It's Official: Tim Kaine For Senate

The man who presided over the largest political bloodbath (blah, blah, blah, new tone blah, blah) in Congress is now the chosen boy to run for Senate in Virginia.

Remember, this logo was Tim Kaine's most significant contribution to the Democrat Party while he was the head of it.

Think the religions symmetry is a bit much? Check out this video from the '08 election then ask yourself that again.

Solidarity

Obviously it carries a different meaning for union bosses than it does for union members.

One Thing About The Republican Race For Senate. . .

It looks like it can get very nasty fast.

. . . I was shocked to learn when sources told me (which I was able to confirm yesterday) that Jamie Radtke has hired Jon and his company CRAFT Media to take on her primary challenge to George Allen.

This is a big move for Radtke who will now have every possible piece of dirt against Allen at her disposal.

I know this is almost a month old. Trying to clear out a few older-- but still relevant-- bookmarks.

Video: The Tea Party vs. John Boehner

From Insty-Glenn.

I don't remember who said this originally but all politics are local. Sure, it might not be as sexy sounding as going to Washington DC for a rally or two but it does help serve it's purpose by making sure that a politician knows his base, donors and voters are keeping watch.

The Tea Party held a rally outside the Capitol Building today to demand that congressional Republicans demand significant cuts in federal spending. The outlook is bad. House Republicans are fighting to hold on to the $61 billion in spending cuts they approved in February, a mere rounding error in a budget totaling about $3.8 trillion.

Today's rally shows how the Tea Party has continued the fight to make itself heard in Washington. But in Ohio there's a new focus: local politics.

Rep. Jim McDermott Explains How ObamaCare Will Ultimately Be Controlled By The Government

This. This is what people meant when they said the Government Takeover of Health Care in protests and on signs for the last two years.

McDermott wants only a little control over cost.

Video: Bill Whittle Lays Out How Far A Billion Will Go With Today's Government Spending It

A liberal (and clueless, but I repeat myself) buddy of mine keeps saying that the US needs to, "Soak the rich." Bill Whittle demonstrates just how far the money from the rich. Turns out, not very far.

Content warning: There is a small, archived clip of Micheal Moore speaking in a quivering voice.

The Obama AdministrationTells The Best Aprils Fool's Joke Ever

Except that USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah didn't say, "April Fools" at the end of his statement.

"We estimate, and I believe these are very conservative estimates, that H.R. 1 would lead to 70,000 kids dying," USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah testified before the House Appropriations State and Foreign Ops subcommittee.

Wait. This was from yesterday. The guy was serious about that?

Update: Linky love from Smitty at The Other McCain's place.
