I've done a courtesy search for the term government in action for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• The Least Surprising Mortgage Story

  You remember the Tobacco settlement, don’t you? Based on dubious claims that smoking costs the states healthcare money, 46 states entered into an agreement that (1) froze the market for cigarettes in favor of a cartel existing companies; (2) took hundreds of billions from those companies, which they simply passed on as price hikes to the captive market; (3) paid lawyers tens of millions of dollars; (4) poured money into states ostensibly for healthcare … Read more

• Romney the Bully

  Ladies and gentlemen, your nontroversy of the week is the report that Mitt Romney bullied a kid in high school:

  There was no Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or sexting when several fellow students at a posh Detroit-area prep school say 18-year-old Romney led a boy posse to hold down one among them perceived as different and snip off his bleached blond hair.

  The victim, John Lauber, is dead now, but The Washington Post reported when it

• The nanny state is doing it for our own good!

  Government will pay for you abortions and contraceptives baby, but in return, well, in return we want the right to expand our ability to snoop on you with more ease. And don’t worry, when we can find anything and everything out about you, we will not abuse any of that at all. Only republicans, if you are crazy enough to elect them, will abuse this!

  (Reuters) – The U.S. Congress should pass a law

• Vote Obama or lose your craddle to grave nanny state!

  That’s the message you get if you have the fortitude to sit through this ridiculous collectivist campaign piece titled “The life of Julia” that Team Obama is banking on to remind the people that vote for a living who gives them their government cheese. The message is clear. Without democrats and the largesse their government programs produce, this woman conveniently named Julia and her son, whom also is conveniently given a Christian name, Zachary, would … Read more

• The child of the AGW cultists is already delivered!

  Scientific American, a publication I subscribed to when younger and ravenously read in my pursuit of knowledge and information in my younger years, when completely drawn and consumed by the world of science, was one of the main reasons I went to school and studied engineering. Of course, as they began shilling for AGW over a decade ago, publishing one dumb article after another that pushed a political agenda and leftist one government end goal, … Read more

• Hindsight is 20-20, and progressive stupid is forever

  And I have no doubt that Barney’s claim that he told Obama to not push for the government takeover of healthcare seems a lot like this tool is again trying to dazzle people with his bullshit. Monday morning quarterbacking, and a piss poor attempt at it at best:

  Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said he advised President Obama against taking up health care reform following a special election in 2010 that changed Democrats’ fortunes in the

• The Left Loses it on SCOTUS

  Imagine the most bizarre rant you’ve ever heard about “judicial activism”. Imagine it being delivered by Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly simultaneously while drunk. Imagine them delivering it in Esperanto, a language they don’t know. You will still not reach a thousandth of the anger and spittle and incoherence being spewed out by the Left Wing commentariat over the possibility that the Supreme Court will overturn Obamacare. And remember, this is just days after saying … Read more

• You can’t make this stuff up…

  How long did the Obama Administration hold the Keystone XL Pipeline project hostage in bureaucratic Limbo before they dropped it so gas prices could stay high and Buffet and other rich fat cats in bed with this government could make a killing carrying some of that oil by train? What fraction of that time was spent allowing the Treausry Department review of that deal? Well in the case of Solyndra, they got just one day… Read more

• Pity the Poor Commenters

  Update: It would appear this is an April Fool’s joke. The thing is, it’s utterly believable. If it is a joke, I fell for it. I’ll refrain from flushing this post down the memory hole to spare my ego.

  Feel free to slam Lieberman in the comments anyway. He’s still a Nanny State fuckwad, even if this is a hoax.

  I’m just going to say what Alex and Jim already know: Joe Lieberman has … Read more

• Minimum wage, in a way even the most stupid can understand.

  The concept of a living wage and a minimum wage are universally accepted on the left as great ideas. That they do not work in the real world and produce serious consequences is ignored. But now we have an example that is too easy to ignore:

  The catchy Subway sandwich shop jingle involving a variety of foot-long sandwiches available for $5 doesn’t apply in San Francisco. The sandwich-making chain stopped selling the five-dollar footlongs
