Kathleen Wynne, of Hand Count Paper Ballots Now mentioned a colleague of hers recently, Richard Hayes Phillips, author of Witness To A [...]

Sinking newspapers and who is up to No Good »

At a time when our National Debt has now reached a level so large that most Americans don’t even know exactly how many zeros are attached to it, John Kerry wants to make newspapers “Not for profit” so that they no longer have to pay taxes.
Hours before a Senate hearing on struggling newspapers, Sen. John [...]

The Cost of “Enabling” Obama »

In his UK Telegraph piece Barack Obama Is A Novice - And It Shows, Toby Harnden details the rookie stumbles of the new President. For me, this is less about condemning Pres. Obama for making such errors in judgment or losing control of his message, or even that he does not practice in office [...]

If This Is A Feminist… »

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and [...]

Some Economic Stimulus! »

Andy Borowitz had the following as his post on January 8. FINALLY, someone acknowledges the power of Obama’s oration:
“Obama Hopes to Calm Americans With Series of Boring Speeches, Economic Address Contains Opposite of Stimulus:
Hoping to calm a nation whose nerves have been rattled by economic woes, President-elect Barack Obama today delivered the first in [...]

Kerry is crying in his beer. Actually it’s probably a nice Cabernet Sauvignon »

An extra added bonus to the naming of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is that John Kerry is sad, really sad. Both the Boston Globe and Herald are reporting that the man who managed to lose to George W. Bush in 2004 is not comfortable with his new seat under the Obama [...]

Presidential Transition on the Precipice [UPDATED] »

Does Barack Obama’s political future hinge on Hillary Clinton? Has he painted himself into a corner? The leak of Hillary Clinton’s name as the leading candidate to become Secretary of State has thrown Washington into an uproar. In fact, Barack must now follow thru and name Hillary as Secretary of State or [...]

Misogyny was the central narrative of the Obama campaign »

(image from Post Secret)
The image above was posted on Post Secret on November 8, 2008. I have no doubt that the dominate narrative of this campaign — the forceful suppression of women — is responsible for the author’s “secret.” In the Obama-realm, feminism isn’t just bad, it’ll ruin your life. One only need to look [...]

What Actual Change Will We Get at the NSC and State? UPDATED »

(bumped up by NoQuarter)
Barack Obama’s mantra of change sounds eloquent on the campaign trail, but as we have pointed out repeatedly there is an enormous gulf between what he says and what he does. It is one thing, for example, to tout womens’ rights. But those exhortations ring hollow when we learn that [...]

The Best Reason Not to Vote for Senator Obama; or, Deconstructing His Great Lie »

I am delighted to see that Senator McCain currently has the wind at his back. Otherwise, this country stands at the precipice of one of the biggest electoral mistakes imaginable – making the singularly unqualified Senator Obama Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces and leader of the free world. By his own [...]

Democratic Speechwriter Rejects Party and Votes McCain/Palin »

Washington D.C. speechwriter Wendy Button aptly says So Long, Democrats, in her piece appearing in The Daily Beast. Ms. Button has written for Senators John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, as well as other national and international leaders. She really tells the ‘new’ Democratic Party where to go. Her words [...]

“Part of the Problem” »

Created by the conservative group “Let Freedom Ring,” this one-minute ad just aired during prime time in the swing state where I live. I think it’s very effective.

“What Sarah Palin Taught Us” and Hillary 2012 »

Many of us seem to be on a roll these days - the roll being calling out the degrading treatment of women by the Democratic Party. Yet, those loyal female Democrats are all too willing to accept this treatment, and vote for The One who stole this nomination from Hillary Clinton, aided and abetted [...]

October 22: Kerry Leads in Ohio by 6 Points! »

- Democrat John Kerry has a lead as high as 6 percent over President Bush in the key battleground state of Ohio, according to a survey completed Thursday night at Ohio University’s Scripps Survey Research Center.
Among registered voters, Kerry leads 49 percent to Bush’s 43 percent, with 2 percent saying they will support third party [...]

Who Are You Calling A Coward? »

Or: Obama is throwing out more smokescreens to obscure his connections with Ayers and ACORN.
Yes, it is true, in the conversation Charlie Gibson of ABC (”American Barack Broadcasting,” as my aunt says) with Barack Obama the other day, Obama threw down a challenge to John McCain. In this interview, which was VERY different from [...]

Obama’s Whining, Will it Work? »

As noted in previous posts I am in Europe finishing up work on a project related to national security. This gives me a great perch to observe the wave of financial news bearing down on the United States with the markets closing in Asia and the markets in Europe just getting started. So [...]

Barack’s Shameful Bipartisan Record »

Give Barack some credit. He has been in the forefront of one bipartisan group on the Hill–i.e., those who have raked in the most dough from two bankrupt mortgage firms. There are twenty five members of congress-16 -Democrats and 9 Republicans–who have some explaining to do about the unfolding Wall Street debacle that [...]

The Three Stages of Panic »

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others:
started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from anger, [...]

“Do You Understand… »

Sadly, the answer from too many people is, “No.” No, they don’t understand the words coming out of my mouth (or in this case, laptop). No matter how many times I have said this: I will not vote for Obama. Ever. See the sidebar on my blog? “NOBAMA.” “I Own My Vote.” “Don’t Blame Me, [...]

In Massachusetts, Ed O’Reilly Works To Defeat John Kerry »

Whether or not Ed O’Reilly, criminal defense attorney, former lobsterman, fireman and all-around salt of the earth, can defeat the arrogant, elitist Junior Senator John Kerry in this Tuesday’s primary, I have to take a moment to make some noise on behalf of this man. I deeply appreciate his effort. Apparently, I’m not [...]
