Biden: I don't blame people for voting for that inmate in West Virginia instead of for us
This is actually a fairly deft, politic response to a realllly bad outcome. He can't say "voters are stupid" or, as his party believes, "voters are racist," so instead he absolves them and lays the whole thing implicitly on - who else? - George W. Bush.
But since no one takes Biden seriously, it transforms instantly into a late-afternoon giggle about the VP kinda sorta admitting they deserve to lose to a felon. Can't wait for that Arkansas primary. As a little bonus on the recurring theme of "no one takes Biden seriously," watch the new ad below from American Crossroads after you're done with the first clip. Starts slow but you'll enjoy the payoff, I promise.
Media Works To Suppress Obama 'Born in Kenya' Bio
While the internet buzzed with Breitbart News' release of a booklet from President Obama's literary agency circa 1991 describing him as being "born in Kenya," the mainstream media still refuses to report the story, or plays defense for Obama.
Never mind that the agency used the "born in Kenya" biography until 2007. Never mind that authors who have worked with the agency state that the agency asks that authors pen their own biographies. Never mind that Obama has routinely padded his biographical details to appeal to particular audiences. Nothing to see here.
Three guesses which industry is showing persistently robust job creation
Since the start of their tenure, the Obama administration has fallen over itself in its efforts to create jobs - "shovel-ready" jobs, "clean-energy" jobs, government jobs...
...all of which were brought into existence because the government wanted them to work, not because the productive free market called for them. Strangely enough, President Obama seemed surprised when those shovel-ready jobs "weren't as shovel-ready as we thought," and when those green jobs cost taxpayers millions of dollars a pop. And, try as the Obama administration might to foil the oil and gas industry with scant permitting and an increasing regulatory load in order to help enforce their environmental vision, you just can't keep a good industry down.
Five reasons Congress should act now to stop Taxmageddon
Americans are facing an unprecedented $494 billion tax hike on Jan. 1, 2013. It's been dubbed " Taxmageddon " given the economic devastation it would cause.
Conventional wisdom suggests lawmakers in Washington will wait until the 11th hour to come up with a solution. Fortunately, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced this week he won't wait for a lame-duck session of Congress.
The Death of the Hockey Stick?
The iconic symbol of the global warming panic may have taken a hit from which it will never recover.
People who have been following the climate debate closely know that one of the most controversial and key elements of the controversy is the so-called "hockey stick" - a graph of supposed global temperature over the past centuries that ostensibly shows a dramatic increase in average temperature in the last century or so (the upward swoop of the graph at that point is the business end of the stick, with regard to the puck). It vaulted its inventor, Michael Mann of Penn State University, to climate stardom, with associated acclaim and government grants, when he first presented it in the late '90s. It was the visual basis of much of the hysteria in recent years, from Al Gore's Oscar-winning crockumentary to bogus reports from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Unfortunately for those promoting the theory (and the potentially economically catastrophic policy recommendations supposedly supported by it), recent events indicate that the last basis of scientific support for the hockey stick may be crumbling.
Fifty U.S. Legal Scholars Urge the Senate to Review ACTA
Fifty legal scholars in the United States have written an open letter to the Senate urging them to use their rights under Article I of the Constitution to force the Obama Administration to submit ACTA to Congress for approval.
Under the U.S. Constitution the Senate must approve all International treaties before they can be signed by the United States government. To avoid submitting it to the Senate for approval, the administration said that it was not required to approve it because it was an "executive agreement." Now officials are saying that the Senate gave the Administration approval to sign the treaty when it passed the 2008 PRO-IP Act. The change in position came in a response (dated March 16) sent to Senator Ron Wyden, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee's Trade Subcommittee, who inquired why the Administration had not submitted the treaty to the Senate prior to signing on to it. Department of State Legal Advisor Harold Koh said that the treaty was not a "sole executive agreement" as indicated by the USTR, but was instead already authorized by the 2008 law.
Janine Turner: It's Time for TRUTH
Radical common sense.
"Time for TRUTH" seems like a cliché. Perhaps it is a cliché, at least in government. Lots of well-meaning men and women dedicate many hours of service to the United States government. Yet somewhere along the way TRUTH became a nice thought but an unattainable goal, and somehow America started a downhill spiral on a road with no return. Entrenched in the gutters of "it simply can't be done," many representatives of the people insist that clarity, accountability, and accessibility (of bills, for example) are simply too hard to obtain. "Status quo with a minutia of meaningful exertion," is the mentality that permeates the parliament.
Politico Renews Attacks On Private Citizens to Protect Obama
This isn't the first time Politico has done oppo-research on private citizens to rescue Obama.
Ace of Spades reports that Politico "reporter" Maggie Haberman (pictured above) has taken it upon herself to do background checks on private citizens appearing in Mitt Romney campaign ads. Within hours of the release of Romney's very effective "A Few of the 23 Million" video, Haberman published this report on the pages of the left-wing Politico...
Another day, another congressional shutout of O's latest unserious gimmick. That makes three in the past year.
The Senate torpedoed his last budget 97-0 in May 2011, then the House dropped a goose egg on him in March with a robust 414-0 tally. Now this. 610-0...
