You can catch me on Neil Cavuto’s show around 4:30pm Eastern-ish to talk about Bush and the mocking media’s shoe shuffle.

“Not everyone has to believe the same things.” Or do they?

It’s the PC time of year…

Reason number 99,786 I’m glad I’m not a New Yorker: The Democrat governor is proposing a tax on non-diet sodas — along with a bevy of other tax hikes — to cure the state’s economic ills. Indigestion: After opposing higher taxes for months as counterproductive, Gov. David Paterson will seek to increase several taxes from [...]

“You fight like a woman.”

Time to light up the switchboards again.

As I’m sure you’ve heard, a suspicious arson struck Sarah Palin’s home church in Wasilla. There were several women working on crafts to donate to needy families for the holidays. Ed has video here. Reader Pat from Team Sarah sends info about a fundraiser to help the church, which suffered upwards of $1 million in [...]

An unhinged Iraqi journalist fulfills the dream of every MSNBC anchor and NYTimes editorial columnist by throwing his shoes at President Bush during an impromptu news conference in Baghdad. Watch. Thankfully, President Bush was not hurt. *** Snort. Patterico writes: “I think I heard that Iraqi journalist scream ‘Don’t tase me, bro!’ as he got [...]

The Wall Street Journal calls the rapidly expanding Obama stimulus plan “meatier.” Meatier? I think they mean crappier. We’ve graduated from Crap Sandwich to Crap Super Stuffed Sub. The stimulus boondoggle went from $300 billion to $500 billion to $600 billion to $1 trillion in less than a month. Give me your over/under that it’ll [...]

Toughen up, sweetie.

“You can take my leg, but you can’t take my heart and you can’t take my soul. I’m a Green Beret.”

Dear President Bush: We repeat: No means no. And the law is the law. Read it. No TARP money for the UAW bailout. It’s illegal. Stop the bailout cycle. Follow the law.

Know-nothings.

Sacrilege.

Operators are standing by.

My syndicated column today puts the screws on Clintonite Carol Browner, rumored to be Obama’s choice for energy czar. She’s not so fresh and so clean. And conservatives should raise their voices for, you know, real change. *** Same old, same old. The trouble with Obama’s energy czar by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2008 [...]

GOP Sen. Tom Coburn releases a new pork report this morning on “The Worst Waste of the Year.” “As we look back on federal spending for 2008, American taxpayers will laugh, and then cry at how their elected officials spent their hard-earned dollars. Not even these tough economic times have dulled Congress’ ability to find [...]

Here’s the roll call vote on the UAW bailout cloture motion (Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to Consider H.R. 7005. ) (Catch up on all the late-night shenanigans here if you missed my liveblogging last night.) Behold the yea, the nays, and the no-shows who didn’t vote: The 10 pro-bailout Republicans: [...]

Dancing around the questions.

Scroll for updates…10:15pm Eastern. Latest word from the Hill: Talks between UAW and Corker fall apart. Excellent news for bailout opponents…more below…McConnell and Reid on floor discussing timing of cloture vote…Reid wants vote at 10:40pm Eastern…Countrywide Chris Dodd whining…Corker: “We were three words away” from a deal…GOP wanted a “date certain” on reform…more below…roll call [...]

Silly you! Don’t you know that when Harry Reid complained about how D.C. tourists reek, what he was really saying was how awesomely awesome they are: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid defended himself Wednesday over a joking comment that tourists to the Capitol sometimes smell. Turns out many people weren’t amused. The Nevada Democrat has [...]

Split personality.

Lettucehead alert.

“We simply cannot ask the American taxpayer to subsidize failure.”

Reader Ron wants to know: “Will Saxby stab us conservatives in the back now that he’s been re-elected? He should be leading the charge against this bailout of the UAW that tried to defeat him. He’s been AWOL on it.” Call him and ask him. And let me know what his office tells you: 202-224-3521.

Ugh.

Blowin’ more smoke?

Babies around the world are bearing the name “Obama.” Waiting for the inevitable report of the first case of parents naming their twins “Hope” and “Change.” Related: Baby-name remorse.

The sun rose today. The world didn’t end. So now, the anti-Prop. 8 mob is back to bashing Mormons and denying that gay activists have gone overboard with their blacklist tactics and bullying campaigns. Via the Deseret News: An advertisement in last Friday’s New York Times that defended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day [...]
