I filled you in last October on Craig Becker, the radical SEIU lawyer whom President Obama nominated for a slot on the National Labor Relations Board.
Well, in the wake of his abominable health care takeover sellout, beleaguered Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson is reportedly joining the GOP opposition to Becker. The Massachusetts Miracle increases the chances [...]

Please.
The White House spends a full year trashing Republicans for having no ideas on health care reform.
The White House spend a full year promising transparency while subverting it.
And now, after a year’s worth of closed backroom meetings and midnight holiday weekend legislative sessions in which Republicans had severely curtailed ability to offer amendments, President Obama [...]

The door is this way…

I’m proud to call Colorado Springs home for myriad reasons — quality of life, cost of living, terrific schools, physical beauty, Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, and great cultural amenities. For starters. The city leans conservative to libertarian, but is no monolith. There are “progressives” and Big Business statists and everything in between. Most [...]

Talk to the hand.
I was offline most of the weekend with family, so surfed over to Memeorandum tonight to catch up on the latest blog buzz. What have the left-wing blogs been raging about?
The ink on Sarah Palin’s hand.
The wall-to-wall coverage leads with “exclusive” investigative reports from a HuffPo “independent journalist and foreign [...]

See ya:
Scott Lee Cohen, the pawnbroker whose surprise victory in last week’s Democratic lieutenant governor primary was followed by scandalous revelations about him, quit the race tonight during the half time of the Super Bowl, saying he didn’t want to “put the people of Illinois in jeopardy in any way.”
Cohen made the tearful announcement at [...]

Here’s your Race Hustler of the Week. Grievance-mongering bean-counter John Conyers can’t help himself.
Via The Hill, h/t BlogProf:
Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) has called on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to demote the official coordinating Haiti relief efforts for not having enough minority staffers.
The House Judiciary Committee Chairman sent a letter to Clinton [...]

You’ll notice I haven’t pounded on President Obama’s mispronunciation of “corpsman.”
(See Allah and Ed’s recaps.)
I guess I’m all gaffetastic-ked out this week.
Instead, let’s use the opportunity to spread the word about the great work the Navy Corpsmen do.
Milblogger Herschel Smith at Captain’s Journal pays tribute here. Read the whole thing. He concludes:
“Navy Corpsmen [...]

My column looks at the bloated Census p.r. and education budget. GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson is asking questions. As well he should. History shows that the more the Census spends on advertising, the lower the response rate is. Best watchdog site for all the latest Census shenanigans: My Two Census.

On MLK Day last month, the Denver Public Schools served Southern-style fried chicken, biscuits, and collard greens for lunch.
Despite the fact that MLK was actually from the South and actually liked those foods, the racial grievance crowd raised hell and complained that the menu was RAAAAACIST — prompting an apology from the school system.
Now, we [...]

As we noted yesterday, President Obama told Senate Democrats to turn off cable TV and blogs and instead talk to the “folks” outside the “echo chamber.”
So, what’s the King of the Taxpayer-Subsidized White House Echo Chamber doing today?

GOP cap-and-tax 8′er Mark Kirk won the GOP primary in Illinois for the Senate seat formerly occupied by Barack Obama.
After pandering to enviro-nitwits and casting his vote in favor of the largest energy tax increase in American history based on shoddy science and Al Gore-led fear-morning, Rep. Kirk promised Illinois voters he wouldn’t pander the [...]

Hell has frozen over. Pigs are sprouting wings. The left-leaning 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has removed a moonbat judge from the botched LAX millenium bomber case and ruled that his sentence was too short, unreasonable, and in blatant violation of federal sentencing guidelines.
The story is breaking. Seattle P-I reports:
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of [...]

Cha-ching:
While President Barack Obama is proposing to cut some taxes for companies that hire workers, his budget would raise a host of other taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals.
The budget proposal released Monday would extend Obama’s signature Making Work Pay tax credit — $400 for individuals, $800 for a couple filing jointly — through 2011. [...]

The Obama children and child obesity
President Barack Obama is in Baltimore today, but it’s his wife’s last pronouncement on her campaign against childhood obesity that’s caught my attention. As the president did several months [...]

Last March, I spotlighted documents obtained by the invaluable Judicial Watch pertaining to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s military travel demands — zeroing in on her diva request in December 2008 to have the military reposition a military jet from San Francisco Airport to Travis Air Force base so she wouldn’t [...]

Peter Orszag blogs this morning about the newly unveiled, $3.8 trillion White House budget: “The Budget lays out a plan to put the country back on a sustainable fiscal path.”
Via the House Republicans, this is what the Obama administration’s idea of a “sustainable fiscal path” looks like:

The WSJ breaks the debt deluge down further:

In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a “new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”…before pushing cap and trade.
The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie.
It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in Nevada — [...]

My syndicated column today expands on Tuesday’s blog post about the Aafia Siddiqui terror trial debacle in New York City (see here for background/links) and what it portends for the future. Yes, I call it Cirque du Jihad. The White House and DOJ are now scrambling to cook up contingency plans for their jihadi show [...]

President Obama’s rhetoric meets reality, again.
After pushing hard to try Gitmo detainees in New York City, the White House has now ordered the Justice Department to try and find other venues. They are still insisting on shipping suspected jihadis to federal courts on U.S. soil.
It’s going to be a long, [...]

Oh, goody.
The man whose in-state appearances helped doom Democrats Jon Corzine in New Jersey, Creigh Deeds in Virginia, and Martha Coakley in Massachusetts is now scheduled to campaign for flailing Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet here in Colorado.
President Obama will bring his reverse Midas Touch to the mountain West next month, according to the Denver Post:
The [...]

Oops. The head of the Purple Shirted Army got carried away with his rhetoric — likening his political opponents to terrorists.
When his underlings use such rhetoric against Tea Party activists — as SEIU goon Dennis Rivera did in a phone conference with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last summer — there’s no problem, of course.
But [...]

Every Senate Democrat voted to raise the debt limit to $14.3 trillion. The vote was 60-40 on straight partisan lines.
Let me repeat that — and let it be repeated loudly and often:
Every Senate Democrat voted to raise the debt limit to $14.3 trillion.
That’s $45,000 per American.
Here’s the roll call vote:

Can’t say it enough: There is [...]

Va. Gov. Bob McDonnell is giving a terrific counter-response to Obama’s spend-all, do-all State of the Union address. He is drawing on the Founding Fathers and talking about the need to restrain government. “The federal government is simply trying to do too much.”
Speech excerpts here:

“Good government policy should spur economic growth, and strengthen the private [...]

We’re an hour and a half away from President Obama’s Swagga Recovery Speech. He’s going to get his mojo back, we’re told, by acknowledging missteps — and then dumping the blame on lobbyists. Seriously. I know a lot of folks are organizing SOTU drinking games. But I don’t need the headache. This [...]

Eeenteresting. About a week ago, the SEC agree to cover-up bailout documents for AIG until 2018. The documents relate to the backroom bank bailout payments at top dollar to AIG counterparties — which know-nothing Tim Geithner was grilled about today on the Hill. The leak comes as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke heads to the Hill [...]

Over the weekend, White House operatives were all over the map with their stimulus job estimates.
(I think they were using “Mayan Math.”)
Anyway, talk show host Bill Wills in Cleveland asked White House spokesman Bill Burton about it. Burton airily dismissed criticism of the discrepancies as “petty.”
Here’s the audio:

And transcript:
WILLS: And finally Mr. Burton, on [...]

My syndicated column today torches President Obama’s fiscal freeze follies. A new CBO reports says the year-old Porkulus will now cost $75 billion more than originally estimated. Which is why the White House is scrambling to de-emphasize its spending discipline pose and talk about something else. Anything else. Like new legislation “restricting foreign corporations from [...]
