Update 3:20pm Eastern. See my new post on Pete StarkRavingMad. These people can’t contain themselves. And let’s stop the delusion that the Starks are the fringe. They are the center of the nutroots-i-fied Democrat Party. Shocker! Not a word in the NYTimes coverage of the override vote failure about Stark’s remarks. Nothing in the latest […]

(Makestickers.com) The Associated Press assigns BDS-infected reporter Jennifer Loven to cover the president’s second veto of the massive S-CHIP entitlement expansion tonight, and she piles on the bias thick–starting with the first paragraph: President Bush vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have expanded government-provided health insurance for children, his second slap-down of a bipartisan effort in […]

Question the timing.

Giddyup, B.O. Republicans.

Earlier today, I blogged the failure of the Democrat attempt to override President Bush’s S-CHIP expansion bill veto. I linked to the roll call vote, but it deserves a separate post. As covered here extensively last year, the Dems’ push to expand the children’s health insurance entitlement beyond low-income families, beyond children, and beyond legal […]

Child exploitation.

Kiddie care.

(Makestickers.com) Well, well, well. After all that Doing It For The Children hyperventilation, after all the finger-pointing and foot-stomping, after all the kiddie human shield-waving, after all the teeth-gnashing vows not to surrender on their massive S-CHIP entitlement expansion, the Democrat have, yes, surrendered. Surrendered. You will remember that Harry Reid and the desperate, Do-Nothing […]

Gamble.

Kiddie politics.

Conventional folly.

Update 10:30am Eastern. “Meanie” Mark Hemingway reports on the Democrats’ new poster family, the Wilkersons: While USAction and a labyrinthine maze of leftist activist groups prepare to rally around images of Tampa Bay’s Most Photogenic Baby holding up a crayon sign that says “Don’t Veto Me,” Dara and Brian Wilkerson are real poster children — […]

“You can’t be the president unless you have a firm set of principles to guide you.”

It’s baaaack. Remember S-CHIP? The Democrats are racing their universal health care Trojan Horse through the House today and in the Senate by Friday. Yesterday evening after I filed my syndicated column (printed below) on Obama and the Democrats’ first massive tax increase of 2009, the 285-page text of the proposed S-CHIP expansion went online. […]

And look who has front-row media seats.

“Scold.”

Retired gay activist/Hillary supporter/Kerry supporter Keith Kerr = CNN potted plant.

Bush: “Congress is not getting it’s work done.”

This is high-larious. The Hill reports on an internal Democrat strategy memo complaining that the Democrat Party is too hyper-rational and lacks emotional appeal. For real. They think “SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILLLLLDREN!” is too bland and accountant-like: Democrats are losing the battle for voters’ hearts because the party’s message lacks emotional appeal, according to a […]

Sicko.

Unhinged birds of a feather.

Fruitcake.

Driving the point home.

Update 1:40pm Eastern. Bruce Kesler discovers that, despite living in one of the highest cost areas of the U.S., San Diego, owning a modest house in a middle-class neighborhood, with substantial equity, he qualifies for S-CHIP. He says no thanks: What could we do with an extra $10,000 a year, if we didn’t have to […]

The most buzzworthy story on the right side of the blogosphere this weekend concerned young Graeme Frost, the 12-year-old child severely injured in a terrible car accident that also left his sister with permanent disabilities. Graeme Frost was propped up by Democrats desperate to avert the president’s veto of S-CHIP legislation, which would have massively […]
