The blindness of the right is mindboggling at times. Over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey has a post up entitled “Taxpayers to Obama: Keep your hands off our deductions”. Here’s what Ed says: In his speech on Wednesday, Barack Obama suggested that eliminating some tax deductions might be necessary to close the budget deficit, at […]
So the party of “financial responsibility” is going to spend about $1.1 million just on reading the Constitution on the House floor: The amount I get is nearly $1.1 million. $1,071,872.87, to be exact, though of course this is more back-of-the-envelope than exact. When one chamber of Congress is in session but not working, we […]
(Updated below the fold) The Justice Department has subpoenaed indymedia.us for it’s visitor logs for a certain date. While this raises big flags regarding online privacy, something else happened with this action that is very odd. They recipient of the subpoena was told she could not talk about it unless authorized by the Justice Department […]
As the House prepares to take up a resolution of disapproval over Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst during last week’s appearance by President Obama to a joint session of Congress, the wingnuts have found what they claim to be “hypocrisy” on the Democrats part. This video is from 2007 when Rep. Pete Stark was saying how […]
The right is going after lawmakers who are not holding townhalls during the recess. I believe there is merit to this charge.

They have […]
There has been a lot of talk today about a WSJ article talking about the totally insane rise of overseas trips taken by members of Congress on the taxpayers dime. If you read Ed at Hot Air you can quickly see where the problem is: Democrats ran on the Culture of Corruption charge in 2006 […]
Bill O’Reilly decided to go after blog commenters the other night and he just so happened to single out Hot Air. The interesting part of that is the fact that Hot Air is owned by Michelle Malkin, who is a common face on FOX and has even guest hosted for O’Reilly in the past. The […]
Last week we saw lots of conspiracies the right has been pushing about Obama’s trip over seas. One that really amazed me was the entire “Obama bowing” before King Abdullah. The right went viral on it (and still are). As matter of fact the idiots over at Hot Air have even put together a video: […]
Well if you ask Hot Air readers, then it’s Sarah Palin, who comes in a distant second to “no one”: Please, oh please promote the Wassilla-billy Palin to reins of Republican Leader.
Here is what a McCain/Palin Republican posted on Hot Air regarding the passing of Obama’s grandmother: (click for full size) Yes this is how the McCain/Palin Republicans think and feel about life. It is truly disgusting and the campaign has done nothing to stop it. (Again – I know the campaign is not tied to […]
