Somehow I forgot about this yesterday: The Senate on Monday night confirmed Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary by a 60-34 vote, including 10 Republicans.
The Omnibus Democrat Agenda Bill is increasing in cost, now up to $900 billion, or more per American family than what is spent on food, clothing, and health care combined. It no longer includes spending on birth control, but it more than doubles yearly federal expenditures on education (that's not temporary!). Wait until you see some of the other stupid projects included, and then ask yourself: how does this stimulate the economy?
Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is saying what I've been telling you for months: that the way to advance liberal, big-government policies is to create panic and crisis and scare the hell out of people. Obama is implementing that strategy in pushing the ODAB.
As if the liberal engineering in the ODAB isn't enough, now there might be a TARP II, which would include a "Bad Bank" that would do exactly what the original TARP was supposed to do.
Al Gore is on Capitol Hill today talking about global warming, as a snow and ice storm rages outside, so bad that schools were closed in DC and Obama told folks they need to be tougher like they are in Chicago. The Gore Effect is working hard. Gore's scientist's former boss has also come out against the idea of manmade global warming, and saying that James Hansen embarrassed NASA with his ridiculous claims about manmade global warming.
A distant planet shows extreme global warming. This must be proof that extraterrestrial life exists.
Democrats are circulating a petition against the Godfather of Talk Radio, in what is probably only the first step towards the Fairness Doctrine. As if that wasn't enough, now Congressman Phil Gingrey wants the Godfather (and presumably the rest of us in talk radio) to back off, and then retracted his statements after being pressured by constituents.
The Democrats were able to pass the expansion to the SCHIP program, which will move about 1.9 million children from private insurance to the government.
For now, the transition to digital television will remain on February 17. Is anybody else as tired as I am of hearing about the digital conversion?
Iranian President "Crazy" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says that real "change" would be giving up support for Israel.
Forget those guys Washington and Jefferson; it's Obama who is our first truly American President.
President Obama tried to go into a window instead of a door to get in the Oval Office. If Bush had done this, the media would have called him an idiot.
The Chicago Sun-Times goes to great lengths to point out disgraced Republicans.
State Senator Jeff Mullis has caved to constituent pressure and withdrawn his co-sponsorship of the Sunday alcohol sales bill.
Democrat State Senator Steve Thompson has introduced a constitutional amendment that would not only create a statewide penny sales tax, but it would also give constitutional protection to the property tax grants.
There are two ideas on how to fund trauma care currently in the General Assembly, a $10 car tag renewal fee and Governor Perdue's "Super Speeder" legislation.
The Zero-Based Budgeting bill has passed through the Senate Appropriations Committee.
