Editor’s Note: Reverend Amy wrote this post several days ago but her post didn’t get published. She’s concerned that too much has transpired, but I assured her that you’re so informed that you can fill in what’s occurred in the meantime. Also: Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee and is a budget [...]

Update below the fold. Just from the title of this Sheila Marikar ABC report, you get a hint of a bias. The article doesn’t help to dispel that sensation, rather it escalates it: There’s the stereotype of the Sarah Palin supporter, and then there’s Sonnie Johnson. The 30-year-old African-American mother and wife is featured in [...]

* Bumped Up * You may recall during the 2008 Democratic Primary Campaign, Hillary Clinton was attacked by Barack Obama about her connections to Wal-Mart while First Lady of Arkansas. Oh, yes, he got just a tad testy as she was highlighting his constant “WORM”-ing (What Obama Really Meant). So he lashed out at her. [...]

NOTE: The Trolls are getting just what they want, too, when we respond to them. No matter how we try and reason with them, or provide facts to their lies and rumors, they will continue to incite, agitate, hurl insults, provide false information, and name-call, all in the name of hijacking these threads. With Obama [...]

PDS – Palin Derangement Syndrome. I know, I know, what else is new? That seems to be the case every single day recently. Yes, seems nary a day can go by without someone making some obnoxious comment about Governor Palin (oh, that reminds me – do you realize there are people in this country who [...]

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the following story about what is going on in Berkeley and a recent action there. The headline gives you a hint: “Alleged Leaker Bradley Manning: Hero To Berkeley?“. Of course, the headline refers to WikiLeaks. And the answer would be… YES!!!! By a vote of 7-3, the Peace [...]

There is much in the news about our current economic crisis right now, the mosque Imam Rauf wants to build near Ground Zero (on purpose), and Obama’s 274th vacation (okay, not really, but it seems like it). But I’m not talking about any of that. Nope, I have some interesting little news tidbits for you. [...]

A Republican political consultant and spin doctor once gave a young reporter a piece of advice. ”When dealing with a politician think like a lion tamer. Have you ever asked yourself why a lion tamer goes into the ring with a loaded gun at his side? That’s because he knows that even though he’s been [...]

An “accidental” President, thrust into office following the shocking assassination of his young, vital predecessor, takes the reins of power. He has inherited a war that is rapidly turning into a quagmire. Landmark legislation lingers on the Hill. The country is struggling with the divisive issue of civil rights. Congressman – Senator – Vice President [...]

* Bumped up * Many of you may know that I spent a few years in the Boston area. And no, this isn’t about baseball, though I can say – it is hard being a Fan of the Pinstripes in Red Sox Nation. Clearly, though, I survived. No, this is about some of the legal [...]

You may have heard recently about the Somali man who broke into Durch cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, to kill him for his depiction of Mohammad in one of his cartoons. Fortunately, he was arrested, and is being charged with attempted murder. What you may NOT have heard was the connection between this same man and Hillary [...]

Recently, Vice President Biden reported that the Stimulus Program had created a huge number of jobs. If you have 41 minutes to spend to watch him – what the hell is the matter with you?? Oh, no wait – sorry. Ahem. I meant to say, if you have the time, you can watch Biden announce [...]

(Bumped up Saturday a.m. from Friday afternoon.) With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry Johnson had [...]

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news of [...]

That would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaking out about violence against girls and women at the U.N. After the ad nauseum speeches of President Obama, this is an incredibly refreshing change, even though the subject is intense, to say the least. Still, this one has substance, and isn’t “just words.” I can’t help [...]
