Delaware Tonight

People will focus on O'Donnell for obvious reasons. But I think the real story, and the point Rush and others were getting at is: The results tonight in Delaware are about Mike Castle. He had an R. after his name, but he might as well have been a Democrat. Voters want authenticity. That's why Murkowski lost. That's why Castle lost.

Tea party-backed O’Donnell wins upset in Del.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Conservative activist Christine O'Donnell has earned a stunning victory in Delaware's Republican Senate primary. O'Donnell's shocking win over longtime Congressman Mike Castle gives new energy to the tea party movement, which targeted Castle after victories by Republican tea party candidates in the Alaska and Nevada Senate primaries. With 78 percent of precincts reporting, [...]

Good News: Over 280,000 Federal Workers Owe $3.3 Billion in Back Taxes, Capitol Hill Itself Owes $9.

It has been said many times by many people that "taxes are for the little people." Tom Daschle. Turbotax Tim Geithner. Charles Rangel. Carolyn Kennedy. Nancy Killefer. Hilda Solis. The Cryptkeeper - aka Kathleen Sebelius. Our own Jennifer Granholm. All with tax problems in their backgrounds. And that is just the tip of the tip of the tip of a really big iceberg. Turns out, the problem is much larger than the above individuals in the ruling class. From Taxprof via Instapundit: Over 280,000 Federal Workers Owe $3.3 Billion in Back Taxes.

Over 280,000 federal workers and retirees owed more than $3.3 billion in back income taxes in 2009 (up from $3.0 billion in 2008 and $2.7 billion in 2007).
The cabinet departments with the largest percentages of employee/retiree tax deadbeats are:

1. Housing & Urban Development:  4.40%
2. Veterans Affairs:  4.04%
3. Education:  3.86%
4. Army:  3.69%
5. Health & Human Services:  3.58%  
6. Defense:  3.20%
7. Commerce:  3.15%
8. Air Force:  3.14%
9. State:  3.10%
10. Navy:  2.95%

Read the rest for the list of top 10 agencies and commissions and other departments and their delinquency rates. Taxprof also links to these related stories:

• The Atlantic, Why Do White House Staffers Have Trouble Paying Taxes?
• Fox News, White House Aides Owed More Than $800G in Back Taxes
• The Hill, Hill Staffers Owe More Than $9M in Taxes
• L.A. Times, 41 Obama White House Aides Owe the IRS $831,000 in Back Taxes -- and They're Not Alone
• Washington Post, Capitol Hill Employees Owed $9.3 Million in Back Taxes Last Year, Data Show

Just as disheartening is the problem on Capitol Hill itself, as reported here by Gerri Willis:

Maybe Harry Reid was correct when he claimed "our tax system is voluntary:"

You know darned well that if you or I had skipped out on our taxes we would be doing a nickel in the can. But the ruling class gets a pass. So do those that work for the ruling class.

Video: Supposedly banned George W Bush interview from 2006

Several people have posted this video on facebook today of George W Bush getting interviewed in Ireland in 2006. I can't confirm that this video is somehow "banned" from American airwaves, something both the YouTube caption and several on facebook have claimed, but do watch this video and how Bush talks about American and the war effort versus Obama's rhetoric:

Refreshing.

Irony: Harry Reid arrives at clean energy summit in fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs

Many of us "little people" say that we will take global warming seriously when those that preach it take it seriously. It's hard to listen to someone like Al Gore preach global warming when 1) he flies around in private jets that are known to emit massive amounts of carbon and 2) live in homes that consume 45 times the amount of energy of an average American household. Harry Reid is in the same way a eco-hypocrite, blasting SUVs as unnecessary gas guzzlers while driving around in fleets of them. Henry Payne caught onto Reid's hypocrisy when Reid showed up at a clean energy summit in a fleet of Chevy Suburbans, GMs largest SUVs. Even worse, he lectured the environmentalists having just stepped out of his SUV with it clearly in the background. Here's the pic that Henry posted over at The Michigan View:

"Pay no attention to the giant SUVs behind me"

Did the guys in the green hardhats not notice as they clapped like trained seals? From Henry Payne's article:

The Heartland Institute reports that while the Senate Majority Hypocrite "and other high-profile environmental activists blasted carbon-based fuels at the Reid-sponsored summit, Reid and other bigwigs were caught on film driving to and from the summit in several SUVs."

"I was absolutely astonished, not to mention appalled, that Harry Reid would retain a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs so that he and a few aides would not have to walk the mere 100 yards to address environmental activists," said Heartland Institute Senior Fellow James M. Taylor, who took the attached photo. "If greenhouse gas emissions are such a problem, you would think Reid might have actually made the short stroll through the parking lot, or at least retain Priuses rather than large SUVs for the summit," said Taylor.

If you all might recall, a similar incident happened with Reid in 2007 when he drove a Chevy Suburban ACROSS THE STREET OF THE CAPITOL to hold a news conference on energy efficiency. I kid you not! From Michelle Malkin in 2007: Pictures worth a thousand words: Harry Reid and Cameron Diaz

The caption reads:

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid walks from his Chevrolet Suburban (left) to attend a news conference on energy efficiency Wednesday in Upper Senate Park. Reid rode in the sport utility vehicle from the Capitol to the event, which was across the street."

This is further proof that the global warming movement is an utter fraud. If the proponents by their actions don't believe it, why should anyone else?

Stunner… Dem Operative Illegally Used State Offices to Campaign for Patty Murray

What a complete shock.
A Washington Democrat used state offices to campaign for far left Senator Patty Murray.

A Patty Murray suppporter illegally sent a political message from state offices to state veterans. The emailed flyers encouraged the veterans to join the Murray campaign. This violated federal and state laws and the department's own policies.

Red County reported:

The Washington Employment Security Department has released to Red County the email sent by a WorkSource employee who used government resources to organize support for Sen. Patty Murray's campaign. In the email, WorkSource employee Sally Garcia asks veterans to contact Kerala Hise, either by telephone or at a pattymurray.com address, to get involved in a '"walk and knock" to remind people to vote" for Murray's re-election.

Garcia's email also suggested that recipients "[t]ake a look at the attachments I"—Garcia—"have included." Employment Security unequivocally stated that no attachments were sent with the message but that Garcia did send a file to recipients who responded with interest. The file contains three People for Patty Murray flyers (click to download the file), an advertisement for a get out the vote event, a bulleted list of Murray's awards from veterans organizations, and a promotion for Murray's campaign kickoff rally in Vancouver.

Last week, Employment Security spokeswoman Sheryl Hutchison confirmed that the email represented a breach of agency policies and suggested it might potential violations of state and federal law.
