Fanning the Flames

Of Barney Frank’s involvement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you know, the mortgage bubble problem?

Well, the story just won’t quit, folks. It seems those in charge of the FM’s – 6 top execs – get to divvy up $34.4M amongst themselves.

Got to hand it to Michelle Malkin for reminding us of the infamy that these – people – have as they impacted our economy – beyond belief.

UPDATE: Gas Prices MythBusted

Just before Memorial Day Weekend.

Staying close to home? Here’s why.

UPDATE: As if anyone needed further explanation.

Dain Bramage Demonstrated

By Georgetown students.

Having Joe Schoffstall walk around with a petition to ban conservative “hate sites” like Hot Air, Instapundit, Drudge Report – to name but a few.

Students should scream for their money back for being so poorly educated indoctrinated.

Excesses

At home and at the G8.

Let’s see now, here at home federal revenues will top $2 trillion this year, but federal spending will approach double that amount.

Meanwhile, Sarkozy calls for Internet regulation as it is a “moral imperative” needed to “correct the excesses and abuses that arise from the total absence of rules.”

Well now, we need this communication so we can educate each other about the elite who don’t even bother with EXISTING RULES to do the jobs they are supposed to do. Instead they want to misdirect and hide what they do from all of us.

Too late, folks, you aren’t invisible any more.

UPDATE: Voter ID

Guess what? It’s up to the state. Hear that, Maryland?

Look who else has it, and is getting it.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker signed into law Wednesday a requirement that voters in Wisconsin show photo identification at the polls, marking the end of a nearly decade-long push by Republicans to enact it.

Be sure to read the comments also.

UPDATE: Apparently, the Governor of Minnesota doesn’t “get it”. Which only means the he has now REALLY ticked off the voting public.

Over Two Years Ago

The answer to a Jeopardy-like game show – When was the last time the U.S.Senate passed a budget?

The so-called deliberative body of Congress, (controlled by the Democrats), have cowardly made another political choice by again ignoring the will of the people—to put the Federal Government’s fiscal house in order—and to stop the deficit spending. Instead, the majority leader and Senate Budget Committee Chairman, Kent Conrad have no intention of performing their statutory responsibility:

So Senator Harry Reid says, “There’s no need to have a Democratic budget, in my opinion.”

Truly an irresponsible lunatic. For willful failure to do his job – he, and those that back him up, should be terminated immediately. And lose any right to pensions funds.

Gun Control Under the Radar

According to the Greeley Gazette, that’s what the POTUS said to Sarah Brady.

Executive orders have to be stricken and disallowed in all future Presidential terms. No good is coming from them.

Orbitz Standing Tall

So much for (cough) Media Matters (does it really?) trying to coerce advertisers away from Fox News Channel.

Mediaite tells us what Orbitz told MM. Remember that name. They matter.

I’ll remember this when I make travel plans.

Conflicted

Yeah, Allahpundit hits a nerve (or more), I expect.

I think everyone should wake up and pay very close attention to the dealings up to and likely within the SCOTUS concerning any and all references/relationships of recent appointee Ms. Kagan with the Obamacare legislation.

Is her reputation at stake?

Ahem, as much as our own financial future? (Oh, forget all those waivers. Even the recent one where Nevada itself won’t have to worry about complying with Obamacare. If, that is, it isn’t terminated.)

You know, all those – waivers – are supposed to be relieving thosee that can’t afford Obamacare’s conscription.

Hmm. Anybody remember why all this started? Seems to me there was something about 47M, then 30M, people that couldn’t or wouldn’t pay for health insurance.

What are the waivers for again?

Too Rich

According to Russ Feingold, former U.S. Senator (D-WI) of McCain-Feingold campaign reform infamy (let’s not forget that one, right?), has pointed out three politicians for “shame” due to being beholden to corporate interests.

I’ll let you find out who in the article from The Hill. But one of them is from Maryland, another from Connecticut and the other in the “Show Me” state of Missouri.

Imagine my surprise.
