“No Labels” Group meets … or why I would prefer you not call me a lefty

By Jim Vicevich | December 13, 2010 |

If only this were a coalition of the left and the right working out differences. But alas, it’s just a coalition of mostly liberal politicians who used to label themselves by a political party and now would rather fly stealth. Sigh.

Q. What do tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold have in common?

A. The Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act.

Frank Luntz Vegas Focus Group – “Worst evah!”

By Jim Vicevich | December 10, 2010 |

You have to watch to believe my little hostage takers. The politically correct left stands up to defend Obama’s hostage taker comment and … well all heck breaks lose. It’s as entertaining as it is revealing. Apparently political correctness gets tossed right out the window when it comes to the One. “It was just a…

Perhaps there is a victory in the Obama Tax “Compromise”

By Jim Vicevich | December 7, 2010 |

I alluded to this at the very end of the show, so perhaps I should post on this. There was one point during the “angry” Obama announcement from last night, Obama was forced to admit that fiscal conservatives were indeed right. Raising taxes costs jobs, not just people’s income. But that’s not all.

New Jersey Dumbocrat stands up for the retirement benefits of … 5 year olds?

By Jim Vicevich | December 1, 2010 |

Correct. Well actually Neil Cavuto catches New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell in an old Democrat talking point … “We won’t balance the budget on the backs of seniors”, wherein the Congressman had a little trouble walking it back. If it weren’t so sad,it would be funny. But alas, it’s a pathetic commentary on the state…

Hillary Clinton to TSA: No, I would rather you not touch my junk, thank you. UPDATE: TSA Chief says we won’t profile

By Jim Vicevich | November 22, 2010 |

Come on. At least she’s honest. Speaking on Face the State the Secretary of Defense is asked to defend the obviously intrusive pat downs taking place at airports … defend it she did, but not without a little personal note at the end.

Federal Tax Scofflaws: One Down, Thousands to Go.

By Dave in EH | November 17, 2010 |

One down and apparently thousands to go. Charlie Rangel apparently is just the tip of the iceberg. I thought paying your taxes was patriotic?

Gov. Christie to school administrator … “Let me help you pack”

By Steve McGough | November 14, 2010 |

As school administrator contracts expire in New Jersey, employees will be subject to a salary cap. Of course, if you’re contract is about to expire and you’re making more than the proposed cap, that means a pay cut. To keep the high-paid administrators on staff at the current (or higher) salaries, school boards are suggesting…

TSA implements enhanced feel-me-up security at airports – Americans not feeling it

By Steve McGough | November 10, 2010 |

We’ve found the tipping point. I’m calling this week’s TSA news Groper-gate even as the agencies leadership continue to deny screeners are molesting anyone. It’s kind of like a pedophile claiming he or she is innocent after getting caught on video. Travelers themselves will define their own experiences thank you very much.

Can you be a fiscal conservative without being a “social” conservative? UPDATE: Poll

By Jim Vicevich | November 10, 2010 |

I understand where Senator Jim DeMint is coming from here, but honestly, does he really believe I have to believe homosexuality or cohabitation is wrong in order to see the errors of out of control spending at the Federal level? Listen and learn my little small “l” libertarians.
