Let’s see, we had a housing market collapse because of risky liberal schemes that lent money to people who had no business taking on such loans but did line the pockets of a lot of DC insiders. The market collapse caused every home owner in America to lose massive amounts of equity (read – savings), […]

Well, it has been a while since I dusted off The Duh! Files, but here is one for the record: The health care overhauls released to date would increase, not reduce, the burgeoning long-term health costs facing the government, Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf said Thursday. … The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, […]

  It’s been a while since I dusted off the Duh! Files category, but this news article cries out for the label: Holder: Closing Gitmo won’t be easy … Closing Guantanamo, he said, “will not be an easy process.” … “It’s going to take us a good portion of that time to look at all […]

Obviously unsatisfied with her second straight slur at CPAC, Ann Coulter is now trivializing murder. Is this acceptable discourse? I don’t think so.

This is a bit off the beaten path, but it is frustrating to see the federal government giving indications that it is going to fight the merger of XM and Sirius. Unless they have proof of nefarious intent, then they need to lay off. The biggest reason I have NOT purchased satellite radio is the […]

Over at Captain’s Quarters, there is a discussion of civility. On the previous thread is what appears to be his response to Ann Coulter’s comments. It’s a good post, but the comments at the second link are instructive as well. They are part of the reason that Republicans got spanked in the 2006 mid-terms. Conservatives […]

What happens when you disarm law abiding citizens so that only criminals have weapons? Simple: More criminals feel comfortable commiting crimes with guns (allows them to control the situation).
