Cost Of Reading Constitution On House Floor, $1.1 Million. Reneging On Financial Responsibility, Priceless!

Politics

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 […]

Tea Leaves And Tea Baggery?

Politics

An interesting shake up in the House GOP today as Mike Pence announces he will step down as chairman of the GOP Conference. This could play into speculation of Pence throwing his name in the bid for the Republican nominee in 2012. But things get even more interesting: One thing to look for now that […]

A Quick Thought On Tax Cuts

Politics

Yesterday during the President’s Q&A session with House Republicans Mike Pence asked President Obama why he won’t support across the board tax cuts like Reagan wanted. This has been a key issue for Republicans for decades and I am wondering why they never did it when they had total control of the government. Think about […]

Will Today’s SCOTUS Decision Be Fixed?

Politics

President Obama seems pretty pissed about the decision by the Supreme Court to open the flood gates on corporate money into the political arena: With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics.

House Republicans Vote Against Our Troops

Misc

What does this say? House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are voting against the House/Senate fiscal year 2010 defense authorization bill — because it contains hate crimes provisions designed to protect gays and lesbians.

Still Wonder Why They Are In The Minority?

Misc

The House Republicans rolled out their big budget plans today. Instead of telling you about it, its probably best to just watch: They have no plan! Well except to give tax cuts to the wealthy. To see just how badly unorganized the House Republican leadership is, check out one of their leaders on MSNBC: Later […]

Time For Some Catch-Up

Misc

 I swear there are just not enough hours in the day, so let me do a quick catch up. First we have the Senate Judiciary Committee issuing a subpoena to former Rove aide Sara Taylor, while the House Judiciary Committee is issuing one to Harriet Meirs.

Rep. Mike Pence Is Full Of Shit

Misc

Think Progress brings us this little gem: On Monday, Republican lawmakers visiting Iraq tried to argue that President Bush’s escalation in Iraq has made Baghdad — especially the Shorja market — safer. Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) told reporters that Shorja — where a suicide bomber killed 88 people in January — is now “like a […]
