If only someone had seen this coming and warned ag’n it. The Washington Examiner: We thought that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s attempt to reform Medicare had struck a fatal blow against the “third rail” mentality in Washington — that cultural defect whereby politicians run in terror from anything new, no matter how necessary it is. Unfortunately, we are being proven wrong — not by voters, and not by

The Democrats will lie, cheat, carpet-bag, demagogue, misrepresent themselves, and make promises that they cannot possibly keep — through any kind fiscal arithmetic, real or magical. It’s time to stop pandering to seniors and work to inform them. And I think much of the panic on the right today is due to the realization that we don’t trust the resolve of politicians on our own side. Thanks again, Newt! (thanks

National Journal: Democrat Kathy Hochul has upset Republican Jane Corwin in a special election to fill the seat of former Rep. Chris Lee, R-N.Y., in a race that became something of a referendum on the GOP budget plan that revamps Medicare. […] The race to replace Lee, who resigned in February after a gossip site reported the married congressman had replied to a Craigslist personal ad, wasn’t supposed to be

Well, no, not really. More like embarrassed for it. But you get the idea. A naked emperor in an armored paper weight. Christ, when will this nightmare end? **** update: meant to add this earlier, but it gets worse. Listen to O’Bama trying on his Irish accent as he greets the press and onlookers: Honestly. I’m shocked he didn’t show up in a little green suit and knickers and a

You don’t say. Thousands of companies that collected more than $24 billion in stimulus money from the federal government owe hundreds of millions of dollars in back taxes, a federal investigation has found. At least 3,700 contractors and nonprofit groups that took in stimulus funds are tax deadbeats, the Government Accountability Office said in a report conducted for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations ahead of a Tuesday hearing. In

And he is unapologetic about his country. Unlike a certain other leader given to unprovoked apology tours I could name. Noted Netanyahu, The Jewish people are not foreign occupiers. We’re not the British in India, or the Belgians in the Congo. This is the land of our forefathers… no distortion of history will deny the 4000 year old bond between the Jewish people and the Jewish land. No return to

Wait, cosmopolitan, Europeanized teabaggers — many clinging to their non-guns and non-Gods — and yet somehow just as forthrightly pissed as our own backwood rubes and dullards, and like them pretending they know jack-all about how best to rule? Posh. Racist haters, the whole transnational lot of ’em. Probably funded by the Jews, to boot: -In April, the people of Iceland went to the polls, decisively rejecting a bailout of

Sure, Obama himself told the American people it was not a tax. And the Democrat-controlled Congress, in forcing it through, insisted it was not a tax. But now, in order to remove any standing of people to challenge its legality, it looks like the three-judge panel for the Fourth Circuit — two Obama appointees and one Clinton appointee — are set to rule that ObamaCare is a tax, and as
