Good News! Our Economy Is SO Much Better Now, Especially For Democrats! »

Or at least that was the impression this headline from The Hill wanted us to believe, “Signs Of Turning Tide On Economy Lift Democrats, Obama’s Hopes.” Oh, Happy Day! Woohoo! The tide has turned, the economy is recovering, people are going back to work, Obama has parted the waters and slowed their rising, oh Hallelujah… [...]

Now Barney Does His Job, And Bill Richardson Pulls An Edwards? *OT* »

Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

Wednesday Night Open Thread »

‘Tis the night before Thanksgiving, and no doubt, people are busy preparing for tomorrow, whether it be traveling or cooking or making plans to watch the big game, Thanksgiving is a big day, and well it should be. It is always good to take a step back, and count our blessings, large and small. That [...]

Wait, Which One Is It? Obama Plays Both Sides (And More) »

Obama is doing what he likes to do best – campaign. But he is doing it under the auspices of the People’s Business. Uh huh. I suppose if one completely ignored the blatantly partisan nature of his campaign, uh, I mean POLICY speeches, like the recent one in New Hampshire, one could buy that. The [...]

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, [...]

“Democratic Pollsters: Obama Should Abandon Run for Second Term” »

Now THERE is a headline I can get behind, from the National Journal. Yes, a variety of sources are reporting today that Democratic pollsters are a bit concerned about Obama’s re-election campaign, and what would happen should he get (NOOOO!) a second term. I gotta tell you, this is a welcome headline indeed. And just [...]

It’s A Numbers Game *Open Thread* »

A whole bunch of numbers are coming out today, but one in particular stands out: as you read this, the US Debt will have reached $15 TRILLION for the first time in history. While Obama is hanging out in Hawaii on the links with his prostitute-seeking-and-busted-by-an-undercover-cop friend, complaining about Americans being lazy (the hypocrisy on [...]

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: [...]

OWS Supporters, And Obama Supporters (the 1%) *OPEN THREAD* »

I came across a list today of Occupy Wall Street Supporters, the 99%-ers. I won’t spoil it by giving you all of them for space reasons (and I cut out a few in the part of the list below), but oh, wow – there are some doozies on there. Don’t worry – you will definitely [...]

“The GOP Is Stupid, And I Do, Too, Want Long Term Insurance!” »

That’s the latest from our illustrious (cough, cough) president in a nutshell. The problem with his jobs bill isn’t what is IN the jobs bill, but that the GOP is just too darn stupid to get it through their thick heads what an awesome, fantastic, super duper plan it is, or at least all at [...]

Those In The Know Changing Their Tune Too Late To Matter »

Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

News We Don’t Want To Lose »

There is so much going on in the news today. A few stories are mentioned below, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to add some of your own. First there is the massive upset in New York City when a Republican, Bob Turner, took Anthony Weiner’s seat, the first time [...]

At Long Last, Certification To End DADT »

Finally. Finally the Powers-That-Be plan to certify that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” cease to be the law of the land. Once Obama signs off on it, that is. And it will take a couple more months before it is so, but still, better than nothing. I, for one, am very glad this law will no [...]

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.
