Maybe this is why Contessa felt a rather false sense of security in challenging Rep. Mo Brooks with the question...
 
Almost 80 percent of lawmakers might need to crack open an economics textbook before the congressional recess ends, a new study on Tuesday suggests.
The vast majority of members lack an [...]

WASHINGTON–President Obama announced the first-ever fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards for long-haul rigs, work trucks, and other heavy duty vehicles Tuesday, the second mileage pact with manufacturers in [...]

The dimmer switch.
It's really very hard to defend taking away the people's right to choose, as Mark Steyn points out ...
 
I think we ought to be harder when minor functionaries of a failed leviathan reveal themselves to have a defective understanding of the role of government in free societies. Steven Chu, the Energy Secretary who [...]

Thanks to the inimitable Paquito D'Rivera for shedding light on this phenomenon, because I've been unable to understand how it is beneficial for Americans to spend their hard-earned, and increasingly hard to acquire dollars on propaganda shows produced by tyrannical dictators who enslave their people and hate us. While it's easy to understand why the [...]

About the media's mining expedition through the nearly 25,000 emails of Sarah Palin for "Gotcha!" gold ...
Well, a couple days in, and an army of agitated and eagerly duped stooges (readers) of the New York Times, WaPo, and various other MSM mental giant news organizations has offered-up some scathing Weiner-esque revelations against former Gov. Sarah [...]

Yes. Yes. Yes. But he said the same thing just a year ago. The fear for consumers then was the threat we would be seeing $3/gallon gasoline. Right now you will see more gas station signs with just at or over $4/gallon. The reasons we have seen this increase in just a year are obvious. [...]

UPDATE: As promised, my guy Howie @ CW talked by phone with Austin Stukins (the former Marine in one of the videos below) and you can read about it here: LSU Students Say Not On MY Watch
Austin Stukins will now be a contributor to Chandler's Watch, and from what I hear, The Hayride down in [...]

Opinion from Israel on events in the Middle East from my friend Alexander Maistrovoy, a Israeli journalist:
Russia is probably not a friend of Israel, but much less dangerous than the West
"Another Tack: Kremlin or Canossa?" is the name of Sarah Honig's article in Jerusalem Post about Binyamin Netanyahu’s visit to Moscow. I agree with Sarah [...]

Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) ... Remember her? She's also a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of the most liberal Democrats in the House, who have drafted a poison pill called the "People's Budget". (Anything that starts with "The People's ..." usually doesn't end up well for the people.)

These people are not [...]

Darn! What a bummer. The socialist paradise on the Caribbean is being sucked into a 52 year – wide black hole of its own creation and some self centered “reporter” by the name of Portia Siegelbaum, who must have graduated from the Anita Snow School of communist propaganda regurgitation, is so bummed she felt compelled [...]

Right now three of my Marines are deployed ... One in Afghanistan, and the other two had their deployments bumped up by weeks/months to deploy to US Navy ships floating off the coast of Libya. All three left wives and children and bills behind. With all the damn crap about unions' rights and collective bargaining [...]

Not sure how Obama and his re-election machine will be able to clean up the creeping mess. Exactly what can he run his ads on? "The GOP wouldn't help me to help you"? Not going to fly. The democrats had both Houses of Congress and the White House for two years. What they managed to [...]

Wow! So much has transpired since Tunisia and Egypt tossed out their nasty dictators, huh? Yemen is on the brink of ousting their leadership (and somebody that has been a strong ally to us in the hunt for terrorists) once again upon the demands of the Obama administration. Jordan and Saudi Arabia are literally tip-toeing [...]

I want to say "unbelievable", but it's really not ...
WASHINGTON — Members of the NATO alliance have sternly warned the rebels in Libya not to attack civilians as they push against the government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, according to senior military and government officials.

As this junk science evolves into junk politics, and junk governing into a Western socialist dictatorship over the world's population it must be said we have inflicted a pox upon ourselves by allowing an unchallenged voice to this cult of global warming hoax.
George Orwell said, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual [...]

It's exciting as hell. Literally.
As Jewish American Alan Gross remains in a Cuban jail, held hostage by the Castro regime, Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) gave a presentation on Sunday about how Cuba is “an exciting country” to visit and that all remaining restrictions on travel to Cuba should be lifted.
“Sharing a glimpse [...]

Obama: Say! Hey! Know what's a good idea? Let's have military tribunals in Gitmo for the terrorists, huh? Is that a great idea or what?
The fact is, the military trials that were in progress in Guantanamo Bay (some nearing conclusion) were either put on hold indefinitely or tossed out, including that of KSM and the [...]

I really like Robert's post below. His perspective is something I pretty much hold about the "rank and file" of the union memberships. My neighbor guy is retired, but an AFL-CIO, my bad, UAW union guy. He would never do the ugly things we have been hearing and seeing coming out of Madison, WI. in [...]

Here's a fine example of an overpaid, under-brained union goon caught on tape at yesterday's Madison, WI Labor Union protest.
