Posted on April 5, 2011 by mesasmiles

This was Rush’s headline comment for his radio show today, and was his lead comment on his e-mail blast after the show. And it looks like that’s what the Republicans are going to do. I certainly hope so. I was … Continue reading →

So Harry Reid is trying to jam this behemoth omnibus spending bill through the lame duck session. Om’gosh, I just caught myself typing omnibus spending bull. Is that a Freudian slip or what! It makes me sick to my stomach … Continue reading →

Posted on July 28, 2010 by mesasmiles

I liked Andy McCarthy’s description of Judge Susan Bolton’s decision today to issue a temporary injunction against Arizona’s attempt to enforce federal immigration law. He called it nuts.
