  • It turns out that Jabba the Hutt didn’t bang Princess Leia, but he did try to get her to bang Chris Dodd<\/a>. Being a Democrat means getting away with things that would force a Republican to resign. If bloggers hadn’t forced the MSM to cover the story, they would have covered up for Anthony Weiner, too. The Washington press knew for decades<\/i> that Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd were utter sleazebags, and yet they still carried water for them. The question is: What Democratic scandals do MSM reporters know about right now<\/i> that they’re refusing to cover?\n
  • The United State Air Force would like you to say hello to their little friend<\/a>: “Aerospace giant Boeing Co. has delivered the first batch of 30,000-pound [Massive Ordnance Penetrator] bombs, each nearly five tons heavier than anything else in the military’s arsenal…The weapon’s explosive power is 10 times greater than its bunker-buster predecessor, the BLU-109. And it is nearly five tons heavier than the 22,600-pound GBU-43 MOAB surface bomb, sometimes called the ‘mother of all bombs.'”\n
  • Rich liberals want other taxpayers to subsidize their decision to live in New York<\/a>. “[It] might as well be called the Bicoastal Elite Tax Relief Act.\u201d\n
  • Trouble at Gulf Coast Planned Parenthood<\/a>.\n
  • Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were at the very heart of the housing bubble collapse<\/a>. And yet, I’m not aware of a single office holder from the Democratic Party who has even suggested closing or privatizing Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. This isn’t closing the barn door after the cow escaped, this is getting a whole new barn, a new cow, and a new oil lantern, and putting the oil lantern in the exact same place<\/i> the previous cow knocked it over when it burned down the previous barn.\n
  • Cheap solar? Ain’t happening.<\/a>\n
  • You know how Formula 1 racing was coming to Austin with the help of taxpayer subsidies? Yeah, not so much.<\/a> According to Comptroller Susan Combs<\/a>: “We have not paid out any money for the Formula 1 event. The only dollars that can be spent on the United States Grand Prix are tax revenues attributable to the successful running of a race. The state of Texas will not be paying any funds in advance of the event.” I’m still not a fan of the Major Events Trust Fund, as tax kickbacks for sporting events are not a proper function of government, but at least they’re not providing blank checks the way some taxpayer subsidies of professional sports do.\n
