GOP Rep. Pence: “What’s the hurry? What are they hiding?”

Shooting down “misleading” labels

It’s here!
For the Johnny-Come-Latelys in the MSM who will be dispatched by their editors to file obligatory stories about the hundreds of Tax Day Tea Party protests across the country today, here is a cheat sheet to get you up to speed.

Blog pioneer Glenn Reynolds, author of “An Army of Davids,” has a nice overview of the Tea Party movement in the Wall Street Journal today. (We probably shouldn’t use the phrase “army of (fill-in-the-blank) anymore” — what with all the DHS warnings about “rightwing extremism chatter on the Internet” and “disgruntled military veterans” [...]

Leslie at Temple of Mut blogged the San Diego Tea Party this weekend and took a pic of my favorite sign of the day:

If you are a grass-roots activist who believes in fiscal accountability and transparency, you see a protester who is sending a clear message to the Chicken Littles in both parties in Congress: [...]

My syndicated column today looks at how radical cap-and-trade legislation is getting rammed through Congress. It’s rare that I agree with anything Robert Byrd says. But I do today. No April Fool’s joke!
On a related track, Dems are ramping up efforts to use budget reconciliation to force their universal health care scheme [...]

Swallowing the Crap Sandwich.

My syndicated column today tallies up all the craptacular spending that’s been going on while the AIG-bashing hypocrites on the Hill crow about $165 million in corporate bonuses none of them bothered to stop before they rushed to fork over billions to AIG in the first place. I mention the little-noticed $6 billion GIVE Act, [...]

Grabby.

Calling bull.

Kabuki Theater of Outrage.

Duh.

I filed today’s syndicated column on Turbaconducken before the final conference report was FINALLY posted on the House Rules Committee website late last night. Guess what’s back in the bill? Money for stadiums and museums. You’ll recall that GOP Sen. Tom Coburn’s amendment striking stimulus spending on things like Harry Reid’s Mob Museum passed. [...]

The House Financial Services Committee dog-and-pony, bash-the-banks theater has just taken a recess.
I’m ready to puke. If there’s one thing more maddening than the private companies that crawled to the feds for a bailout, it’s the bailout Chicken Littles sanctimoniously inveighing against them for spending all the TARP money they forked over in a blind [...]

President Doom.

I noted last month that some Chicken Littles in Congress were beginning to rediscover their heads as the bailout debacle unfolded.
The flock is growing. Financial wunder-blogger Mish notes that congressional bickering may hinder Hank Paulson’s grab for the next helping of Crap Sandwich 2.0:
Two top U.S. lawmakers warned Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson that he may [...]

Bok bok.

Bok bok.

My syndicated column this week rips Hapless Hank Paulson and his flock of sheeple in Washington. The latest headlines suggest that the auto bailout is in trouble. But don’t get your hopes up too high. Politicians will cave. And no matter what euphemism they use, you will pay for it.

The inevitable bailout creep.

The Dow Jones Industrial average has plunged about 2,000 points since the House of Representatives passed bailout legislation on October 3rd. The market’s back up this morning, but the feds should resist patting themselves on the backs. Yale law professor Jonathan Macey argues that officials at the Federal Reserve, Securities and Exchange Commission and Treasury [...]

The Treasury Department is telling us to be patient and not to panic.
After screaming that the sky was falling the past two weeks and holding a gun to our heads and peddling scare stores of martial law, they’re telling us to be patient and not to panic.

The usual suspects [...]
