So, would the House GOP be surrendering today if they vote to support the Senate plan to extend the Debt Limit to Feb 2014 and funding until Jan 2014? No, they would not. They would be living to fight another day AND be in a good spot to attack ObamaCare’s individual mandate. Because weeks more […]

  Major Update: Ezra Klein interviews someone directly familiar with Obamacare’s technical issues, and he confirms my predictions  – this is not going to get fixed soon: So I think some of the problem is the Obama administration never brought in heavyweight IT people to oversee this. Are there no Democrats in Silicon Valley? Kathleen […]

Obama’s Shutdown Theater deserves a theme song. And I think I have just the one [an adaptation of Woodie Guthrie’s This Land Is Our Land]: This land is O’s land, this land’s NOT OUR land From California, to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters This land’s now run […]

Now I understand why the GOP continues to poll worse than the Dems in regard to the Shutdown Theater. They have no fire in their political efforts. A GOP ad has been released and it underscores this problem: The ad is boringly factual, focused on House GOP CYA (we passed bills to fund the government) […]

Major Update: When exposed to the public, the Barrycades come crashing down like some form of “evil from the night“: After being taken down, officially because of the government shutdown, the federal website dealing with alerts about abducted children – AmberAlert.gov – was restored Monday morning. … It was not clear as to why it […]

This is America, taking down the Barrycades!
