 | On the Climate Bill and the Worthless Congress· Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, Jul 1, 2009, 9:13 PM · 333 words · 2 comments I’m no fan of Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) - in fact, I typically can’t stand the sound of his voice. But I applaud him for taking an hour to try to call attention to the way Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) Climate Bill (H.R.2454) was recently ramrodded through the House without anyone reading it. |
| omgwtfbbq #dontgo · Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008, 9:55 PM · 311 words · 1 comment · Virginia blogger Scott White has been spamming the Virginia blogosphere with breathless posts about the Twitter thread #dontgo for the last several days. It's being called a "movement," a "turning point," a "revolution," an "online orgy of oil drilling bliss" (okay, I made that one up). |
| Nancy Pelosi Talking To Syria?? [updated] · Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, Apr 4, 2007, 12:08 PM · 185 words · 3 comments · I've tried to give Nancy Pelosi the benefit of the doubt, since she's the first woman speaker and all. I didn't make much of a fuss over that Big Tuna incident where she allegedly exempted one of her constituents from having to pay the federal minimum wage. I didn't say anything about her demanding a huge, expensive, gas-guzzling military jet for her and her entourage to fly around the country in. I've remained silent about her obsessive blinking condition. |
| Followup On Nancy Pelosi In Syria [updated]· Krehbiel Commentary · · Tuesday, Apr 10, 2007, 4:02 PM · 202 words I wanted to follow up real quick on Nancy Pelosi's trip to Syria. I took Alice's advice and read a little bit from Media Matters on this subject and did indeed find that Republicans and talk radio/talk blogs were (imo) blowing things way out of proportion. They probably still would be if it weren't for the Don Imus "controversy." |
| So That's What Christmas Is· Krehbiel Commentary · · Monday, Dec 17, 2007, 6:03 PM · 357 words I see that there is much outrage amongst Republican bloggers over 9 Democrats voting no on H. Res. 847, a bill recognizing Christmas as an important holiday to Christians. |
| The Larry Craig Irony · Krehbiel Commentary · · Friday, Aug 31, 2007, 11:03 PM · 166 words · 1 comment · Life is filled with irony. It is rather ironic that mere days after the untimely death of Richard Jewell, a man whose reputation was destroyed by the collective incompetence of the media after the Atlanta Olympics bombing in 1996 -- a man whose untimely death was recently reported widely by the media almost as if they were trying to seek atonement for their previous misdeed -- we now see Sen. Larry Craig's reputation and career being destroyed by the exact same media. |
| Fat Cats Responsible [updated]· · Tuesday, Jan 17, 2006, 11:40 AM · 373 words I'm trying out a new feed reader today called Omea Reader. I haven't made up my mind yet, but one thing I like is that you can "bookmark" (note obvious anti-Microsoft terminology) news web pages that haven't made it into the RSS world yet. I can't stand opening up a browser and slogging through a menu of 1000 favorites to find news, so this is a nifty feature for my lazy buttocks. All the non-RSS news sites are in a handy list, and it will even check them and tell you when they've been updated, and you can view them right in the preview pane. |
| Partisan Bickering Stinks · Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, May 2, 2007, 4:57 PM · 158 words · 1 comment · I don't know about anyone else, but I'm weary of all the partisan games over the Iraq "war" funding bill. Both Republican and Democratic legislators alike are acting thoroughly childish, imho. |
| Hard-Hitting SOTU 2007 Observations · Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, Jan 24, 2007, 9:36 AM · 258 words · Here are some hard-hitting SOTU observations you won't find anywhere else! (Mrs. Krehbiel also contributed to this list, though she probably doesn't realize she was doing so.) |
| Nancy Pelosi and Big Tuna? · Krehbiel Commentary · · Tuesday, Jan 16, 2007, 10:58 AM · 541 words · I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually saw something interesting on RightsideVA (one of the SWAC blogs) over the weekend: Congress starting to smell "Fishy" already... I'm surprised this issue isn't getting more attention, but I guess "the surge" is eclipsing everything else right now. Not to mention the new season of 24. |
