Well, this ought to chap Obama’s ass: getting owned by a public school snowbilly writing on a social media site. From Sarah Palin on facebook: After listening to the President’s press conference today, let’s keep in mind the following: This is the same president who proposed an absurdly irresponsible budget that would increase our debt by trillions of dollars, and whose party failed to even put forward a budget in

Behold! Think about this: discussing city business at your dinner table without council approval would be against the law, if this city council got its way. That is, you either get permission from Miss Sonja, or you face the wrath of the functionaries Miss Sonja sends after you. Now, this is clearly unconstitutional. And it would get laughed out of court. But what’s pertinent here is that a city council

Oh, dear lord, let it be true!* Because if it is, I’ll send flowers to the big orange lug! Obama claims he was offering the moon to the intransigent wingnuts, what he is calling “an extraordinarily fair deal” that was, if anything, “too light on revenues.” Which, translated, means he was insisting still on tax increases (of $1.2 trillion over 10 years, in exchange for spending cuts of $1.6 trillion

I’ll be in California next week — LA and environs (since Boyz n the Hood I’ve always wanted to see Compton, and since Valley Girl, West Hollywood) for the first part of the week and SD for the latter part. If anyone is interested in maybe meeting up, shoot me an email.

Rep Louie Gohmert, on Hannity just now, reports of the GOP conference, that the Speaker doesn’t believe we have any leverage, and that we must make a deal before Aug 2 or else risk default — or if not default, risk being blamed for an unfunded military and Social Security recipients not getting their checks. Boehner, per Gohmert, seems unshakable in that stated belief — and is sticking with it

Unemployment worsens. Growth flatlines. Credit agencies threaten downgrades. And erstwhile pragmatic GOPers, bless their honest, sober, sensible hearts, are willing to place the blame precisely where it belongs: with the extremist “teatards,” whose ideologically intransigent and most likely racist demands for a cut in deficit spending, a cap on the growth of government (by way of tying its size to percentage of GDP), and insistence that a structural impediment to

What’s left to say, really? The bipartisan House-passed Cut, Cap, Balance bill remains the only plan on the table, the only one that preserves our AAA rating, and is only four Democrat votes away from a Senate majority to end this debt crisis,” said Senator DeMint. “I will work to force another vote on Cut, Cap & Balance next week because the President and Democrats have not offered the American

I said this last night and I’m going to repeat it: CCB was the compromise. Boehner and McConnell — who’ve received no Democrat plan with which to negotiate, and are now feeling pressure to make some deal with the President, lest they get “blamed” for failing to raise the debt limit — need to suck it up and walk away from any further negotiations. Cobbling together a deal that pretends
