Fascinating to Watch
It is incredible that they would even think about it at this point. Yet they've painted themselves into such an untenable corner that they're convinced they'll be harmed if they don't pass it. Well, most of them are convinced of this bizarre fantasy. The trouble is, they need all of them to pass it. Which is why it won't. All wee-wee'd up, I ...

A Wildly Unpopular Congress
Attempts to pass wildly unpopular legislation at the behest of a below 50% president. And for some reason, they always try to do it on Saturday night, when nobody is paying attention. Just wanted to make sure I got that right. Anyone care to dispute that assessment? Since these votes always seem to happen on Saturday night, however, it is ...

Here's Some Actual Nowledge
Though maybe you're right. Maybe pollster.com is run by Glenn Beck.

Pfui!
You don't triple the previous record for deficits and then cry ''Bush made me do it''. Nor do you now suddenly pose as a deficit hawk after running up the most gargantuan perpetual deficits in world history. Obama has to mop up his own damned mess at this point.

"If We Keep Adding to the Debt"
''It is important though to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession,'' - Barack ObamaWe? We? Who is this we, Kemo Sabe? Apparently, if we opposed bankrupting the country ...

Nonprofits and Unions
Would appear to be the last people you'd invite to a Jobs Summit. Unions don't create new jobs; they just suck money away from others to pad benefits for pre-existing conditions known as members. And a non-profit economy isn't exactly a solid platform for growth. Were I a Buddhist (and were Zombie Carter not still staggering around), I'd ...

The Opposition's More Bipartisan
39 times more, as it happens.

If Something Is This Godawful
Not only should you stand against it as a matter of principle, but you should be seen to stand against it as a matter of sound politics. They're pushing it through against the will of their constituents, and they should therefore own it. It's silly to accuse someone of being obstructionist for standing against something that their constituents ...

Not Nearly Enough
We need to kill more Oklahomans for a start. It's tricky, though. The corn is high as an elephant's eye down there. Just when you think there's a bright golden haze on the meadows, them wily Oklahomans spring up to kick your ass. But do you really think reading a bill out loud before voting on it is wrong?

An Archaeological Term?
The Cloward-Piven Man? [Urquhart Never Googles!] First off, Obamacare won't pass. The clock has run out on that kind of crap. They had to basically outlaw abortion to barely squeak it through the House while losing 39 Democrats. There's no way Harry Reid holds every single Democrat together. While all agree that Reid is wicked awesome, he's ...
