Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…:
President Obama should just join the cast [...]

(Bumped up from yesterday evening.)
In his article Obama morphs into old rival Clinton, Politico’s Alex Conant posits that all Obama’s campaign promises which distinguished him from Hillary have now been thrown out the window:
A year ago today, with returns rolling in from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, the late Tim Russert so famously declared, [...]

Thus writes John Kass in the excellent article by the same name, The campaign’s over, Obama; it’s time to lead (Major h/t to my friend, SusanUnPC for the heads up on this article). No freakin’ kidding - Obama needs to stop with all of the damn press conferences (can you believe he is getting [...]

That would be the Economic Stimulus bill, the one shoved through in such a hurry, no one had time to read it. No, they could not be bothered to take one WEEK to comb through the more than one THOUSAND pages of this bill. Maybe, just maybe, if they had, they would have [...]

Since AIG is big in the news right now, with Obama claiming his faux outrage over the bonuses, and Chris Dodd saying, “Don’t blame me!” “I mean, do blame me!” (c’mon, don’t you KNOW Rahm Emanuel showed Chris just how they do it in Chicago to make him take the fall for this?), I [...]

Oh, y’all are gonna love this story. I am sure everyone remembers that our new Secretary of The Treasury is a big ol’ Tax Frauder. So are Tom Daschle, and several other people Obama has nominated for positions - TOP positions - in our government. (I still cannot believe that our Senate approved [...]

As in Charles Krauthammer and Paul Krugman, that is. One is typically more conservative, one is more liberal, and both had columns this week on how Obama is dealing with our financial crisis, or not. Now, I have long enjoyed Paul Krugman’s work - he is a brilliant, brilliant man (the Nobel Prize Committee [...]

You don’t have to be a Yankees fan (which I am) to have heard the recent brouhaha over Alex Rodriquez (I’m a Derek Jeter fan myself), and his acknowledgment that he used steroids back in 2001 - 2003. It is disturbing, of course - I deplore the use of steroids in baseball (though at [...]

Updates: The Senate vote is at 5:30 p.m. ET on C-Span2.
Breaking News via WaPo: Stimulus Bill Clears Procedural Hurdle in Senate : “Senate votes to move forward on a compromise version of the bill crafted last week to attract a handful of GOP votes. Even if the Senate approves the measure in a subsequent vote, [...]

No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

Earlier in the week, one of my aunts sent me a piece by Victor Davis Hanson, The Impending Obama Meltdown (SusanUnPC also included this article in her excellent piece, “Is Barack Obama On The Precipice Of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“). I don’t want to be premature, but maybe, just maybe, there are some journalists coming [...]

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off.
Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax [...]

Can’t President Obama take one day off from this bipartisan baloney (which isn’t ever going to really happen anyway, unless Obama has started believing his own hopey-changey prattle)?
You live at the most prestigious and powerful address in the world. You can invite whoever you want, and they’re nearly sure to come. So, out [...]

According to John Kass in this VERY good piece from January 9, Chickens Dancing, Roosting in 5th District (major H/T to KenoshaMarge via NH). I tell you, that is one courageous man given how so many of Obama’s critics, or people close to him, are silenced tout suite. But that as not stopped [...]

I bet Roland Burris can’t either. First, according to NBC Chicago, Obama “forcefully” sided with the Senate, and Harry “No One Gets To Come Into My Clubhouse If I Don’t Want Them Here” Reid, saying that while Burris is a good man, he wasn’t going to get the secret handshake to gain admittance.

Ok, now, I know that the Dems said they would not seat any appointee by Blago before Burris was appointed, so I don’t really think this is about race. But, I don’t think it looks good to reject a 71 year old, experienced African American candidate for the US Senate. I feel bad for the [...]

Harry, Harry, Harry. What’s up with you, man?
Say this is not true.
You tell us that armed guards are going to keep Roland Burris from taking his seat. One strike.
But Harry, now this?
Days before Gov. Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, top Senate [...]

With the possibility that Paterson will pick Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg after all. Sigh. Between the crapola with Burris and Kennedy, I scarcely recognize our form of government any more. But it is not yet a done deal on Kennedy Schlossberg, so this isn’t about that specifically.
Rather, I want to share [...]
