A lot has been going on this week... more so than other weeks. So, let's run down a few of the choicest cuts leading into the weekend:
- The Dems Must Be Shady
Two old-school Democrat lawmakers, Maxine Waters and Charlie Rangel are both up on ethics charges. (But their constituents have been dumb enough to elect them this long, I'm guessing it won't effect future elections for either). Meanwhile, John Kerry tried to hide his new yacht in Rhode Island to avoid taxes in his home state of Massachusetts.
We can only imagine the shit-storm this would kick up if it were a bunch of Republicans behaving so badly, but we all know why it isn't*
- If You Can't Beat Them...
Speaking of shady Democrat tactics, this story was harder to find than it should be*. Democrat patsies on the ground (who are surely the lowest forms of life in America today) have taken to petitioning for Tea Party candidates, so as to get a third party on the ballot that will split the Conservative electorate.
They tried calling the Tea Party small and irrelevant. Then they tried calling them crazy and white. Then they tried calling them racist and violent. And, since none of that has proven true, they will resort to old chicanery.
- Missouri is Great
You may not have heard*, but on Tuesday, the citizens of the Show-Me State spoke loudly about the government's new Health Care Law by voting overwhelmingly to
- Deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment for lawful healthcare services?
What did White House press secretary Robert Gibbs think this 3 to 1 decision by Missouri voters meant for the country and President Barack Obama's administration?
- Modify laws regarding the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies?
"Nothing."
and also the vote has, "no legal significance"
- Voting Has No Legal SignificanceAs long as judges continue to legislative from the bench, the voices of Americans will continue to be extinguished with the help of the ruling political class and their minions*. Robert Gibbs and Barack Obama know this. And the only people who know it better than the two of them, are the 7,000,000 voters who had their votes canceled by 1 gay judge, when he overturned California's Proposition 8.
- One of YF's Favorite Malcontents
Christopher Hitchens has cancer. He wrote about it in Vanity Fair recently, in his own special way. Arguably the world's most famous atheists, he says he's astonished at the number of people praying for his health. I guess that is a pretty good illustration of his lack of understanding of Christianity, in my opinion.

You forgot the Republicans in Congress voting to deny health benefits to 9/11 first responders. Why? *
Another lame political trick? Loading up a feel good, patriotic bills with irrelevant pork so that when people vote against it they can say, "See! He voted against hugs for dying children!"
No, they voted against it because it was "raising taxes". The taxes? Closing a loophole in the code that allows foreign companies to hide assets in offshore accounts and avoid paying taxes on income earned in the US. Another good idea. I'm sorry facts are so biased against you at times.
"You're Wrong" must've caught the part about "the lowest forms of life in America today".
Don't hate the playa... hate the mutha truckin' game.
... also, I posted about the 9/11 first responder thing on the Yummy Links many days ago. Click "what a weiner" for more info.
"You're Wrong" forgot to mention the Dems required a 2/3 majority vote for the 9/11 first responders bill...not a simple majority to pass.
