The Least Patriotic Administration Ever

by Doug TenNapel

I wish I could say I was shocked to discover that Health and Human Services cabinet nominee Kathleen Sebelius is a tax cheat. I’m not moronic or Democrat enough to call this administration a “culture of corruption,” I’ll leave that to smaller minds buried beneath tighter stretched faces. But now we can add Sebilius to a pile of tax-cheating nominees that include; Daschle, Geithner, Nancy Killefer and Hilda Solis.

Kathleen Sebelius didn’t admit to cheating, she claimed that they were “unintentional errors.” I have reason to suspect cheating when all of these unintentional errors just happen to go in one direction. None of these Democrat nominees unintentionally overpay taxes or claim too little on their charitable donations. Like Franken vs. Coleman, the errors always seem to go one way. (more…)

Quick!!! While He’s Outta the Country, Let’s Change it Back to ‘America’!!!!!!!

by Gary Graham

The Prez has flown to England and there’s only one thing to do while he’s gone: Let’s get our country back. Okay, it’s not going to be easy, there are a lot of hurdles.  I’m pretty sure I can take Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and that puffball press secretary Gibbs.  Multiple adversary bash-a-thon!!!   Hai-Yah!!

Barney Frank I ain’t touchin’… I’m not a homophobe; I simply suffer from an irrational childhood fear of Elmer Fudd.

And Nancy Pelosi?  I’m sending my friend Andrew Breitbart in to cross-check her hard into the glass.  (I know he’s been dyin’ to get the go-ahead.)  I am certain that if I confronted her, she would hit me with that death ray from those Neutronium eyeballs of hers…the same ones that hypnotize the Washington press corps into not busting up every time she opens her mouth.

Mortgage Math Doesn’t Add Up

by Jeffrey Jena

I am no Nobel Prize winning economist like Paul Krugman. I didn’t go to Harvard or Dartmouth like the president and his economic brain trust of Geithner and Paulson. I did, however pass seventh grade math at Holy Family School in Ashland, Kentucky and the way I see it, something doesn’t add up.

 

Way back in October, (you remember October, it was when the Worlds Series was going on), the President was saying unless we slapped down seven or eight hundred billion dollars to get rid of bad mortgages and other “toxic assets” we were going to slide down into the abyss of economic ugliness from which there was no return. We needed to do it, right then! Now! Today! Wait, is this a four day weekend? Ok, we’ll do it Monday. Do you remember?  So we ponied up the dough and that solved the problem, right? (more…)

Congress Acts Swiftly!

by Gary Graham

I notice that the House acted swiftly to tax the AIG bonuses.  (And at 90% — wow…seems a bit steep, but hey – taxation as a means of punishment is a time-honored tradition amongst the Left.)  Because earlier they had acted swiftly in condemning the fact that AIG executives were even taking bonuses at all after receiving billions in bailout monies.  And this on the heels of the 787Billion dollars ‘Stimulus’ Bill that the Congress had acted swiftly to pass. 

Chris Dodd acted swiftly to redirect blame toward the Treasury Dept. for the snafu, and Tim Geithner acted swiftly to stumble over his memory of time lines of discovery and timing on the whole affair; while Maxine Waters, Our Lady of Pure and Noble Purpose, acted swiftly to indignantly demand answers from Chris Dodd, Tim Geithner, and anyone who could point the camera at her microphone.   (more…)

Why Should Obama’s Poor Cabinet Choices Surprise Anyone?

by Seth Swirsky

Candidate Obama chose to be friends with William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist. Yet, the leftist media thought it was more important to “vet” Bristol Palin’s boyfriend’s family.

Candidate Obama chose to allow Tony Rezko, now an indicted felon, to loan Obama $300,000 to help him buy his big home. The press and Democrat voters thought John McCain’s seven homes – bought without the hint of a graft – was a more important story.

Citizen and candidate Obama chose to remain in the church of Reverend Wright’s, whose diatribes against America are now famous. But, the media and Democrats thought it was more important to demonize President Bush who kept America safe from terror attacks for 7 ½ years.

Senator Obama voted against the Surge. In light of the Surge’s obvious success, did the media call candidate Obama’s judgement into question? No. (more…)
