“News”week’s Sexism Is Showing On Its Cover »

Have you seen this “News”Week cover? Never mind the title of the article, excuse me, the EDITORIAL, that goes along with the cover:

Holy smokes. Needless to say, there has been a LOT of discussion about this photograph, and why Newsweek would choose to run this particular photo. Taylor Marsh – former Clinton [...]

Zenyatta, A Perfect 14 – 0 Record »

Yesterday was one for the ages. No, I’m not talking about the House of Representatives passing their Health Care Reform Bill. No, I will give you a break from the lunacy that is our Congress, one that passes a bill with little time for review thus resulting in Nancy Pelosi violating her promise of [...]

The Issue Of Women And Health Insurance, As Well As News That Will Be A Big Surprise »

There has been a great deal of talk and debate about health care in the country recently as the Democrats push Heath Care Reform. A lot of animosity has been directed at the Health Insurance Industry as a whole. As it turns out, some is justified, but some is not. I was [...]

Yep, It’s His Mess Now »

(Bumped up from Saturday.)
General McChrystal’s proposal for Afghanistan has been on Obama’s desk for almost two months now. And what is Obama doing about it? Well, he appears to be deciding on how to decide what his decision will be, but he’s not there yet. Nope, instead, he is throwing up some smokescreen [...]

GLBT People Finally Getting A Clue »

Well, Obama is pandering to the GLBT community again. He gave a speech to the Human RIghts Campaign Friday, October 9th. Personally, I think he was trying to ward off the big-ass march planned against him in DC byt the GLBT community. It didn’t work, I might add. Seems some folks [...]

What’s The Big Deal? Everyone’s Doing It! »

That is basically the excuse Rep. Maxine Waters (of ACORN-loving fame) uses for why Rep. Rangel is not going to have any comeuppance for his tax fraud in this article, “Rep. Waters: ‘Many Members’ Suffer From Disclosure Problems Like Rep. Rangel.” Holy smokes.
BONUS look back at Rep. Charlie Rangel. Remember when [...]

A Pat On The Back Will Make It All Better? »

You may have heard that this weekend, the White House strongly suggested that David Paterson, the current governor of New York, really shouldn’t consider a run in 2010. You know, the way only Chicago politicians can: leak out a strong encouragement, deny that they did any such thing, and make it seem like they [...]

I Am So Sick Of Obama… **OPEN THREAD** »

I tried to write something about Obama after his 263rd speech last Wednesday evening – not making up that number – but I just couldn’t. I am sick to death of him already. I am sick of seeing his face on the cover of my newspaper, on the cover of just about every [...]

“Tens of Thousands” »

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 [...]

senate dems move to close loophole in health care reform bill »

From Politico: Wilson wins?
The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting out “You Lie!” at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language.
“We really thought we’d resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on the President’s [...]

By The Numbers »

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey – she’s on HI time – she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. [...]

Want To Open A Brothel? Ask ACORN How! UPDATED!!! »

You are simply NOT going to believe this undercover discovery of just what you can get from ACORN on the Taxpayer Dime (do a search for ACORN at No Quarter for reminders about this organization,a s well as ACORN’s connections to Obama and the DNC, especially Barney Frank). Intrepid reporter James O’Keefe found out [...]

It’s WHOSE Meeting?? »

There seems to be some confusion over whose meetings these town halls are. Silly me, I thought they were held for the constituents of the particular representative or senator holding them. Evidently, I was wrong, at least according to this organizer for HCAN at the town hall held by Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) in [...]

The Young Turk Asks: Has Obama Sold Out? »

Yes, yes he has. Here’s the video of TYT pondering this question in light of the recent “revelations” of Obama’s duplicity:

WHAT “Cash For Clunkers”? »

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, [...]
