Scott Brown has already used the “money bomb” fundrasing technique to great effect, and this video is going viral even as I type. If he succeeds in his quest to be “the 41st vote” against Obamacare, it will have less to do with divine intervention than with a canny sense of the electorate’s mood and […]

UNINTENTIONAL IRONY AND THE PROGESSIVE
Perusing the increasingly incoherent effusions of the Left, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that a facility for unintentional irony is the defining characteristic of the contemporary progressive.
One of Sullivan’s readers is kind enough to provide a textbook example of this phenomenon. He starts off with a refreshingly accurate assessment of the Massachusetts political environment:
Here in Massachusetts, […]
WHY THEY CAN’T PASS REFORM BEFORE SEATING BROWN
Many fear that congressional Democrats will try to circumvent the will of Massachusetts voters by passing Obamacare before Scott Brown is officially placed in ”Teddy Kennedy’s” Senate seat.
The good news is that the procedural obstacles to such skulduggery are so high and so numerous that even the Democrats won’t be able to get around them in the 10 days or so they’ll have after next Tuesday’s election.
The most […]
BARNEY FRANK: REFORM DEAD IF BROWN WINS
There has been a lot of talk about the Dems passing Obamacare before seating Scott Brown, but a Republican win in Massachusetts would signal such a dramatic mood change in the electorate that this contingency is unlikely. That’s what Barney Frank was getting at today when he said:
If Scott Brown wins, it’ll kill the health […]
COAKLEY: CATHOLICS SHOULDN’T WORK IN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS
In a radio interview conducted yesterday, Massachusetts Senate candidate Martha Coakley asserted that devout catholics (i.e. those who object to abortion) should not work in hospital emergency rooms:
Yammering about “separation of church and state,” she actually has the temerity to say, “You can have religious freedom, but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.” Here’s […]
INCOMING: YET ANOTHER OBAMACARE TAX
Another day, another tax. Have the President and his congressional accomplices EVER had a meeting in which they didn’t think of a new way to vacuum our pockets? Their latest idea suggests that they’re tired of scraping by on the money they siphon out of our paychecks:
Democratic congressional leaders are considering a new strategy to help finance their […]
VIDEO: BOSTON CAT GETS JURY DUTY. IS HE REGISTERED TO VOTE AS WELL?
As I watched this hilarious news story, my tinfoil hat started buzzing and I found myself wondering if this feline-American was also registered to vote. Will this be an ACORN-registered vote for Coakley?
My tinfoil hat must need a tune-up. Turns out that the Massachusetts Office of Jury Commissioner doesn’t use voter lists at all. It selects potential jurors […]
REID RETRACTS LIEBERMAN LIE … SORTA
Harry Reid is snakebit. He can’t even pull off a garden-variety lie anymore. This afternoon, he was forced to walk back his lie about being “double-crossed” on health care reform by Joe Lieberman :
On Thursday afternoon, Reid issued a vaguely worded statement attempting to diffuse tension caused by remarks a New York Times magazine story attributed to him […]
I TOLD YOU SO: UNIONS GET EXEMPTION FROM CADILLAC TAX
As I predicted last summer and last weekend, the labor unions have strong-armed the President and his congressional accomplices into giving them an exemption from the health benefits tax that the rest of us will be forced to pay:
The nation’s labor unions … have cut a deal with House Democrats: Labor will drop its opposition to the […]
JOE LIEBERMAN CALLS HARRY REID A LIAR ON HEALTH REFORM “DOUBLE CROSS”
Harry Reid isn’t having a good month. First, his 2008 brayings about Obama came out and now the claim that Lieberman double-crossed him on health reform turns out to be another of Reid’s trademark whoppers.
Reid claims the Connecticut Senator gave him no warning, before going on “Face the Nation,” that he wouldn’t back a bill with a public option. But Lieberman has […]
