She doesn’t want us to know

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) stops an amendment offered by Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) that would create a Senate rule to enact a 72-hour waiting period and a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score before considering any legislation in the U.S. Senate and all of its committees from coming to the floor for a full debate (Oct. 8, 2009).

2010, here we come.

Running

I would say so, Mr. Hoffman.

Just the Facts, Man.

By now, one would think the Federal Government would know how to straighten up and fly right.

Guess not, when it comes to reporting on jobs saved/made based on that TARP.

Outrageous Profits – Not Where You Thought

Yup.
It takes the Associated Press to tell us.
But Hot Air to inform us.

And GatewayPundit shows us that Congressional pay raises exceed the insurance profits.

Can you imagine that?

EDIT: It has been said before – Rationing

Imagine my surprise. In Massachusetts no less..

Simple Math

Speaking as an election judge for the last several cycles, I have come to know that a good turnout of voters is about 35 percent for the precinct that I worked.

That means 35 percent of all registered voters within one area.

What it also means is that there is nearly TWICE as many voters (who did vote) that have not bothered to vote AT ALL. For whatever their reasons.

It is entirely possible that the upcoming elections next year can be winnable, by us, if we can convince those to come out and vote their conscience. It would signify the end of voter apathy, which – I think – we have reached now.

Think about that. Deeply. Seriously. Then contact the FBI – your Friends, Brothers and In-laws – to come to the polls next year and vote their heart out.

(This has been an unpaid political announcement and will be repeated in time for the 2010 elections.)
