Battlestar Galactica at United Nations

OK, I have to admit this, I am a nerd and enjoy Science Fiction.  As such I am going to use the fact that this is somewhat political in nature as an excuse to post up this clip. If you don’t watch Battlestar Galactica, this won’t mean a thing to you.

Followup on Chris Dodd and AIG

A reader yesterday was trying to suggest that Chris Dodd was innocent on the “Chris Dodd Amendment” that allowed the bonuses at AIG to go forward. After his initial denial, Chris Dodd has come out and admitted that he was the one that put the amendment in. Hopefully this video will set the record straight. Hat tip to Vulcan’s Hammer.

Cincinnati Tea Party Video

I guess I should start bringing my video camera with me to these events in addition to my regular camera. Beautiful video of this wonderful event that I found on Youtube.

Obama’s Earmark Test


It looks like President Obama is about to face a big test with the omnibus spending bill on its way to his desk. Obama made it clear that he was against earmarks in both the campaign and in his rhetoric during his presidency. The package has nearly 8000 earmarks in it (both Republican and Democrat), worth $5.5 Billion.

The question is, will Obama stand true to his anti-earmark principle and veto this bill? It isn’t difficult to take this bill and send it back to be reconstructed without earmarks. Unfortunately, the administration to this point has become expert at taking action contrary to what was promised and deflect the blame back on the previous administration.

According to an AP story, it appears that is exactly what Obama is preparing to do. White House spokesman Gibbs has already said “It represents last year’s business.” This has set the stage for Obama to not stand to his principles and use yet another instance of the blame game. At some point, the new administration is going to have to make a stand that they aren’t afraid to take responsibility for.
