Maybe they could call it the Ted Kennedy Memorial Wind Farm.

You youngsters probably don’t remember this, but in the 70’s and 80’s the courts and politicians imposed “busing” on some school districts, so that instead of kids going to their neighborhood school, they would be bused to a bad school on the other side of the city.
That kind of busing faded away when anybody with [...]

A Ted Kennedy mourner:
“I said to myself this morning, ‘No matter what the weather, I’m going, I don’t care if I have to swim.”
Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.

Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman on deficits: Bush’s $500 billion 1-year deficit “biggest budget deficit in the history of the world,” “comparable to the worst we’ve ever seen in this country,” “bigge[r] than Argentina in 2001,” “irresponsible and dishonest”; Obama’s $9 trillion 10-year deficits “saved the world” and “we should be doing more, not less”!

Rep. David Obey (D-WI), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee:
“I don’t expect to see this bill actually concluded until December.”

‘Cruel and neglectful’ care of one million NHS patients exposed:

We’ve already noted that at least 64 House liberals have committed to voting No on ObamaCare unless it contains a public option.
So the only way ObamaCare becomes law is if the public option gets 60 votes in the Senate (it can’t be passed under the 50-vote “reconciliation” procedure.)
So are there 60 senators who will vote [...]

Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) is tied with three unknown challengers.

Someone has to do the ghoulish job of analyzing the political fallout from Ted Kennedy’s death. So here are some possibilities, in no particular order:
* Kennedy’s death serves as a rallying cry for Congressional Democrats to back ObamaCare and damn the consequences.
* The Democrats screw up the Kennedy funeral, like they did Paul Wellstone’s funeral, [...]

He leads Harry Reid by 11 points in the latest Mason-Dixon poll! Donate to Tarkanian, and send Reid back to Nevada.

Remember the Club for Growth, the organization that has helped replace numerous RINOs with genuine conservatives in the House and Senate? Well, they’re now targeting Senator Bob Bennett (R-UT) in the GOP primary.
Now ordinarily I’d call this insanity. Bennett is one of those quiet senators who votes as a solid conservative. So why would the [...]

Ultra-liberal Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI), on ObamaCare:
