In the fall of 2008, in a political discussion with a friend, she asked if I was worried about Obama being elected. I said no, for various reasons.

Not so well, as it turns out (details over at Big Government). In the meantime, the Obama Administration continues to play games on “jobs created or saved”. ..bruce w..

Dana Loesch over at Big Government has a great roundup of the most underreported stories of 2009. Anyone reading this blog is probably familiar with most of the ten (10) stories she lists. Those who rely upon traditional network news (i.e., anything other than Fox) or newspapers are unlikely to be aware of any of […]

“Sherlock Holmes” / “Avatar”: a brief review

I saw “Avatar” (in 3-D) yesterday afternoon and saw “Sherlock Holmes” this afternoon. I’ll be going back to see “Sherlock Holmes” again, probably within a week; “Avatar” will have to wait for DVD, if then. “Avatar” is worth seeing once on the large screen, in 3-D, just for the sheer visual spectacle and technical brilliance.

If you’re not aware, the title of this post is how members of the United States Senate refer to themselves and their institution. I’d like to see any one of those 60 Democrats say that with a straight face anymore.  ..bruce w..

Obamacare Doomed By Snowstorm?

Obamacare Doomed By Snowstorm?

Go ahead, tell me the good lord does not have a sense of humor. It looks like a major snowstorm is going to hit DC starting tonight, dumping up to 16″ of snow in the capital. As Webster can attest, DC siezes up with even an inch of snow, and at times in the 90s, […]
