Tim Huelskamp (FarRightR-Brownbackistan01) has been in the news lately for standing up to John Boehner (NotQuiteSoFarRightR). Last month, Boehner kicked Huelskamp off the House Agriculture committee, leaving Kansas without a member of that committee for the first time in 150 years. Note, please, that Huelskamp prides himself on being a farmer first, and Huelskamp’s most favorite map (his vast congressional district) is packed with farms, so this hurts him not just in his ego, but in his ability to deliver for his constituents.

Given another map that’s making the rounds these days, that ought to make his constituents, very nervous, if not very angry.

It’s not the $60 billion that passed last session, but we are getting closer.

John Boehner’s office says funding defense of discrimination is necessary to “to protect our system of checks and balances” — to the tune of $1.7 million dollars pickpocketed from the taxpayers during touch economic times.

Two more years of tears.

Is Speaker Boehner in trouble?

I guess I feel for his liver.

In a press conference today New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie slammed Speaker Boehner for failing to allow a vote on Hurricane Sandy Relief.

After issuing a joint press release with Governor Cuomo of New York, Christie went on the offensive against Boehner and the House Republicans.

The AP and other outlets were reporting that Eric Cantor would not support the Senate bill, but since then Cantor spokesman Doug Heye tweeted that “Majority Leader Cantor stands with @SpeakerBoehner. Speculation otherwise is silly, non-productive and untrue.”

We are roughly 16 hours from the fiscal cliff deadline Washington time and it seems the Obama Administration may have played its final card regarding the Senate negotiations, Vice President Biden:

“It’s all about Benghazi!”
