We're supposedly facing a huge deadline this Friday. Either Congress is going to get the government funded for the rest of the year, or it is going to get shut down. Many are decrying that it would be catastrophic, if they let this happen. So, our president would be sure to stay home and make sure that this is done. Right? Er....wrong:A fiery President Obama insisted Tuesday that if he and

Looks like the Republicans in the House have walked back their controversial verbiage in the HR3 bill that would defund Planned Parenthood any any other organization that performs abortions. Many have argued that they were "redefining rape" by only including "forcible" rape in the list of exemptions:"The word 'forcible' will be replaced with the original language from the Hyde Amendment," a

A local children's theatre in Missoula, Montana took too much poetic license, when they presented their own rendition of the book "The Mikado".

Today was a sad day. Conservative, Blue Dog Democrat Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords (AZ) was shot "point blank" in the head. Thank God because she went through surgery and is expected to pull through.Of course, the far left bloggers quickly pounced on this to blame Sarah Palin for it because of a “hit list” that she posted on her website.

Color me surprised. Just about every Democrat, lefty blog and media outlet was touting the report from the CBO, which said that repealing ObamaCare would raise the deficit $230 Billion. Of course, they failed to mention how they came up with that number. To further clarify their findings, the CBO followed up the previous report with one that goes into more detail on how they reached that number.

I was really debating whether or not I should cover this for two reasons. One, I usually stay away from stories involving how liberal the media is, unless it is especially egregious, because it, frankly, gives me tired head, and I’d feel like banging my head against the wall 24/7. Secondly, most people don’t know who Ezra Klein is and even less care. However, it is one of the slowest news weeks

New York City and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have enough to deal with just cleaning up the blizzard, in the first place.
