- This is all going to end so well.
- Haley’s a racist, he just says nice things about racists.
- Elitists don’t really care about DADT–they just hate the military.
- START not finished?
- The end of the Internets as we know it?

As we enter the busiest travel season of the year, there is no question that the TSA will be stepping up security measures across the country — including the use of the infamous ‘porno scanners’ and ‘enhanced’ patdowns.

| By: Jon Walker Monday December 20, 2010 6:30 pm |
Either Sen. Mitch McConnell is a dramatically better negotiator than President Obama or Obama lied about not wanting to extend the tax cuts for the wealthy. McConnell’s superior skills of negotiation appear even more impressive given that he only controls a small minority in the Senate.

The health care bill has to be funded, and with a continuing resolution, that’s not possible. And it’s even worse for the financial reform bill. The SEC and CFTC in particular need to hire a lot more regulators to carry out the promise of Dodd-Frank, but that can’t happen in the short term, and probably not over the long term, either.
