Lockdown
The Democrats accused the Republicans of murdering women and children. The president scolded everyone and called for grownups. Meanwhile Paul Ryan slipped through the back door with a plan to rein in entitlements with $6 trillion in cuts through 2021.
Poetic Justice
Looks like Congress is going to have to balance the budget one Cowboy Poetry Festival at a time. That’s where Harry Reid has drawn his budget cut line in the sand.
Or as Mark Steyn put it,
Once upon a time, the cowboy embodied the rugged individualism of the frontier. In Harry Reid’s world, he embodies dependency without end.

Harry Reid Ruined My Day
The senate tried to pass a last minute, $1.2 trillion, 1,924 page spending bill last night. The bill had 6,630 earmarks totalling $8 billion. Even dead senators got earmarks – $8 Million for the Edward Kennedy institute and $10 million for the John Murtha Foundation! The Wall Street Journal called it “The 111th Congress’s Final Insult“. A cartoonist can’t ask for much more than that. Then, just as a 40 hour reading of the bill was about to begin, Harry Reid pulled the plug and spoiled all the fun. He ruined 3 days worth of cartoons. I think I’ll call my congressman.
Got this far.
