It’s Time For OWS Folks To Go Home Already *Open Thread* »

Amazingly, Occupy Wall Street continues to be in the news, though not quite so positively now as more violence erupts in major cities. Not to mention the sexual assaults by OWS men against OWS women coming to light despite the attempts by OWS people to cover it up. Indeed, the polls are showing people are [...]

Karmic Payback or Hillary’s Revenge? You Decide… »

* A Great Post, Bumped Up * Colleen O’Connor, San Diego News Network, penned a fun article: King Obama v. Queen Clinton — Check or Checkmate? Her thesis is that the patient “Queen” is slowly but surely vanquishing the foes who betrayed her for Obama last year. I have another theory. Political operatives who backed [...]

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. [...]

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 what [...]

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 that [...]

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 [...]

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 bus. [photo [...]

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 risk blowing up [...]

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 [...]

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 Barack [...]

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 rhetoric and [...]

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 are worth your [...]

“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.
