Goose meet gander

In the course of E.J. Dionne Jr.’s ranting about the Supreme Court’s loosening campaign finance laws for corporations, he does make one interesting point:

Certain companies would be explicitly barred from making political expenditures: domestic corporations that are under foreign control, recipients of government contracts and of Troubled Assets Relief Program money. Think about it: If a company is getting government money, why should it be able to turn around and use receipts that include that money for electioneering?

I agree 100%…as long as that exact same logic is applied to public employee unions.

I sort of missed the crazy political rants at the Oscars

Pissing off rich, pampered celebrities…probably one of the best reasons to elect us some more Republicans.

President Barack Obama appeared on America’s Most Wanted

And while the appearance is certainly an opportunity for folks on the Right to take some cheap shots, I’m waiting for someone on the Left to claim that the only way President George Bush would ever be on America’s Most Wanted would be as one of the “wanted”!
