" The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate ." That's not a quote from National Review, the Weekly Standard, NewsMax, or World Net Daily. Such was the opening paragraph of a truly ...

Obama/Pelosi Care Passes House 220-215
—
Update: It was closer than I thought: 220-215, 39 Dems voting no and a solitary Republican -- Joe Cao, who replaced "Dollar Bill" Jefferson in a blue district in Louisiana -- voting yes. Take heart, righties: Reid is incompetent, which makes the likelihood of 60 votes in the Senate, especially after a vote this narrow, very slim indeed.

On Saturday’s Huckabee show on FNC, host Mike Huckabee interviewed former Planned Parenthood executive director Abby Johnson, who famously became a pro-life activist after witnessing an ultrasound of an abortion while she assisted in a procedure at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas.

Here’s a tech note, also known as an open thread, as I delve into the wealth of new goodies in PHP 5. At some point after installing our new server last year, our gracious, kind, and all-powerful web hosting company upgraded our version of PHP from version 4 to version 5 — but somehow I missed the memo. Imagine my shock to check out ...
This video proves that DNC Chairman Tim Kaine didn’t help Democrats by appearing on This Week With George Stephanopoulos: Stephanopoulos: Alot of Republicans I’ve talked with say that this will be a Pyrrhic victory for the Democrats, that what you have here is $400,000,000,000 in tax hikes, $400,000,000,000 in Medicare cuts and that&# ...
Interesting list. If we see an overall 8-9 point swing towards the "R" column in November 2010 (entirely possible given last week's results) at least 23 of the 28 Donks on your list will be looking for new work after Election Day.

If you believe Rush Limbaugh, she's a "liberal woman." Columnist Michelle Malkin called her a "radical leftist." There's "nothing Republican" about her, according to the New York Post editorial board.

You may remember my rant here about Costco’s sudden discontinuance of their excellent Kirkland in-house brand of canned beef. It was easily a fraction of the price of other canned beef products available on the market, as I found out to my dismay when I went to restock our survival/earthquake stored food. We’ve eaten all that we had ...

I’ve never been one to say nice things about Led Zepplin. Yeah, I can be a blasphemer on the topic of Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham. I’ve never bought any of the albums, and am widely known to turn the station if they pop up via the FM radio. It’s mostly Robert Plant’s voice that does it for me. I’ve stated multiple ...

Kim is of my best friends in dog sport, and owns one of my Mini Schnauzers. When I learned earlier today that she'd been on the scene at Fort Hood, I asked if she'd be willing to write about the experience. In her own words.... I was notified by dispatch that there were several shots fired and potentially several victims. The scene was not safe ...
