A wretched hive of scum, villainy, and FAIL
The New York State legislature is in the throes of controversy, so much so that they’re literally doing nothing, because this week a couple of renegade Democratic State Senators decided to caucus with the Republicans, thus giving the Republicans the … Continue reading
Where’s Tom Foley when you need him?
I sure wish someone in the Great Liberal MSM would give an explanation as to just why it is that Newt Gingrich’s opinion on everything must now be treated like it’s major news. The guy’s like fly shit: you find … Continue reading

John Cole on the “debate” surrounding the stimulus package: No one is selling it. The Democrats are simply AWOL. All I see on my tv are Republicans talking about wasteful spending, as if they have any credibility on that topic. … Continue reading
