| GM CEO resigns at Obama’s behest |
HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET HERE? The Obama administration asked Rick Wagoner, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, to step down and he agreed, a White House official said. On Monday, President Barack Obama is to unveil his plans for the auto industry, including a response to a… |

Maybe it’s just petty, but I find the distinct lack of pre-and-just-post-election arrogance by Obamanauts lately to be kind of amusing. Funny how the Emperor is never wearing any clothes no matter what sect of the Great Political Machine he is allied. You kids with the (D) registrations getting the… |

| 50% of the nation’s wealth gone |
Is there a single rational, non-moonbat Democrat in the country left who can look at the economic news every day and still defend Obama’s policies? I’d love to hear a reasoned explanation for destroying so much of the country’s wealth so quickly. For concentrating on things that either aren’t broken… |

| Stimulus, spending and raising taxes during a severe recession: why would they do this? |
This is why. “It’s not about fixing the economy; it’s about proving Reagan wrong.” It’s about proving that an enlightened government is superior to a country led by tens of millions of individual sovereign decision makers. Yep. Doesn’t matter that we all know for a fact that it is not… |

Listen for yourself: Nice thud when 1100 pages hits the floor… Obama lied, and if you voted for him, you should be outraged. From the website Obama set up: End the Practice of Writing Legislation Behind Closed Doors: As president, Barack Obama will restore the American people’s trust in their… |

| Game over, man. Game over. |
Jesus. Christ. On. A. Pogo Stick. The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages. The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation… |

| Obama era expected to end taboo on gays in US military |
Good. Sixteen years after Bill Clinton tried to end restrictions on gays in the military, the US armed forces under Barack Obama may be forced to give homosexuals the same welcome as non-gays. Under president Clinton, the policy that once saw homosexuals discharged from US military service evolved to “Don’t… |

| Obsession |
I cannot believe Andrew Sullivan is still obsessing over Sarah Palin’s pregnancy. What’s worse is his sycophantic followers refuse to call him out on his lunacy. Worse than that is the fact that he has any fans who still take him seriously. It says a lot about the idiocy of… |

| Would Obama really give Hillary the Secretary of State job? |
Did Obama offer Hillary the Sec.State job solely to “find out” that he “can’t” give it to her because her husband is a walking scandal machine? He gets to pretend that he wanted her while other elements in the party trash her up one side and down the other? In… |

Obama will win. It’s 9:23 PM on election night and there’s a mathematical possibility that McCain can win, but let’s face it - he never really had a chance. Not at his age, and not by turning UberRepublicanRovianStyle Republican. He needed to be conservertarian and he wasn’t. So what do… |

| A note about the use of “raising all boats” as campaign rhetoric |
The ONLY way to raise everyone’s boat evenly? YOU HAVE TO CREATE MORE WATER. Some people don’t seem to understand that they are misusing the phrase. Learn how creating more water applies to this election and vote accordingly. |

I just want to see if I can boil this whole thing down to the most basic elements possible. Due to lessened regulations and requirements of creditworthiness, billions of dollars was loaned to people who couldn’t qualify for a debit card much less a mortgage. Those same people re-and tri-financed… |

| McCain’s convention speech |
As I expected, it didn’t wow me, but I didn’t hate it. He was pretty reserved for McCain, and he pandered a bit to the hard religious right there at the end. Part of why I don’t generally like him, that tendency to pander and call it “being a maverick,”… |

This is good, but it’s only a partial victory.

The 5-4 ruling resolves a constitutional question that had… |
