In today’s Washington Post, an editorial by #44 his own self, none other than POTUS B. H. Obama, pushing for passage of the Stimulus Bill Spending Bill Porkulus Bill.
I find it a bit strange that a sitting US President can pen an editorial is a major newspaper; maybe such things have happened before; [...]

I wanted to compile such a list myself, but the folks at WashingtonWatch.com beat me to it.
Here’s a list of the Congress People who had a “change of heart”1 on the Bailout Bill, and went from non-support to support in a scant few days.
The list also includes links to the MOC’s website, and most importantly, [...]

I have the sickening feeling that the House of Representatives will cave and pass the Bailout Bill1 later today, then adjourn and rush home for the election campaign.

I guess the Senate is planning a vote on Bailout Plan B in primetime tonight. Like wrapping the dog’s pill in raw hamburger to get him to take it, the Senate has added provisions to up the FDIC-insured deposit limit from $100K to $250K. There are also provisions to overhaul the Alternative Minimum Tax1.

Here’s a powerful post from downsizedc.org that I’d give my left one to have written.
… On July 4, 1776, 56 men stood up and agreed to pay the price for our liberty.
They had spirit.
The politicians who walk the halls of Capitol Hill are home in their districts now. They’ll ride in parades and give speeches [...]

The Tea Party ‘07 fundraiser for Ron Paul having come to an end, I’ve replaced the TP banner with one for downsizedc.org, an organization promoting the simple and not too outlandish premise that the U.S. Congress should actually read legislation prior to voting.
From the group’s mission statement:
We believe the federal government has grown too large, [...]

Be careful with the fireworks, watch out for fellow travelers; also watch out for the cops, and the MADD-assisted sobriety checkpoints.
The text that appears below is the reason for the season; how much of this still applies? And who will write such a document when it becomes imperative to do so again?
I have no answers; [...]
After the Virginia Tech tragedy, there will be time for all of these things:
For the anti-gun crown to use this case as cause for more stringent gun control.
For the armchair administrators to cuss and discuss why campus wasn’t locked down after the attack at the dormitory.
For the armchair police officers to ponder why a University [...]

I’ve come down with the dreaded late winter/early spring cold. Several factors contributed to my current afflictions:
Mother Nature, for 40-degree swings in daily high temperatures.
A vendor, who shall remain nameless1, for providing a dysfunctional POS of a remote access console, forcing me to leave the warm but shabby confines of my cubicle and [...]
