What’s the rush? It’s only the BUDGET.

According to Politico, Congress is “poised to miss its April 15^th deadline for finishing next year’s budget without even considering a draft in either chamber.” (“Congress sees no budget rush” 04/12/10) With that “Congressional Mulligan” as my outline, I am “poised” to miss the IRS’ “April 15^th deadline” without considering filling out their ridiculous and repetitive forms. I am a proud and un-hyphenated American citizen as opposed to one of our “Congressional Potentates,” how well do you think that that plan will work out for me?

Lost within the hubris and sarcasm of the liberal Congress missing an April 15^th budgetary deadline, it isn’t difficult to figure out why this one will go by the boards. Congress and all of its lemmings and lackeys are too busy poking and probing the returns of ordinary citizens in order to bankroll any number of progressive programs and pogroms meant to penalize the productive. After all, Obama has a “scamulus” bill, a “health scare” bill and a “controversial” globaloney warming/climate change bill that are in dire need of the disposable and non-disposable income of the nation’s middle (and soon to be lower) class.

While we have all been busy decoding the Emanuel Cleaver Zapruder film, stopping, pausing, rewinding and looking for the magic loogie, real shots–with real bullets– have been fired.

In politics the answers to important questions rarely can be answered either yes or no. Compromise in the world of politics is important, often distasteful, but important. Yet there are times when compromise is not only distasteful but wrong. Are we in such a time? Yes! On some issues there can be no compromise, there is but one option and that is to stand for what you believe in. What are the issues on which the Republicans should refuse to compromise? Why, on these issues, is compromise wrong? Let us take a look at the issues on which there should be no compromise.

The Democrats have decided to re-name the Republicans the “Party of No.”  That’s it.  That’s their strategy to avoid an electoral debacle shaping up to be as bad for the Party of Hope and Change as 1994 was for the Party of Grope and Sleaze.  Many have tried this strategy before.  Harry Truman ran against the “Do-Nothing Congress” in 1948.   Given their legislative and economic record, it makes sense the Democrats want the American people to spend the election year looking at someone else besides the Denizens of Chicago’s 51st Ward.

The basic flaw in their scheme to fool America is that due to the disastrous nature of our first year in Camelot II the Government Party has been unmasked for the grasping Progressives they are and the Independents who swing the vote have decided the Democrats are the Party of No-Way!

This week the recent Obama epiphany known as the “spirit of bi-partisanship” reared its unattractive head of serpents as his hilarious health scare scam has been “modified” and it is now called “Hope-a-Dope.” (Liberal language softener 1.0 primer: When “global warming” failed, try climate change.”) When the liberals, who used to be enabled by the flatulence of “Hope and Change,” start walking around with olive branches in their hand, you know that it is something that they HAVE to do and as with every maneuver that is carefully choreographed by the leftists, it’s all for effect.

Rudolph has called in sick, but in retrospect, maybe having someone with such strong political views fill in for him wasn’t the best idea St. Nick ever had…

Governor Sarah Palin resigns effective July 26, 2009 after constant media scrutiny and being the butt of endless and tiring jokes, ridicule and intrusions into her family’s privacy what does this mean?

At a time when the media is still sucking news from the big wave of pop star Michael Jackson’s short and fiery life Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announces her resignation. News sources are in a frenzy to define the implications of her resignation all the while ignoring the real question of their own bad behavior.

Most Americans love a good scandal. Schadenfreude, the taking of pleasure from the misfortunes of others, is a basic element of human nature. Granted, not the prettiest, but nonetheless, there is something deeply satisfying about seeing the mighty brought low, the arrogant humbled and the wrongdoer getting his just dessert. A reminder to us all that misfortune is not ours alone.
