REPUBLICANS HAVE WRITTEN A “PLEDGE TO AMERICA” calling for tax cuts, a reduction in government spending and a repeal of the new health care law, among other initiatives.

The 21-page Pledge to America is here.

ANOTHER ENTITLED ESTABLISHMENTARIAN SNIT? Castle Leaves Open Door to Write-In Bid for Senate.

MAINE? TEA PARTY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR UP 18 POINTS. “It's one of the last bastions of New England, Country-club Republicanism. It hasn’t voted for a Republican president since 1988, and now the state has Tea Party fever.

DO YOU HAVE TO BE A CONSPIRACY THEORIST to wonder if Tuesday's 'town hall' was staged? Certainly it's less of a stretch than the Apollo moon landing conspiracy theories.

THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA “reveals itself, not as the people’s watchdog against irresponsible government, but as the irresponsible government’s guard dog against the people.”

Yes.

HOW I KNOW that government - local, state, and federal - is too damn big: the Prince William County Library has a Sunday session on “theraputic drumming.”

ANOTHER SCARY ECONOMIC FACT:

The universe is about 13.7 billion years old.

And in Obama’s first 2 years, he and the Democrat-controlled Congress have run up federal deficits of $1.4 trillion and $1.3 trillion (projected), respectively.

The connection? In just 2 years, Obama and the Democrats have OVERSPENT the equivalent of $200.00 a year for every year since the Beginning of Time.

YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING: Disorderly conduct? Are stupidity pills automatically prescribed for college administrators?

OBAMACARE: Buy a coin and file a 1099 form.

IF YOU WONDER why so many American voters are angry, and no longer give Obama the benefit of the doubt on a variety of issues, you need look no further than Obamacare.

REARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC: Ann Althouse comments.

“RECYCLING MAKES MANY PEOPLE FEEL GOOD, but feelings are not the best test of environmental soundness. When it makes more sense to recycle than to throw something away; government compulsion isn't needed. And when recycling is a profligate use of natural and human resources, government mandates can't change the fact. Big Brother can force you to recycle your garbage, but that doesn't make garbage-recycling green.”

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION is the best argument around for increased regulation.

I’d rather have smaller government, but if I can’t have that I’ll settle for vastly increased regulation of government. Not government regulation, regulation of government.

THE FUTURE OF WARFARE: bugbots.

For those with a science fiction bent, this idea was written about by Ron Goulart, “The Hellhound Project”, originally published in Analog Science Fiction Science Fact (December 1973).

FOR YEARS, conservatives have plaintively remarked, “if only we had another Reagan . . . .”

We do. Many. They’re called the Tea Party.

HOME DEPOT FOUNDER apologizes for creating jobs: “On CNBC, the founder of Home Depot blasted Barack Obama and his administration as a collection of tenured dilettantes who have never had to meet a payroll in their lives.” The video clips are here.

SO MAYBE PIGS CAN FLY. Barney Frank in trouble?

"The Sean Bielat campaign has declared themselves within reach of unseating Barney Frank in Massachusetts’ 4th CD, one of the presumed safest districts for Democrats in the nation."

SORE LOSERS’ EPITAPH: “Entitlement reform has become a leading issue in this year's Republican primaries. I don't mean the kind of entitlement reform associated with Medicare or Social Security. I'm referring to the Republican Party's establishment figures and their exaggerated sense of political entitlement.”

HOUSE DEMOCRAT LEADERS insulated from national mood. Unfortunately it seems to be true for all the “Establishmentarians”, Democratic and Republican, in Congress.

WHEN ONE PARTY controls the House, Senate, and White House, it begins to run out of people to blame for its problems. And voters notice.
