Weekend News Roundup (Open Thread) »

There is lots going on in the news. I’d like to touch on just a few of the stories, and you can feel free to add your own in the Comments. So here it is, the good, the bad, the ugly, and a return to the good. As Bronwyn reported yesterday, my governor, Nikki Haley, [...]

The Delusional Economic World of Newt Gingrich »

There is no denying that Newt is an articulate, effective communicator. But, true to his Irish roots, he is full of the blarney. He is lucky that Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are an ineffective counterpunchers. Check out Newt’s defense of his consulting work with Freddie Mac: I suspect most of you did not catch [...]

This And That *Open Thread* »

So we are back from our excursion to Grand Cayman for some snorkeling, good food, and a look at a possible vacation investment. There is a reason why I am mentioning this. I just have to share what one of the owners of the development said while we were chatting. She said she didn’t know [...]

Truth Will Out On Voter ID “Outrage” »

Well, this is a mighty interesting story, though I don’t reckon you’ll be seeing it on MSNBC. A former Democratic Representative, Artur Davis, fromo Alabama, admits the real reason the Democrats so oppose Voter ID. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Davis acknowledges the rampant voter fraud being perpetrated by Democratic Party bosses. Now, [...]

“Can’t Decide” in Fourth, “Don’t Want” Gaining »

Just to keep you up-to-date with all the latest tail swats and whinnies coming from the 2012 presidential horse race … The Iowa State poll of likely caucus-goers has Herman Cain leading at 25%, Ron Paul running a hard second with 20% and Mitt Romney trailing respectably in third with 16%.

Your Tax Dollars Pay Off Obama’s Bundlers And DNC Donors »

Doesn’t that just make you jump for joy to know this? Believe it or not, I am not just talking about Solyndra here. Oh, no. It is a far bigger picture than just that one failed company, though there are more energy programs involved. Peter Schweizer has written a new book, Throw Them All Out: [...]

Obama, Mr. Doom and Gloom »

Good grief, have you caught Obama on the campaign trail recently? Mr. Hope and Change has become Mr. Doom and Gloom. His new campaign rhetoric is to go around the country telling you how horrible the Republicans are, and all of the terrible things that will befall you, your children, and the country, should you [...]

Where The Hell Was Kathleen Parker In 2008? »

Y’all, I swear, I just about spit out my cappuccino when I read the beginning of this recent column by Kathleen Parker, “Obama’s African American Supporters Shouldn’t Play The Race Card.” Why yes, Ms. Parker, that is true, nor should they have back in 2008. For some reason, she seems to think this is a [...]

Politically Homeless… »

Whether as the result of crony capitalism, monied interests calling the shots in Washington, the myriad broken promises of politicians of both parties, millions of Americans find themselves “Politically Homeless.” According to ABC News’ Amy Bingham, an organization called Americans Elect Aims to Bypass Parties with Online Presidential Nomination. Neither party is anxious to undo [...]

Some Things I Don’t Get »

One would have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the struggles going on in Washington, SC, over the debt ceiling and the budget. Jay Leno used the following video to sum up the bickering on Capitol Hill: Uh, yeah. That sounds about right.

What’s Wrong With The Republicans? »

What’s with the GOP?  Are they just TRYING to lose this election?  Or are they so over-confident about beating Obama that they think they don’t have to try?  I have to wonder.  When their best bet is a wimp-ass like Mitt Romney, I just can’t stop rolling my eyes.  In fact, I get dizzy just [...]

An Important Segment Of Palin’s Emails Overlooked? »

How much have you heard about the death threats revealed in Sarah Palin’s emails since their release? Probably not much, I would wager. That was the point Jim Treacher of the Daily Caller made on Thursday, too: [snip] AGAINST her, that is. Yep, it turns out there was some news hidden in those thousands of [...]

The Most “Transparency” And “Change” Money Can Buy »

Now, I know that many of us – members of the “reality based community” – did not believe for one skinny second that Barack Obama was ever going to be transparent or bring real change to the White House. Frankly, it is ludicrous on its face to refer to someone as “transparent” who refused to [...]

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Lying Ways Follow Obama’s Lead **Open Thread** »

And the Democrats’ Magical Mystery Tour continues, from Obama on down, lying through their teeth about Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan. Bear in mind, first and foremost, that the Obamacare program, voted into law SOLELY by Democrats, contains MASSIVE cuts to Medicare. Doctors are now limiting Medicare patients as a result. But that doesn’t stop the [...]
