09 September 2009 - Corzine’s silence on why he should be re-elected
We are back after some much needed rest, relaxation and contemplation over politics and the state of our state and the country. I tried successfully to avoid news of New Jersey politics as I was out of state. It was much harder to avoid the next saga of Obamamania as the national news was pre-occupied [...]

25 August 2009 - Democrats announce major astroturf push!
Politico today announced that Democrats would be making a big healthcare push. The article begins with a laudable goal: Faced with a souring public mood on health care reform, Democrats and their supporters are launching a national grassroots push Wednesday to show lawmakers that the majority of Americans still support overhauling the system. Grassroots. I [...]

07 July 2009 - House Democrats want higher taxes for healthcare. Big shocker.
The word is that House Democrats will be proposing higher taxes on “high” wage earners to pay for their healthcare proposals. From Bloomberg: Two people familiar with closed-door talks by committee Democrats said a House bill probably will include a surtax on incomes exceeding $250,000, as Congress seeks ways to pay for changes to a [...]

16 February 2009 - Stimulus ideas you disagree with are still ideas!
This morning I read an editorial in the Trentonian written by Donna Brazile decrying the fact that the GOP was “nitpicking” on the stimulus. Even more so, her contribution to the discussion was that Republicans had no ideas to add to the discussion. I am paraphrasing here because I do not want to dignify her [...]

05 February 2009 - Liveblogging Obama talk at Democrat retreat
Obama starts with two jokes in questionable taste: – Thanks for giving me a reason to waste fuel on Air Force One – Rahm Emmanuel teaches underpriveledged profanity in his spare time Then he gets serious. His initial remarks suggest that the stimulus plan is to help the downtrodden.Has mentioned seriousness but not anything yet [...]

05 February 2009 - Democrat Stimulus Bill must be rewritten – CALL YOUR SENATOR!
As we have written in the space before, the “stimulus bill” is primarily a collection of Democratic party detritus and paybacks to donors from the Presidential campaign. Since the urgency of this legislation was to stimulate the economy, this bill should be killed in the senate. There are many valid programs in the bill and [...]

04 February 2009 - Who’s the dope now? Obama and Biden
We just spent 8 years listening to the mainstream media about the stupidity of George W. Bush. There is no doubt that W could really mangle a participle. But the real comparison is whether or not the team surrounding the President have their act together. And while W did an ok job early on, Barack [...]

26 January 2009 - Stimulus that doesn’t stimulate – Part II
In our first post examining the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act we examine each category of spending and commented on whether or not it was worthwhile as well as its impact on stimulating the economy. Last week saw a Congressional Budget Office report (or draft) that drew some of the same conclusions that we did [...]

17 January 2009 - Democrat stimulus package or massive pork bill? You decide-Part 1
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009 is perhaps the most appalling piece of proposed legislation I have ever seen. The stated purpose of the bill is to jumpstart the economy and create jobs. The bill itself claims that there are no earmarks in this bill. That is one of the most comical claims [...]

14 December 2008 - Illinois corruption coverage still mentions New Jersey
This week as the story of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich looking to sell Barack Obama’s senate seat to the highest bidder broke, I expected to see plenty of coverage of the history of political corruption in Chicago. I have always thought that the Chicago political machine represented the worst political corruption of all the 50 [...]
