It’s bad enough that Rep. Jon Porter (R-Nevada) voted for the $700 billion taxpayer bailout of Wall Street, but he did so like a typical Chicken Little liberal while slamming his Nevada House colleague Rep. Dean Heller and other true conservatives in the process.
“All indicators are we’re on the verge of a national, international collapse,” […]

Because the Wall Street bailout is such a big deal, here’s a double-issue of News & Views from the “right” side of the issue. But first, a few of my own drive-by Muthings…
* “The House is limiting e-mails from the public to prevent its websites from crashing due to the enormous amount of […]

The biggest problem I have with this bailout - other than the fact that it’s decidedly socialistic in nature and sets a horrible precedent for taxpayer bailouts of other industries down the road - is the rush to “do something” by President Bush and Congress.
After eight years of “compassionate conservatism” which gave us Homeland Security, […]

Rep. Wayne Gilchrist was defeated in a Republican primary earlier this year by conservative Maryland state Sen. Andy Harris. Gilchrist was one of the most liberal Republicans remaining in the House after the 2006 purge. He was bad on guns, bad on taxes, bad on spending…you name it, he was probably bad on […]

Actually, it wasn’t all that great. Same ol’, same ol’. B.O. came off as the boy in the classroom trying too hard to impress everyone with how smart he is. That kid doesn’t usually get elected class president. That kid usually gets the snot beat out of him at recess.

* The bailout is wrong. The bailout is bad.
* $700 billion is a lot of money. But that’s just the opening ante. Get used to saying “trillion.”
* Conservatives need to do the bailout what they did to the Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court.

Here’s the original story I reprinted about “Pencil Sharpener Boy” published by Island Packet on September 11, 2008…
“A 10-year-old Hilton Head Island (SC) boy has been suspended from school for having something most students carry in their supply boxes: a pencil sharpener.

Like Captain Ahab’s obsession with Moby-Dick, University Chancellor Jim Rogers continues his relentless – and increasingly personal - pursuit of Gov. Jim Gibbons over a policy disagreement. The mega-millionaire with the mega-ego has, at least in his own mind, acquired our public university system and made it his own. And like a little […]

And just as a reminder, it will take 15 “mean, lean” Republicans in the state assembly to block any tax hike schemes which come forward. We’re nowhere near that number of incumbents, and challengers with a good shot at winning, who have signed the Pledge. Among those who won’t take a firm stand […]

“Chancellor Jim Rogers, I’m told, is stepping up his assault on the budget cuts next week with letters of support from a diverse, bipartisan, biregional group of leaders from the political, gaming and business worlds,” wrote Jon Ralston in his “Flash” e-newsletter last Friday. “Some of the letter-writers include: Ex-Gov. Kenny Guinn, Ex-Gov. Bob […]
