When I as a kid, back in the 20th century, there was a rash of hijacking incidents, with planes being commandeered between Cuba and the United States. Some American hijackers wanted to go to Cuba for medical treatment, while Cuban hijackers wanted to go to Florida to see Disneyworld. This exchange peaked in the late [...]

The Iowa caucuses will kick off the 2012 race on January 3, only about 5 weeks from now! And before you know it the primaries will be in full swing. This field of eight will soon be down to three, maybe four. Or it could be that Iowa narrows it to two, as it often [...]

Barack Obama’s “body man,” Reggie Love, he of constant companionship to His O-ness for the last three years, is leaving the White House by the end of the year. Reggie has been Obama’s “work wife” throughout this time, always at the Prezzie’s side to assist him in any way he can, unlike his real wife. [...]

Well, it’s a slow news day. Just a lazy day, unless you got all wrapped up in that cooking and entertaining guests thing, in which case you may be needing an escape for a few minutes to regain your sanity. Not much going on today at my house. Just fooling around on the computer, and [...]

The Republican free-for-all is becoming eye-poppingly tragic! One after another, all the major candidates for President seem to be flaming out like fireworks blazing across the sky for a few moments of oohs and aahs, then fading and falling. This is a very tense time in history. The USA is the leader of the Free [...]

The devilish Oscar Wilde is famously cited for the delicious quotation: “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.” So how do you think Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu feels about a snippet of conversation that was accidentally overheard between President Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in which both presidents [...]

Somebody has watched “Free Willy” too many times! They probably watched all the sequels, too. What were there, like 5 of those things? This 1993 movie was, as you hopefully don’t recall, about an orca, a “killer whale,” that was kept in captivity by an aquarium owner who planned to kill it, apparently to make [...]

~~Bumped Up~~ The Honorable (sic) Charles Rangel (D-NY) has introduced legislation calling for a Universal National Service in four different sessions of Congress. Each time the bills failed to reach the House floor for a vote. The most recent bill, in 2010, would conscript men and women (!) between the ages of 18 and 42 [...]

Work!? Immediately, we old codgers remember Maynard G. Krebs, the goateed, sweat-shirted beatnik, played endearingly by Bob Denver, on the early 60s TV show “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.” Any time the word “work” was said in Maynard’s presence, he would go wide-eyed in alarm and squeak out “Work!?” The very idea of work [...]

The Tea Party could be helping Obama win re-election. This election is a referendum on Obama, and it would seem he has little chance of winning, but the Tea Party is making it easier for him by demonstrating the other extreme. I’m thinking the Tea Party is what is buoying Obama’s confidence lately. It’s his [...]

This is the conclusion of my 3-part presentation of Ulsterman’s White House Insider interview from August. The other parts can be seen, here and here. And my first article about the blogger “Ulsterman” and the “White House Insider” can be seen HERE. In this installment, the White House Insider kinda sorta explains a 3-step plan [...]

It’s funny and ironic that our group knew from the start that Barack Obama didn’t have the depth and gravitas for the presidency, and now all of a sudden, the mainstream media is catching on. Now he’s at that tipping point where it seems totally unlikely he will win a second term. I don’t think [...]

In March of 2008, the Jeremiah Wright tapes hit the news, nearly derailing Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Obama’s spiritual advisor, the pastor of the church the Obama family had attended for 20 years, was seen on videotape cursing America, among other unsavory things. But the liberal press quickly circled the wagons and declared it a [...]
