These are depressing times for liberals. The President is groveling in the White House, trying hard to please the Wall Street financiers who bankrolled him in the past, but are angry now because he called them “fat cats” and passed a financial reform bill. They fought to weaken the bill, succeeded in making it pretty much [...]
Governor Rick Perry’s office called in response to my post on his jobs record last week. His spokesperson, Catherine Frazier, wanted to defend Perry’s business-luring tax credit funds, and I’ll get to that below.

Bachmann, Cain, Paul, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Romney and Santorum will attend the first Republican presidential primary debate tonight in New Hampshire. Romney goes into the debate in strong shape nationally. He’s jumped on Obama for calling dismal job numbers in May “a bump in the road to recovery”:

Steve Bannon announced Friday morning that his $1 million, two-hour cinematic opus on Sarah Palin’s political career will be distributed by AMC Theaters, the second largest theater chain in the U.S. with 5,325 screens. The Palin film will not be hitting all those screens, though, just those in 10 U.S. locales: Dallas, Denver, Oklahoma City, [...]
Republicans are always standing with things. They “stand with Israel.” The “stand with” each other. They “stand with” themselves. Sarah Palin even once said America should “stand with our North Korean allies.” Suffice it to say, they got this standing thing down.
