Republicans Blowing It On Cap-and-Tax

The Senate is trying to revise the cap-and-tax bill to get more Republican support, and none other than Lindsey Graham is working with the Democrats to do just that.  Once again, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

The woman who wrote that the whole world should adopt China's one-child policy has two children.

 

When you listen to the media explain the science behind global warming, remember that the New York Times said that a rocket could not work in space, and the science was settled…until 1969, when the Apollo crew was on their way to the moon, when the NYT issued a correction to their nearly 50-year-old scientific ignorance.

 

The Washington Post says that the Senate "compromise" on the government option would lead to a single-payer system even faster than the original government option, and the New York Times also admits that it would raise health care premiums.  Despite that, Nancy Pelosi says that she is willing to do "almost anything" to pass it this year.  Mental images are very dangerous.

 

Federal employees make over $30,000 per year more than private sector employees, but the "pay czar" is cutting the pay of midlevel bank executives.

 

Some Republicans are trying to stop the Democrats from raising the national debt limit.  It would be a lot easier to take them seriously had they not raised the debt limit seven times since 2002.

 

Washington is responsible for the lack of job creation in the economy.

 

The federal government is going to pay $3.4 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by Native Americans over government mismanagement.

 

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is blaming a shootout in his city on "too many guns."  Will he blame Georgia this time?

 

Some British police officers are forbidden from changing a light bulb or a toilet paper roll in their stations.  I guarantee there is a union behind this.

 

The Congressional Black Caucus is getting tired of the White House not paying enough attention to their pet race-baiting causes, so they boycotted a House committee until getting a $6 billion payoff.  This is like giving a 2-year-old ice cream after a temper tantrum.

 

The White House sent out Christmas cards that do not mention Christmas.

 

Barbie has gotten a Muslim makeover.  How can anybody tell that it's Barbie?

 

Sign the petition to free the SEALs.  If it times out, keep trying.  It is very popular.

 

Some people are trying to forbid a man from joining the City Council in Asheville, North Carolina because he is an atheist.

 

A mother is upset because she thinks a doll is teaching her kid profanity.  Watch the video, but I don't hear it.

 

State House Republicans met for nearly three and a half hours earlier, announcing that they will hold caucus elections next Thursday.  The press was not allowed into the meeting, but a few details emerged.  The AJC's Aaron Gould Sheinin has the details.  At least one member of the House wants to elect the Speaker on the floor of the House rather than in a caucus meeting.

 

Two eighth-graders at Warner Robins Middle School are being charged with indecent exposure after having oral sex in class.  The most twisted part is that other students were covering it up for them.
