As much as it kills me, I need to give credit to Malkin on this image: Now McCain is all against these bailouts? I guess he figures we forgot about his entire “suspension” of his campaign last year to fight for the TARP.
David Frum has a piece in the latest Newsweek eviscerating Limbaugh and his cronies. It wasn’t a fight I went looking for. On March 3, the popular radio host Mark Levin opened his show with an outburst (he always opens his show with an outburst): “There are people who have somehow claimed the conservative mantle […]
Why don’t the conservatives embrace John McCain? I thought the very base of the conservative movement was fiscal conservatism. Well John McCain went off yesterday about the recent earmarks, like the $250 million David Vitter won, or the $114 Richard Shelby won, or even the $86 million Kit Bond won, but conservatives will rush to […]
It looks like Nicolas Sarkozy’s party has taken lessons from John McCain: U.S. indie band MGMT has threatened to sue French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s party for repeatedly using one if its hit songs without permission, unless the band is fully compensated for its use. The Union pour un Mouvement Populaire party paid a standard €53 […]
A new study of online porn subscriptions reveal some interesting numbers: The biggest consumer, Utah, averaged 5.47 adult content subscriptions per 1000 home broadband users; Montana bought the least with 1.92 per 1000. “The differences here are not so stark,” Edelman says. Wow – I wonder what Orin Hatch has to say about this? Also […]
Going from Obama’s speech to Jindal’s was a shock to the system. Watching the reaction meter on MSNBC, I wasn’t the only one who thought this. Even McCain voters weren’t impressed.

I posted the email last night that John McCain sent out stating he would be running for re-election in 2010. The email, as with all of these, was mainly for the purpose of fundraising. But let’s take a look at one key paragraph and what McCain is using to stimulate his fundraising: The economic challenges […]
I keep hearing the media say that Obama is “fear mongering” when talking about the stimulus plan. Here’s an example from today: The Note, 02/11/09: Fear Itself — A $3 trillion day, a bailout bust, as the president stokes fear to prod action So we are losing a record number of jobs, businesses are closing […]
For all those out there who I knew would be worried about the future of John McCain, fear no longer. We now have official confirmation that he is running for re-election in 2010: I want you to know that I do intend to seek re-election. The magnitude of the financial crisis that many American families […]
First they take the lead from their king: (h/t Bob) Then they eliminate the key facts: Only the stimulus package to be approved this week, the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program passed four months ago and $168 billion in tax cuts and rebates approved in 2008 have been voted on by lawmakers. The remaining […]
