Democrats on the March
I heard about this on the radio this morning, and blogger Extreme Mortman (h/t) also caught it: Asked whether, if he were president now, he’d honor Barry Bonds in the White House, Obama said: “First of all he’s still got to hit one more. .. He hasn’t done it yet, so we’ll answer the question…
Republican Senator Mitch McConnell writes: While most of the media were busy covering the latest developments on the Iraq funding bill or the bipartisan immigration proposal, congressional Democrats on Thursday quietly passed a budget creating the framework for the largest tax increases in American history… Everyone takes a hit. Forty-five million working families with two…
Yup, they sure are changing things down there in D.C. Drudge reports: After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

Ted Kennedy (Mass.) and Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler, both of New York, plan…

And, also via Glenn, that noted conservative outlet USA Today joins in: It’s hard to say which is worse: leaders offering…

House Democratic leaders are offering billions in federal funds for lawmakers’ pet projects large and small to secure enough votes this week to pass an Iraq funding bill that would end the war next year. So far, the projects — which…
Ian Donnis at N4N: It should make for riveting television when WPRO-AM talk-show host Dan Yorke and blogger-political activist Matt Jerzyk square off on immigration on 10 News Conference at 6:30 AM this Sunday.
