Victory in Massachusetts

Democrats got a slap in the face last night from Massachusetts voters, who elected Scott Brown to the United States Senate.  The Democrat circular firing squad has already started, although some liberals are already claiming that Coakley lost because the health care bill is not liberal enough.  Health care was not the most important issue for Brown voters, but the health care bill might have been because of the taxes included.  At least Coakley gave us one last laugh before the race was over yesterday, with a press release claiming voter fraud dated Monday.

 

At least Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) gets it:  "We're all pretty unpopular."

 

The White House says that Obama's top priority is jobs.  Wasn't that the point all along?

 

Rep. Mike Pence may be considering a run for Senate.  Run, Mike, Run!

 

The next sector of the economy to be nationalized by the Obama administration is student lending.

 

The United States is only the world's eighth freest economy.  Hong Kong is the freest.

 

The peaceful, serene, loving, caring religion of Islam closed an "illegal" women's gym and sentenced a 13-year-old girl to 90 lashes after she took her cell phone to school.  The most surprising thing about that is that a 13-year-old girl was allowed to go to school.

 

The Director of National Intelligence said that Captain Underpants never should have been allowed to lawyer up and shut up.

 

Hugo Chavez says that the United States military caused the earthquake in Haiti.

 

A government school nurse in Massachusetts gave students insulin instead of the swine flu vaccine.

 

New York Governor David Patterson is proposing $1 billion in new taxes.  Hopefully Georgia will be able to capitalize on the exodus of business.

 

A group of fundies are sending solar-powered talking Bibles to Haiti.  I'm sure they'll be relieved that they can have the Bible read to them while they're dying in the streets of starvation and a lack of drinkable water.

 

Watch Hitler's reaction to Scott Brown winning in Massachusetts.

 

This is a very unfortunate, and very cold, wardrobe malfunction.  It really makes you appreciate how hard spandex is working, doesn't it?

 

Somebody was shot during a hunting junket including John Oxendine and his sons.  The details of this stuff just can't be made up.

 

While Oxendine was getting ready for the Oscars, the other candidates for Governor had a forum last night.  It was mostly boring, with the candidates agreeing that they will not raise taxes and that they do not like ObamaCare, but there were a few shots fired last night.  Jason Pye has some analysis on who did well and who did not.

 

State legislators still can't pay their taxes, but the Department of Revenue is saying that it is possible for tax refunds to be delayed this year.

 

Two Georgia school board members are suing the state to overturn the nepotism clause from last year's education reform bill.

 

While Georgia holds on to most of the vestiges of bureaucracy in state government, the Department of Corrections has cut 1,550 jobs.

 

Thanks to Oprah, there is more support for the ban on texting while driving.  I like the response from the guy from Lobbyists for Life and Liberty.

 

Atlanta is America's gayest city.  DeSoto may be the dumbest.

 

Somebody will have to convince me to care about the post office on Davis Drive closing.

 

Last night at the meeting of Warner Robins City Council, they confirmed Alton Mattox as City Clerk, approved spending $20,000 to run water and sewer lines to Vietnam Veterans Memorial Parkway, and skipped over a little bit of procedure to speed some things up, with the approval of document shredding City Attorney Jim Elliott, who I argue in today's Warner Robins Patriot needs to be back in private practice.
