The Delusional Economic World of Newt Gingrich »

There is no denying that Newt is an articulate, effective communicator. But, true to his Irish roots, he is full of the blarney. He is lucky that Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are an ineffective counterpunchers. Check out Newt’s defense of his consulting work with Freddie Mac: I suspect most of you did not catch [...]

“Can’t Decide” in Fourth, “Don’t Want” Gaining »

Just to keep you up-to-date with all the latest tail swats and whinnies coming from the 2012 presidential horse race … The Iowa State poll of likely caucus-goers has Herman Cain leading at 25%, Ron Paul running a hard second with 20% and Mitt Romney trailing respectably in third with 16%. But the surprise dark [...]

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 [...]

What’s Wrong With The Republicans? »

What’s with the GOP?  Are they just TRYING to lose this election?  Or are they so over-confident about beating Obama that they think they don’t have to try?  I have to wonder.  When their best bet is a wimp-ass like Mitt Romney, I just can’t stop rolling my eyes.  In fact, I get dizzy just [...]

The Foibles Of Martha Affect Real People »

* Bumped up * Many of you may know that I spent a few years in the Boston area. And no, this isn’t about baseball, though I can say – it is hard being a Fan of the Pinstripes in Red Sox Nation. Clearly, though, I survived. No, this is about some of the legal [...]

New Material Needed To Respond To DNC Fundraising Calls – **Open Thread** »

* Bumped Up * So, with all the hot water many Democrats are in now, aided by the new book, Game Change, no doubt the fundraising calls will get more and more insistent. They have to overcome not just what was in the book, but stories like this from the Washington Post, “Sen. Reid and [...]

Missing The Point Of “Game Change” »

I first became aware of the book that is making waves, Game Change, when a part of it appearing in NY Magazine was referenced by faithful No Quarter reader, Mountainaires, in terms of Elizabeth Edwards. Basically, the authors, Heilemann and Halperin, dispel the myth of “St. Elizabeth.” What an eye-opener this excerpt was, especially for [...]

The “Winning” is Over; Now What? »

Congratulations, President-Elect Obama. Those are the words he’s been longing to hear. The words the media has been longing to hear as well, as they have beat the drum very loudly on his behalf for a year now. As I stare at the keyboard, the progress is slow. Possibly because I have no words to [...]

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 [...]

Likely Voters Vs. Registered Voters–Or What’s REALLY Going On in the Polls »

It’s about time pollsters started polling the way they have polled in the past instead of this touchy feely “Let’s Make Obama Look Good” routine we have been witnessing. I don’t exactly know why pollsters have been giving Obama special treatment for the first time in the history of Presidential polling. But then again, Obama [...]

Impending Electoral Disaster: NY, NJ, MN, PA, OH, MI »

New York New Jersey Minnesota Pennsylvania Ohio McCain-Palin 41 45 45 47 48 Obama-Biden 46 48 45 47 45 Barack Obama is not the “map changer” CNN and all the discredited Democratic blogs claimed he would be; he is a supercilious underachiever who promises to color the entire nation red, not blue. He is tied [...]

Move On Needs To Do Just That… »

Move On already. They have SO jumped the shark. I used to belong to them until they endorsed Obama with a limited number of members voting, and with the voting rigged (surprise!) by Obama people. I bring them up because THREE different people sent me the following email: Dear MoveOn member, Yesterday was John McCain’s [...]

The Cat’s Out Of The Bag »

Okey dokey – so the big Veep selection is out, as you have surely heard by now: Joe Biden. Wow. All of this hoopla for HIM?? Frankly speaking, I am not a huge fan of his. Post 9/11, he found every opportunity to get his photo taken with President Bush in the Rose Garden. Oh, [...]

Andyar and Muqimyar »

I am addicted to the Olympics. I LOVE sports, and am so happy when the Olympics come along. Sleep deprived, but happy. Anyway, Oxygen is one of NBC’s channels (who knew?), and has had different events in the evenings, like almost ALL of the Equestrian events, and synchronized swimming (hey, it’s HARD – it takes [...]
