Alan Grayson, Obama’s paragon of congressional virtue
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.”

He doled it out to Ethics Committee Democrat members walking around on the Hill.
And it’s paying off.

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
“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
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.

Trendy: Oregon Democrats’ economist doesn’t read bill before testifying
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.
Because [...]

Photoshop of the day: Queen Caroline
Our wonderful friend and photoshopper Tennyson Hayes is back. Nothing more needs to be said about Caroline Kennedy’s Senate bid than Tennyson’s photo-commentary:

Nobility cannot be bothered with the rules and customs of the little people:

New York guv’s recession prescription: Obesity taxes!

Wash. judge nixes Dems’ attempt to disenfranchise troops
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 [...]
