By Michelle Malkin  •  February 7, 2010 09:51 PM

DLTDHYOTWO!*
See ya:

Unhinged update: Left-wing hate-crime hoaxer pleads guilty in Denver

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 22, 2009 10:46 AM

In August, Democrats in Denver tried to blame conservative Tea Party activists and Obamacare foes of vandalism at the party’s downtown headquarters.
Remember?
Even after the hammer-wielding suspect was revealed to be a far Left anarchist nutball who had worked for the SEIU-tied 527 group Colorado Citizens Coalition and once canvassed for a state Democratic candidate, state [...]

Alan Grayson, Obama’s paragon of congressional virtue

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 27, 2009 04:36 PM

The White House etiquette czar gives its seal of approval to Alan Grayson’s verbal diarrhea. President Obama was in Florida last night and praised Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson as an “outstanding member of Congress.”
But even Democrats are embarrassed by Grayson’s crude rhetoric:
Republicans and Democrats slammed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser [...]

Did ‘Cash for Clunkers’ just put Obamacare on the junk heap? Update: House adds $2 billion more to re-start the program; Schumer seeks $4 billion

By Doug Powers  •  July 31, 2009 01:10 PM

“Cash for Clunkers” — a program that our genius financial managers in Washington had skillfully budgeted to run, appropriately enough, until around Halloween — has been suspended after just a few days. There were many “unforeseen” problems, meaning that nobody who created the program knew anything about what they were doing or the possible pitfalls. [...]

Crony Watch

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 12, 2009 10:40 AM

Three items from the Era of Hope and Change:
1) Team Obama pays back the Daley Machine. White House lobbies for the Olympics in Chicago.
2) Nepotism here, nepotism there, nepotism everywhere.
3) Shocker! Murtha’s nephew used the Murtha name, after all!

Trendy: Oregon Democrats’ economist doesn’t read bill before testifying

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 7, 2009 05:15 PM

We have a President and majority in Congress who don’t read their own massive spending bills before passing them into law.
Now, the trend is catching on at the state level.
Oregon Democrats tapped an economist to attack a GOP recovery plan…after admitting he didn’t bother to look at the GOP bill before testifying against it.

Indigestion:
After opposing higher taxes for months as counterproductive, Gov. David Paterson will seek to increase several taxes from gasoline [...]

Wash. judge nixes Dems’ attempt to disenfranchise troops

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 26, 2008 03:26 PM

Many friends in Washington state alerted me to the Democrat Party’s attempt to disenfranchise our troops overseas through a lawsuit claiming that GOP gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi “confused” voters by identifying himself as “GOP” instead of “Republican.”
A judge has ruled today and stopped the Dem stunt. Thank goodness someone in a robe has some common [...]
