No surprise here.

Judge Maryann Sumi has issued a ruling throwing out the Wisconsin collective bargaining law based on an alleged failure to comply with the state Open Meetings Law.  Unlike prior rulings, which were based on a “likelihood of success” standard in connection with emergency injunctive relief, this is a full...

Bill Clinton – The Only Adult Democrat

That’s saying a lot.

Unlike the children who run the Democratic Party, Clinton recognizes that Medicare and other entitlements must be reformed, and that the Democratic Party is harming the country by making “do nothing” the main focus of Democratic Party campaign strategy:

But ABC News was behind the scenes with the Wisconsin Congressman and...

Yes, Obama Did Attempt To Shift U.S. Policy On The Pre-1967 Borders

Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic has been leading the charge, echoed by many, not only that Bibi Netanyahu was disrespectful to “my President,” but also that Obama’s statement regarding Israel’s borders in his Middle East speech last Thursday did not represent any meaningful change in U.S. policy.

In the speech Obama stated that a...

He was crazy, not political, although the left-blogosphere and some politicians tried to make it political and tried to blame Sarah Palin for his actions.

Even people we commonly refer to as “crazy,” however, can still be legally culpable for their actions, but even before that determination, a court needs to decide...

Stop Disrespecting My President

First it was Bibi Netanyahu stating that Israel will not go back to the 1967 borders.

Now it is the Queen of England refusing to click glasses.

Maybe she was upset that he had to read his toast from index cards, or maybe it was protocol.

I don’t care.  He is my President, and I...

I had a Volvo 240 wagon for 14 years.  I hated to let go of it, but the time had come.  I sold it in 2003, and the person who bought it from me still has it on the road.  The engine pretty much can run forever.

I always thought of the 240 as a Series around which Naderite liberals and cheap-as-hell capitalists (like me) could unite.

Democrat Kathy Hochul won NY-26, a Republican District, in a special election yesterday, with 48 % of the vote.  Jane Corwin, the Republican received 42% and phony Tea Party candidate Jack Davis 9%.  These percentages may change as there are several thousand absentee ballots, but the result is not in doubt.

During a visit today, Obama signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey “24 May, 2008.”

I’m impressed that he got the month and day correct.

This will be about a three hour laugh.
