Where Constitutional Truth & Spirit Unite
Hillarious . . . Yet sad at the same time because of the destruction this administration is imposing on our economy and the future of our children and grandchildren.

For some reason this isn’t sitting too well with my gut:

Brian Beutler of TPM may be enamoured by the tactics Waxman took to make sure his “C-r-ap N’ Ty-rade” bill would be heading our way in a few short days:
Faced with the possibility that the GOP minority might require the committee’s clerks to read aloud the 900-page Waxman-Markey climate change bill, or many of its 400-plus proposed amendments, the committee’s chairman, Henry Waxman (D-CA), hired a speed reader. An quick tongued, acting-clerk, if you will.
The quick tongued clerk soon had the RINO’s running back to their prehistoric caves whence they came, once again conceding to political theatrical blackmail:
Mary Katharine Ham of TWS gives a true constitutional perspective as to the trouble the Republican party is in for the next couple of years while the halls of Congress are thick with these spineless creatures who claim to represent us:
Democrats Cleverly Thwart ‘Nefarious’ Republican Scheme to Have Congress Read Cap-and-Trade Bill With Speed Reading Clerk
Heaven forfend! Who would want to make the committee, which is supposed to understand the bill, actually listen to the contents of all 900 pages of it?
Even if the reading of the bill is a partisan “stall tactic” on the part of the Republicans, intellectually honest folks who want government to function responsibly would have to admit it’s a pretty benign one—beneficial, even. The brouhaha over reading the bill is an implicit, disturbing admission that—yes!— your Congress will enact a 900-page bill heavily regulating the fundamental engine of the American economy and your life in unprecedented ways without ever having read it. Feel good about that?
Beyond TPM’s take, which is predictable from a left-leaning site, the laughter inside the hearing room from lawmakers themselves is illustrative of the darkly comic state of legislative affairs on the Hill. Just remember: This is only the attempted reading of one tiny amendment by a speed-reading clerk, no less, and the reaction in the chamber is, “Ho, ho, ho, imagine if we were actually serious about this! It’s ludicrous! The language is mystifying, the prose impenetrable. It’d be absolutely excruciating to read all of those words together, in a row. Someone once told me that’s what my monocle was for, but I absolutely refuse to believe it. Now, Alfred, collect my topcoat and cigars, and let’s head to the club for a brandy before someone else tries to burden us with the stewardship of the taxpayers’ money. Read the bill. Perish the thought!”
So, while this was going on today, I was calling DC and making my opinion be heard. Have you made that call lately?
1-202-225-2801 ~ Herseth-Sandlin’s DC office
I also received 3 letters today, 2 from Johnson and 1 from Thune. I’ll be working on an article on their contents over the weekend. I have to say that Johnson, or should I say his staff, is so well versed in using talking points vs actually answering the question that . . .
I am thinking of coming up with some kind of “SHAM-A-WARD” for their office. They are sooo deserving of it.

Obama Rallies Far Left Human Rights Groups Before Security Speech
In a sane world the president might meet with military or intelligence officials before a major speech on national security.But,Dear Leader Obama chose instead to meet with Far Left sham human rights groups (You know, the ones who somehow manage to blame America for every tragedy in the world while ignoring real human rights abuses) before his major post-Cheney national security speech today in Washington DC.
Greg Sargent reported that all three cable news outlets will carry Cheney’s speech tomorrow morning live directly after Dear Leader makes his speech.
The Huffington Post reported:
Under heavy criticism for a series of decisions on national security that resembled, for some, those of the Bush years, President Barack Obama hosted a lengthy meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of several key human rights and civil liberties groups.
Addressed were the topics that promise to be front and center during the President’s major foreign policy speech scheduled for Thursday.
According to an attendee, Obama expressed frustration with Congress’ decision to remove funding for the closure of the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. The president declared that his hands were tied in some ways regarding the use of reformed military tribunals, though he pledged to try as many detainees as possible in Article III federal courts.
Speaking to human rights officials on Wednesday, the president also left the door open for the future release of detainee abuse photos, saying that his administration’s current opposition to the release was dictated by immediate concern over the complications it could cause to America’s mission in Afghanistan.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Massimino detailed what she described as a “lively and detailed and serious” discussion on some of the days most vexing national security issues. Over the course of roughly an hour and fifteen minutes, Obama, along with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Attorney General Eric Holder, advisers Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, foreign policy hand Dennis McDonough, and counter-terrorism chief John Brennan, held court with a group of academics, as well as officials with the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and the Center for Constitutional Rights.
Taking a few days to do some spring cleaning and planting, so in the meantime…

Makes ya wonder doesn’t it? Old Ronnie and Goldwater knew exactly what was in store back during the presidential campaign of 1964.
Spring was short this year. We have gone from snow just a few weeks ago to near 90 degree weather and with that comes the yearly buzzing of the . . .
“June Bug“.
Now while they are really harmless creatures who come out of their underground world for such a short period of time, their constant buzzing and diving at you while out in public is totally annoying. Especially when you have been cooped up for a rather long winter and have been anticipating that 1st warm evening to just sit outdoors and enjoy the fresh country air on the log swing.
The June Bug’s seemingly lack of direction and ability to control its flight reminds me of many of the current elected officials in DC.
Soon these harmless pests tire and are back to crawling for cover, leaving the sidewalk or the drive a mess for you to sweep up.
If only it was that easy with a politician.
If only all we had to do was go to DC and sweep up the mess so a new swarm of would be fliers could come out the next day.
A new swarm of elected officials with better direction and the right kind of wings to take flight and soar while bringing the country back in the direction of Constitutionality.
