Another “Classy” Democrat We Can Do Without…. »

(Bumped up from earlier today.)
Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, the man who stood on the floor of the House and said ‘Republicans want you to die’ just got himself into a little tepid water for making saying that:
Linda Robertson, an adviser to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, [is] “a K Street whore.”
Bret Baier [...]

President Obama Is Insulting Americans Again »

(Bumped up from Friday.)
MSNBC carried a blip of President Obama speaking in New York at a fundraiser. Sadly, the President is up to his old tricks. Remember when he was at a hoity-toity fundraiser in San Francisco and complained of Pennsylvania voters “clinging to God and guns”? That didn’t go over so well. [...]

Fuzzy Math For Women »

Co-written with Reverend Amy.
MSNBC is devoting the week to news and opinion stories on the dramatically shifting power and influence of women in America. The week’s reports, led by Maria Shriver and John Podesta, is called “A Woman’s Nation.” Below you’ll find videos of two segments that contain impressive statistics on the growing [...]

If You Control The Message, You Control It All »

Thus proclaims the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Of course, many of us actually knew this already, or strongly suspected that was the case. How nice to have someone in Obama’s administration, someone pretty high up,confirm it:
President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating [...]

What A Bunch Of Racist Hicks Here In South Cackalacky »

At least according to my representative, Jim Clyburn. Let me just say that this is not at ALL what I had planned to write about this morning. I was going to write about the Senate Finance Committee voting on a bill that hasn’t even been written out yet, more a theoretical bill, if [...]

Mr. President, Why Did You Want This Job? »

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

Correction: Make That $5 Million »

Oh, boy. This doesn’t look good for ACORN, not that much does these days. You may recall that Dale Rathke, one of the two founders of ACORN, had embezzled $1 million dollars, according to this NY Times article. That became the widely accepted amount, not that that embezzlement stopped our government from [...]

Are You Tired Of Seeing… »

Photos like this every single day, especially as The One Who Thinks He Is King and his wife, thought their awesomeness would win Chicago the 2016 Olympics:

John Edwards Is Told Where To Get Off… »

I would not typically publish a further smack-down to a smack-down. But every now and then, something is written that is so spot on, it requires further highlight and big hooting Brava! Susan Estrich today published just such a piece telling Senator John Edwards what he ought to be doing. Here’s the [...]

White House To Insurance Companies - “Shut The F**K Up!” »

By now, surely you have heard about the White House threatening a Gag Order on insurance companies, Humana in particular out of KY. Why? Because they dare to tell their members what will happen to Medicare Advantage if the current Health Care Bill goes through. Damn their eyes - what are they [...]

And Which One Is Lying Here? »

A classic case of “She said, he said,” is what we have here, that’s for sure. This next video (courtesy of longtime reader, SFIndie) illustrates the conundrum:

Um, it seems to me that if you happen to be the President of the United States, maybe you could appoint a Fact Checking Czar to go with [...]

The Right Woman to Take Teddy Kennedy’s Senate Seat »

In Hillary Clinton’s historic run for the Presidency, Massachusetts was the most telling primary. The three most powerful men in the state, Senators Kennedy, Kerry and Governor Duval Patrick endorsed Barack Obama yet Hillary still won the state by over 15 pts. The old boys club failed to fool the voters. They [...]

I Am So Sick Of Obama… **OPEN THREAD** »

I tried to write something about Obama after his 263rd speech last Wednesday evening - not making up that number - but I just couldn’t. I am sick to death of him already. I am sick of seeing his face on the cover of my newspaper, on the cover of just about every [...]

yep….words, just words »

Flopping Aces had a great post up this week about Obama’s empty words and dare I say, lies. It really points out how empty Obama’s promises were/are when it comes to bipartisanship, and the truth about what is going on in Washington.
Congressmen Took Obama At His Word Over Invite to Review Health Bill “Line [...]

How Will The Baucus Bill Affect Us? »

My well meaning, but decidedly Obot, sister sent me an article from alternet.org recently written by a lesbian mother detailing the additional financial difficulties we face when we are on our partner’s health care coverage (”Unbelievable: As A Lesbian Mother, I Have To Pay More For Health Care“). Well, I can appreciate her alarm, [...]

Pulling “Back The Curtain On ACORN” »

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

Want To Open A Brothel? Ask ACORN How! UPDATED!!! »

You are simply NOT going to believe this undercover discovery of just what you can get from ACORN on the Taxpayer Dime (do a search for ACORN at No Quarter for reminders about this organization,a s well as ACORN’s connections to Obama and the DNC, especially Barney Frank). Intrepid reporter James O’Keefe found out [...]

Some Suggestions If You Are Traveling Into The USA »

After seeing this article the other day, Bush’s Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept; Obama Officials Say Oversight Will Grow, I felt compelled to share some helpful suggestions when you are traveling into the USA: carry some change to make phone calls, bring some paper and a pen to be able to write a letters/documents, [...]

ted’s favorite jokes were about chappaquiddick »

I wasn’t alive when America witnessed the assassination of John F Kennedy, and was a mere toddler when Bobby Kennedy was killed. I was just three when Chappaquiddick happened. I grew up in the generation of John John, and sadly we experienced our own Kennedy tragedy. The entire Kennedy clan seems to be touched by [...]

Obama Lets the Cat Out of the Bag »

Yesterday President Obama stuck his foot in it. It was a gaffe worthy of Vice President Biden! But let your mind not be troubled. I don’t think he noticed. He seems to struggle with the first half of his message, but delivers big at the end.
H/T to Hot Air [...]
