Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) is 100% correct. Congress cannot afford more spending, Bunning has proposed a way to pay for the extended benefits, but Democrats have rejected it. Have you heard that in the news? Probably not. And as expected, liberals of all sorts are whining about how evil the senator is for daring to deny poor victims their benefits. Like fussy teenagers liberals latch on to the emotional mindset of “I WANT IT” with no regard for how to pay for it. Grow up liberals and find a way to pay for these benefits. Or, listen to Senator Bunning and pull the $11B needed out of the stagnant and useless stimulus funds. It would be nice to see those dollars actually used for something, right?
Happy Birthday Sarah Palin. A discussion of Edward Luce’s excellent article on the four people around Obama that are running the show: Axelrod, Gibbs, Jarrett and Emanuel. Based on interviews with several White House insiders. Then I rip Palin haters.
I was on a self-imposed blogging break but cannot resist tonight. I’m typin this while flipping between news networks to see reactions about Scott Brown’s unexpected and historic victory.
- Keith Olbermann was unusually feisty tonight. It’s as though he is launching a final salvo of his best “material” before he goes home and sticks a Smith/Wesson in his mouth. He pulled out the two week old news about the tax issues that Glenn Beck’s company had and threw him under the bus; he re-emphized his ridiculous tirade against Scott Brown; he insulted people with pickup trucks and implied that support for Scott Brown was synonymous with the racist statist movement of the 1960s; and he topped it all off by somehow trying to defend his immature use of the term “tea bagger” by noting that it was first referenced by a conservative and first reported by Fox News. What a complete and utter asshole. Seriously, the man needs psychological help.
- Chris Matthews started crying while reading a historical quote and proved that hell has frozen over by due to his sudden realization that the people of America might be against an over-reaching government.
- Rachel Maddow could only muster the canned response of spewing Obama campaign rhetoric “the problems Obama faces now are just because he has to fix the mess Bush created.” (paraphrase)
I would normally rip Larry, Moe and Curly over this but I’m in too good of a mood. I got my first iPhone today and Scott Brown won. A great day, time to crack open another bottle of Sam Adams. How poetic.
Let’s get the revolution started!
