On the Upton plan

Earlier today, I received this alert while lying in my sick bed. From the Washington Examiner:  “BREAKING: Obama will allow insurers to continue sale of canceled policies”.  Which was, obviously, just President’s attempt to get out in front of the growing rebellion from vulnerable Democrats up for re-election, and the “bi-partisan” Republicans who believe they’ve devised and ingenious political plan to cause the President “excruciating political pain,” as our friend

Sickness falls; and also, I don’t feel well

Well, I’ve relapsed into some sort of chest cold that is causing me to cough up what looks like parts of my spleen.  On top of that, Satchel has picked up a stomach bug, despite our having gotten him his flu shot early.  Our littlest one is coughing a bit and has a runny nose, but that’s not slowing him down.  So all hell has broken loose around here, and

“Introversion isn’t Obama’s problem, his inability to tell the truth is”

Geoff B sent along this link, which I’d also seen in my morning email, of a column by Gene Healy.  Who doesn’t pull punches.  Making him an extremist whose unhelpful rhetoric is sure to drive away the illegal alien vote. It never fails. Whenever a president’s approval ratings tank, out come the deep think pieces about how the president’s personality flaws explain his political dilemma and ours. Vanity Fair’s Todd

From the “there’s hope yet” files: “Repeal of “Stand Your Ground” Soundly Defeated in Florida”

Breitbart: An attempted repeal of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law was voted down in that state’s house judiciary committee on November 7. The bill offered to repeal it was HB-4003. And according to LegalInsurrection.com, HB-4003 would not only have repealed stand your ground but would have also diminished Floridians’ right to self-defense in other ways, other settings. The repeal was offered by state representative Alan B. Williams (Democrat). Because he

Matt Lauer: Concern Troll for the GOP; Sarah Palin: Having none of it

Which of course makes her part of the problem, as many former McCain-staffers turned Democrat consultants will gleefully tell you. Again and again and again I’ve written “it’s the ruling class vs. the rest of us,” and the narrative is being pieced together just as we knew it would be: Cuccinelli’s loss in VA is yet another death knell for the “extremists” in the TEA Party who can’t win; meanwhile,

I now own a $15K 2-carat diamond ring … [Darleen Click]

Yes, I haven’t paid for it yet. And, well, yes, it is still only sitting in my shopping cart. But if it’s good enough for Obama … The fight over how to define the new health law’s success is coming down to one question: Who counts as an Obamacare enrollee? Health insurance plans only count subscribers as enrolled in a health plan once they’ve submited a payment. That is when

See? You invite him to a “conservative leadership conference” for NRO…

…and he immediately takes you seriously. Let me see if I can put this in a way that is easy to remember and perfectly simple to understand:  Joe Scarborough is to GOP strategy :: Perry Como is Heavy Metal Satanic Tribute CDs and sacrificing orphans on an altar to please Baal. Need proof?  Here you go:  Scarborough, appearing on a liberal show with a liberal host, trashing TEA Partiers and

Hard sell: inevitability is here again, and it’s being rolled our way like a giant human flab boulder

Take a look at this FOX News video and see if you aren’t about ready to vomit by the end. It’s one thing to push a narrative.   It’s quite another to hide a boner under your desk while you’re spinning the thing — particularly when the object of your obvious lust seems to be the dumpy RINO and not the more interesting and attractive interviewee who you’re directing with some

Congrats, Satchel!

Yesterday Satchel competed in the Big Horn Nationals Wrestling tournament held in the Budweiser Events Center here in Colorado.   Despite his being only 2 weeks into his 10-and-under career — and facing far more experienced wrestlers in this, his first tournament of the season — he finished 3rd, earning an “All American” certificate and a third place trophy. The first place winner — a very polished young girl —
