The California Socialist Reich

Hot Air » Blog Archive » California legislature attacks the biggest issue it can handle
State lawmakers are taking aim at what some of them see as a menace to California’s environment: free parking.
There is too much of it, the legislators say, and it encourages people to drive instead of taking the bus, walking or riding […]



When They’re Right, They’re Right

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Canadian province premier bails on single-payer system for surgery
The motto among the statists seems to be: State-controlled access for thee, instant access for me.
Of course. And when has it ever been different? Check out how many laws Congress imposes on the rest of us that it […]



We’re the Government, and We’re Here to Fark You

Justice Dept.: President Obama’s administration may take action on BCS - NCAA Football - SI.com
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a senator who had asked for an antitrust review.
It’s a good […]



I Didn’t Vote For Her

Pelosi would back spending freeze if it also applies to defense - The Hill’s Blog Briefing Room
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Thursday morning she could support a version of the president’s proposed spending freeze that included defense spending.
That’s our San Fran Nan: Billions for illegal aliens, but not one cent for American defense.



Are Obama’s Lips Moving? Then He’s Lying.

U.S. Economy - Salon.com
Don’t tell Republicans about Monday night’s Rachel Maddow Show, where progressive economist Jared Bernstein, who works for Vice President Joe Biden, reassured Maddow that the controversial “spending freeze” the Obama administration just leaked wouldn’t apply to many important social programs, at all. (You can watch it below.)
Maddow made the same point Robert […]



Another Dream World Heard From…

Kinda sick fun - watching Valerie Jarrett on Meet The (De)Press(ed) trying to explicate how The Obamanation & Co. “…turned the economy around…” in the last twelve months!
Nice “deer-in-the-headlights” empty-headed look she had on her pan at several junctures, especially when she was vainly striving to explain just what The Won intended to actually do […]



They Breed

Here’s a poo storm:
Welfare is like feeding stray animals
My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You’re facilitating the problem. If you give an animal or a person ample food supply, they will reproduce — especially […]



King of the Nuts

I heard something strange on the radio this evening: “blah blah blah Governor Jerry Brown urged blah blah blah”. My first thought was that the unrepentant lefties at NPR had succumbed to nostalgia for their drug-addled youth. But, no, it turns out that the drug addled lunatics of California have placed Moonbeam within striking distance […]



How Sweet It Is

Pelosi: House lacks votes to OK Senate health bill - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she lacks the votes to quickly move the Senate’s sweeping health overhaul bill through the House, a potentially devastating blow to President Barack Obama’s signature issue.
Actually, this All Propaganda hack misquotes Pelosi right there in the […]



This worries me.

Can’t remember which site I found the first link on to a site mentioning this.
NEW OBAMA EXECUTIVE ORDER ANGERS US CONSTITUTIONALISTS
this past week, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order thereby creating a Council of Governors to create a working relationship between the Federal Government and State Governments to protect the United States against all […]



Keep. Pouring. It. On.

Roger L. Simon » Massachusetts shocker: Brown Up 15% in Pajamas Media/CrossTarget Poll
A new poll taken Thursday evening for Pajamas Media by CrossTarget – an Alexandria VA survey research firm – shows Scott Brown, a Republican, leading Martha Coakley, a Democrat, by 15.4% in Tuesday’s special election for the open Massachusetts US Senate seat. The […]



I Hope Obama Fails!

Campaign Spot on National Review Online
Yeah, This Is Not Where Axelrod Thought They Would Be, One Year In
When 48 percent of Americans say your presidency has so far been a failure, I think we can all agree that should be scored as a good, solid B+.
I won’t be happy till that number is up around […]



Great Job, Marxist Idiots!

Golden State Off the Rails As Mass Transit Ridership Plummets - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine
What do people in the world’s tenth largest economy do in a severe recession? They stop taking the bus, fill up their tanks, and start driving. It’s happening all over California.
This is an interesting case of “burying the lede” […]



The Solution: Blow Up That Road

America as Texas vs. California « The Enterprise Blog
Like California, the Obama team and their congressional allies seem to think that entrepreneurs and business leaders will simply sit there and take it, doing their “civic duty” by paying new direct and indirect taxes, and complying like obsequious puppies with new regulatory requirements. California provides pretty […]



Trust - Then Vote the Bastards Out

Doctor Zero » The Carnivorous Government
Bob Schieffer makes an amusing joke about Obama spin resembling the feeble excuses of Tiger Woods, and observes that spin doctoring “makes it harder to believe anything the government says… Real security is based on trust in government.”
No, real security is based on trust in ourselves, our liberties, and our […]



Why Can’t the GOP Be This Tough?

Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler » Video of the Day
You remember, don’t you? The PUMAs. The ones that “True Conservatives” were warning us about supporting back in ‘08.
Well… Once again they’ve come out with something that reaffirms His Majesty in his decision back then to […]



Go, Scott, Go!

Scott Brown: Use enhanced interrogation in attempted terrorism case - BostonHerald.com
Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown says a Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner should be treated as an enemy combatant, transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and interrogated by any legal means.
Have you contributed to Brown’s Senate campaign yet?
Jim Geraghty says […]



Getting Closer

Democrats may side-step conference committee on health care - baltimoresun.com
Washington Bureau - As Congressional Democrats attempt to arrive at a final healthcare bill, they appear increasingly likely to forego the formal conference committee process for merging House and Senate versions of legislation, instead opting for closely-held negotiations between leaders from the two chambers.
This is how […]



Pot Calling A Kettle A Pot

Instapundit » Blog Archive » WILLIE BROWN ON CALIFORNIA’S PROBLEMS:
But at some point, someone is going to have to get honest about the fact that 80 percent of the state, county and city budget deficits are due to employee costs.”
This is pretty funny, considering that Willie in large part hand-built the systems that are eating […]



The new Ted Kennedy.

The Most “Responsible” of Democrat Leadership, DRUNK on Senate floor He might not be stoned but he sure sounds like Teddy, without the slurring.

He has the dem points down cold(but not sober). The repugs wouldn’t cave in to the dems so they’re not “bi-partisan”. Of course it takes him several minutes of barely coherent babbling […]



Takeover

We Are No Longer a Nation of Laws. Senate Sets Up Requirement for Super-Majority to Ever Repeal Obamacare - Erick’s blog - RedState
Would a vote in the Senate have to survive an Obama veto in order to repeal this? Can the Senate dictate to the House how it shall be allowed to vote?
Will the […]



Sic Semper Tyrannis

Sen. Ben Nelson announces support for health-care bill
Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, announced to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
Watch for some Republicans to defect now that the socialization of American medicine by the […]



What’s Wrong With San Francisco?

Everything, apparently.
San Francisco News - The Worst-Run Big City in the U.S. - page 1
In 2007, the city went back to the voters, asking for another $50 million for libraries — without publicizing that this would fund the five unfinished projects voters had already paid for. Voters approved it. After all, who doesn’t like libraries?



Socialist Wreckers At It Again
