This latest in response to my post detailing how the left will try to smear Santorum. From Sam Seder, who writes: we’d like to invite you to call into the Hipster douche’s show any time you’d like- we’re live 11:30 AMET M-F and take calls generally after 12:10 at 646-257-3920… you can “Ask why, for instance, no one has asked Santorum to respond to this bit of truncated video.

Like Reid, Pelosi comes out loud and proud for unconstitutional non-recess “recess” appointments, now that it is one of her clan doing the appointing

In his speech at Shaker Heights High School, Obama proved — as Dennis Green might say — that he is who we though he was. In fact, Obama — under the guise of Champion to the Middle Class (he’s looking out for you!) — has essentially said that separation of powers, checks and balances, and, in effect, the Legislative branch itself, are mere nuisances that need to be circumvented, and
