Cash for Clunkers might not have been as bad as all that. Apparently nearly 90% of all of the 542,000 buyers were hesitant if not unwilling to buy a car without the governmental incentive, and did a better then expected job at targeting habitual used car owners. In other good news that people will still be upset to hear, President Obamas [...]
Alternate Health Care Plans
Via The Onion. In response to President Obama's call for compromise, several lawmakers have concocted their own health care reform bills. Here are some provisions of the top contenders: * Hoyer-Larson Bill: All 45 million uninsured Americans would be guaranteed medical care, all of it provided by Dr. Tom Janicak of Houston, TX * [...]
Stupak is Holding Strong
"If I didn’t" cave in November, "why would I do it now after all the crap I’ve been through?" This from an interview with John McCormach at The Weekly Standard. (H/T The Corner)
The wages of bad policy
In my inbox this morning: Dear Colorado-based Amazon Associate:We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program to inform you that the Colorado government recently enacted a law to impose sales tax regulations on online retailers. The regulations are burdensome and no other state has similar rules. The new regulations do not require online [...]
Update on Hawaii’s Segregationist Bill
First, a brief reminder from yesterdays Daily Right: *Aloha Segregation, at NRO. “A bill expected to pass the House today with overwhelming Democratic support would accomplish something peculiar for a liberal republic in the 21st century: It would partly disenfranchise a portion of one state’s residents, create a parallel government for [...]
ObamaCare 2.0 (UPDATED)
This one goes to 11. *A Man With a Plan, by Jeffrey H. Anderson. “So disconnected from political currents does the President seem, one wonders whether this same plan (with a new wrinkle or two) will also be re-released -- and presented as brand-new -- in the wake of the November elections.” RELATED: Outlook No Brighter for Obama’s [...]

*ObamaCare: Socialism by any other name, by Matt Patterson. “A Bolshevik is an early 20th century Russian revolutionary; a plot is a plan hatched in secret. Obama is not the former and has not engaged in the latter. However, the President and his allies have openly strived to socialize significant aspects of American society through health [...]
BREAKING: Evan Bayh to retire
One more Dem exiting before the storm: "After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but me desire to do so by serving in Congress has waned." Blood in the water my friends, blood in the water.
Daily Right 2/2/10: Budget Edition
*An Obama-Sized Budget, at NRO. “Between 1789 and 2008, the U.S. government borrowed a total of $5.8 trillion. But in just the first three years of the Obama administration, the government is set borrow $4.4 trillion more.” Ego-Sized, certainly. RELATED: $1 Trillion Obama Will Never See, by William A. Jacobson. “Obama is raising [...]
President Obama’s State of the Union Address
Here, in it's entirety.
Daily Right 1/27/10
*As Predictable as Clockwork: The Obama Three-step, by Victor Davis Hanson. “Instead, we’ve come full circle from the idealistic-sounding, centrist candidate Obama, to the Carter-McGovern President Obama, back to the wannabe Clinton triangulator. The only constant — no real identity, no firm belief, no core convictions from which to make [...]
Daily Right 1/21/10
*The New York Times on the Brown victory: “To our minds, it is not remotely a verdict on Mr. Obama’s presidency, nor does it amount to a national referendum on health care reform — even though it has upended the effort to pass a reform bill, which Mr. Obama made the centerpiece of his first year.” Emphasis mine. Gentlemen, even [...]
Down the Line; The Democrats and Shifting Blame
As we all know by now, Scott Brown has won the special election in Massachusetts (just so we all know, I spelled that right without the need of spell check). Depending on who you trust in the media, this was a referendum on President Obama, a rally of the Tea Party movement, independents being fed up with the left, or the people of the state [...]
Victory
Congratulations to Senator Brown.
Daily Left 1-19-10
As I write this, it's just about six p.m., mountain time, and there is still no winner in Massachusetts. I'll be checking throughout the night for a winner, should she emerge. Well, shit. Best of luck to the new senator. More polls say that Obama remains likable, but unpopular. I read one of these most days, and I'm beginning to wonder [...]
Brown vs. Coakley
For what it's worth, I'm calling Brown by 4 points. Others, less optimistic, have called ACORN by 5. And given the integrity of our opponents here, that is a distinct possibility.

First and foremost, happy Martin Luther King Jr. day. I think it's hard for people my age to really think about life before his work, but reminding us how much America can change for the better never seems like a bad idea in my mind. Scott Brown calls the president a bastard! Literally. On national television. Link below. Scott Brown on [...]

*“Let me be perfectly not clear,” and “Make lot’s of mistakes about it.” By Victor Davis Hanson. “…the American people are losing confidence in Team Obama because quite simply they are tiring of being lied to, and treated like children in need of Ivy-League Platonic guardians.” *Too Much Bank, by Amity Shales. *Pentagon [...]

*President Obama’s Fall, by Charles Krauthammer. “The health-care drive is the most important reason Obama has sunk to 46 percent. But this reflects something larger. In the end, what matters is not the persona but the agenda. In a country where politics is fought between the 40-yard lines, Obama has insisted on pushing hard for the 30. And [...]
Happy Birthday and Mega Dittoes
Quantum Conservative would like to wish a happy birthday to Rush Limbaugh. May you continue to drive liberals, progressives, and those with no sense of humor (but I repeat myself) crazy for another 59 years, sir. To your very good health.

The GOP want a Massachusetts seat, and it'll take a lot of money. I wonder if pushing the new "cock block health care" plan will take as much out of state money as "make sure gays don't have equal rights" talking point. Now that cloves are banned, and menthols may be on the bullseye, what's a smoker to do? Go smokeless. Looks like the crafty [...]
Daily Right 1/8/10
*The Gitmo Obsession, by Charles Krauthammer. “Ayman al-Zawahiri often invokes Andalusia in his speeches. For those not steeped in the multivolume lexicon of Islamist grievances, Andalusia refers to Iberia, lost by Islam to Christendom — in 1492.” I’m sure Obama could still find a way to blame Bush.

Obama on the attempted Christmas bombing- "The buck stops with me." Gay Marriage fails in New Jersey, by a vote of 20-14. Former New York mayor Ed Koch on the rest of the world? "Of course the vast majority of Muslims, there are 400 million, are not terrorists. But there are hundreds of millions who are. They want to kill every [...]

*Good news on the home front: Colorado Governor Ritter will not run for re-election. Neither will Democrat Senators Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan. Running scared already, maybe 2010 will be a good year. RELATED: Democrats Flee the Battlefield, by Jennifer Rubin. *Nancy Pelosi, speaking of the ObamaCare debacle, claims that “There has [...]

The much lauded Obama-anti-terrorism sit down yields literally nothing but a big "oops?", as President Obama makes as general a claim as possible, saying "We have to do better, and we will do better and we have to do it quickly." The way the press hyped this conversation almost makes me laugh, but here I am, writing about it now. Maybe we [...]

President Obama names an openly transgendered adviser to the Commerce Department. Howard Dean is back on the warpath, with Obama in his cross hairs. Great. Wasn't he supposed to be leading the party towards a 50 states plan? Infighting won't help. Ugandas new bill to execute gays and imprison their supporters was ideologically founded by [...]

I will be on "Getting It Right, With Rick Wagner,” on 1100AM KNZZ, at 1:30 on Saturday, but I encourage you to listen to the whole show. You can listen to it live here. We should have the first radio spot available for download within the week.

Daily Left Christmas-ish edition
First and foremost, merry Christmas, QC readers. Enjoy, or else. So, that said, we all know it's been a bust week. I'll end on what you're expecting me to start with, and sneak in some stories no one seems to be covering, because I want to eat up your holiday. It's a Christmas miracle! Michele Bachmann is a Welfare queen! Bachmann, [...]
