Student Loans Bill
Via NRO, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Ten) goes after the attachment to the health care bill: “Up to now, 15 out of 19 million student loans were private loans, backed by the government,” Alexander says. “Now we’re going to borrow half-a-trillion from China to pay for billions in new loans. Not only will this add to […]

You’d best reconsider: Police said the customer crawled out of his car and into the drive thru window to get his fish sandwich, after slapping the McDonald’s employee in the face. “His Filet-O-Fish was taking too long at 4:30 in the morning,” said South Brunswick Police Detective Sergeant James Ryan to NBCNewYork. According to Ryan, the customer […]

The Perils of Tagging
I made the rather silly decision, in retrospect to include the tag “sex clubs” in the Hypocrisy post. Next thing I know, I have a comment asking who David Vitter is. I thought, hmm, “I wonder who this person is?” Well, I clicked on the link to her site, and it turns out, she runs […]

It features a good takedown of the English ideology on tactics, a thorough study of successes in the transfer market, and ranking […]

But this one is fun. Michael Steele needs to stop traveling with David Vitter, or at least that’s what it looks like: Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele travels in style.

Well Take That, Mike Brown
Apparently the right to vote is, indeed in the Constitution, contra legendary Emerson professor Mike Brown. According to the greatest legal mind of our time: In addition to energy production, which she called one of her favorite subjects, Palin was focused on getting people out to reverse what she called the leftist direction of the […]

One up, One Down on Boca Grande
Just checked them out for lunch. They had a new style of chicken on the sample display. Peach with a smokey barbeque sauce. Pretty good, but I don’t know if I could handle a whole burrito of it. The down? The Beef Birria burrito I did order was very, very heavy on rice. All the […]
