My senator, Lindsey Graham, has been hot under the collar about this Health “Care” bill, and the manner in which Ben Nelson was bought off by Harry Reid at OUR expense this past weekend. He likened it to “Chicago-style politics.” I’d be inclined to agree. Here is Senator Graham explaining his assertion: You tell ‘em, [...]

Oh, dear. This not very good advertising for the way the Feds run programs. It seems that while the so-called “Cash for Clunkers” program is a HUGE success, the automobile dealers are not getting reimbursed for all of the money they have shelled out. At least one, MAJOR, state has had it, as this headline [...]

(bumped up from early afternoon) See the Update about how many of our Elected Officials will/not be holding Town Hall Forums at the bottom of the page. Friend to NQ, Kathleen Wynne from HandCountPaperallotsNow made a suggestion after seeing the negative spin the MSM is putting on reports of concerned citizens calling out their representatives [...]

I got an email recently from an organization that has impressed me, VoteVets.org. As their name implies, they work hard on behalf of our veterans. They work not just on behalf of our veterans, but all those currently serving in the military. The email was on the issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which VoteVets.org [...]

In the 2010 Senate primaries, should the dashing retired Navy Admiral who currently represents Pennsylvania’s 7th district as a Democrat in Congress take on the grisly, high-profile, five-term Republican Senator who only recently dumped the GOP to declare himself a Democrat? Either man would likely prevail over the right-wing conservative Republican contender.

(Bumped up from last week.) I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that were [...]

I seem to be on a roll with the Prison and Freedom thing, so I will just continue. Roxanna Saberi is not the only political prisoner currently, by far. And thank heavens she has since been released. One has been imprisoned for years now, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, who has [...]

In the entire saga involving Sen. Arlen Specter, there’s only ONE person I care about: Rep. Joe Sestak, a retired United States Navy rear admiral, who would make a brilliant senator. Rep. Sestak’s “legislative efforts have resulted in House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer naming him the most productive freshman member of Congress.” Update #2: “Poll [...]

My good buddy, SusanUnPC (No Quarter), told me about this lovely story. I figured since I ended up writing about Hillary Clinton yesterday, I might as well continue the theme and write about her today, too. Oh, who am I kidding – I could write about her EVERY day. She is the Secretary of State, [...]

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal: Americans United is going after [...]

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 the [...]

Obama and Bush are birds of a feather. Oh, I have written numerous times before regarding ALL of the similarities these two have HERE and HERE, with connections all along the way. And now we have this story to aid us with a visual, Hey Bam, That’s Not The Door!: It looks like President Obama [...]

Welcome Senator Gillibrand. You are not in your sleepy upstate county anymore. Welcome to the big show. Welcome to the shark tank. I hope you have some good repellant, you may need it if some of the stories in the press mean anything. Going through my paper this morning there was a podium picture of [...]

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. Okay, maybe [...]
