The Video Hillary Clinton DOESN’T Want You To See

Hillary Clinton as a Wal-Mart corporate lawyer…

(I swear, that one outfit she is wearing around the 2 min. mark back in the early ’90s makes her look like Kirsty Alley’s character of Rebecca on “Cheers.”)

Will the Fed Reserve and “Stimulus” Rebate Checks Lead Us INTO Recession?

Steve Forbes takes to task the Federal Reserve for what they have done and what they will undoubtedly yet do…
One can never say it enough: The only monetary measure you need look at is the price of gold. The yellow metal is constant in true value, a monetary version of the fixed North Star. The [...]

This Is Not Your Father’s Republican Party

 
Arnold endorses McCain and with that can probably be officially defined as the front runner for the Republican nomination.

Randy Marcus Is A Wimp

 . . .so says his boss!  I’m just returning from Lt. Governor Bill Bolling’s Bloggers Day In Richmond.  While Randy put together a great day he was unable to attend because of an illness he picked up from the very same boss who calls him a wimp for calling in sick.  All in good fun!
 The [...]

Jim Webb Talked A Lot In His First Year

Sen. Thinskin Gump (D-WashPo) has issued his “2007 Year in Review” email.  Apparently, he was a lot of talk, little action and not much in the way of results.

Sen. Barker and Del. Nichols — You’re Welcome Over Here…

From the Potomac News:
A special Senate subcommittee on immigration killed two bills that Prince William County officials would have used to further their efforts to deny county services to illegal immigrants.
In order prevent undocumented immigrants from applying for certain tax relief, county officials needed special authority from the General Assembly.
And they’re not going to get [...]

Shut up, Alan

Normally, I’m a big advocate of free speech, even that speech with which I disagree.  (There’s something about giving people enough rope to hang themselves with — let them expose themselves and their ideas for what they really are.)  That said, Alan “Mr. Irrational Exuberance” Greenspan just needs to shut his mouth.
So much of macro [...]

US Senator Joe Lieberman (Independent Dem-CT) is aggressively campaigning on behalf of John McCain — but he told the AP on Tuesday he does not want to run for VP on a fusion ticket with McCain in November. “I’d tell him: ‘Thanks, John, I’ve been there. I’ve done that. You can find much better,’” [...]

Giuliani To Quit, Endorse McCain

Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani is said to be dropping out of the presidential race on Wed. and endorsing Sen. John McCain.  Let this be a lesson to future candidates that you can’t skip the early contests no matter how well-positioned you appear to be.
If McCain truly wants to reach out to supply-siders (his version [...]

McCain Wins FLA

John McCain has been declared the winner in Florida and will receive all 57 delegates at stake.
This effectively ends Rudy Giuliani’s campaign.  The only question is, when does he get out?  Now or after Super Tuesday?
This is rapidly turning into a two-man race between McCain and Mitt Romney.  I think at this point, there is [...]

Is Gerry Connolly Violating Federal Campaign Finance Law?

In today’s D.C. Examiner article about Rep. Tom Davis’s potential retirement,
[Fairfax County Chairman Gerry] Connolly has yet to confirm his candidacy but has raised $160,913, according to his campaign manager, and is expected to announce shortly.
That’s really interesting, especially since the FEC web site shows no reports from Connolly whatsoever. Not even a statement of [...]
