Jane Q. On Vacation

My Trip to Fantasyland: An Homage To Barack Obama’s Economic Vision

To break loose from the winter doldrums (and avoid the high season crowds) we’re packing up the kiddos and heading to Walt Disney World for the week.  First time.  Four kids.  Tell me who’s idea of a vacation this is??

Maverick Accentuates The Positive On The Senate “Stimulus” Vote

more about “Hot Air » Blog Archive » McCain: I…“, posted with vodpod
This is encouraging.  McCain doesn’t see any GOP votes for the “stimulus.”  Not sure I’m thrilled about a package that Maverick would “craft” with a bipartisan committee (think McCain-Feingold), but anything with less pork would be an improvement over the [...]

Bob Corker: Dude, Is This Really What You’re Worried About Now? Really??

We were invited late yesterday to a meeting in Sen. [...]

President And Laura Bush Shown The Love

At a university campus in a blue state no less!  Man, I love this.

Given a three way race of Barack Obama, John McCain, and George W.Bush for a third term, this blogger would have voted for George Bush again.  Looks like some of the folks at this basketball game might share [...]

Action Item: Melt These 9 GOP Senator’s Phones; UPDATE: 2.5 No Votes, 6.5 Noncommittal

There is now an open effort afoot to form a “Gang” of Republicans to vote in favor of the Stimulus Bill when it hits the Senate floor.  Not that this is surprising, nor that it hasn’t been going on for quite some time  privately.  We can take advantage of this news by making sure that [...]

President Obama branded Wall Street bankers “shameful” on Thursday for giving themselves nearly $20 billion in bonuses as the economy was deteriorating and the government was spending billions to bail out some of the nation’s most prominent financial institutions.

Palin Haters: Still So Classy

From Wonkette:
So now we are in the middle of yet another manufactured news story centered on a couple of photos of Michelle Obama with wrinkling fabric around her abdomen. This proves exactly nothing, as the nature and position of the wrinkles seem not to progress in the “getting larger” direction, as would happen in a normal human [...]
