There Is Something SERIOUSLY Wrong With One State, And Something Very Right About Another One *Open Thread* »

I saw the following article at Facebook, posted by The New Agenda. I have to say, it just made me sick to my stomach, and furious, all at the same time. I think the headline really says it all: Victim Ordered to Pay Attacker Spousal Support. Yes, you read that right. The victim of many [...]

Harry Reid And Joe Biden Have Gone Off The Deep End »

Seriously. I don’t know what he and Joe Biden are smoking or drinking these days, but they need to stop. They are just making idiots of themselves in public on our dimes. First to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid has declared that the problem with unemployment isn’t the lack of private sector jobs. Nope, [...]

“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 [...]

A Little Karma, A Big Mouth, A Stunning Copper Crime, And A Kitty Caper *Open Thread* »

First, at long last, the head of Solyndra finally, and very, very quietly, stepped down this past Friday from his post. Yes, CEO Brian Harrison is out at the failed solar company (I reckon that shouldn’t REALLY be a surprise, right?). The report claims it is unclear if Mr. Harrison left when he did for [...]

Obama: Words vs. Deeds »

President Barack “I’m a warrior for the middle class” Obama may talk the talk, but his lifestyle is rather atypical of how 99.9% of the middle class lives. There are the swelling numbers of unemployed now homeless, including military veterans. Now students are joining the ranks of the homeless. There is no government funding for [...]

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.

What A Bunch Of Southernist BS About Boeing And SC »

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

If You Can Read This… »

Chances are 50-50 you probably aren’t from Detroit. As it turns out, about half of the adult population in Detroit is functionally illiterate. Almost HALF. That is a staggering number. How in the sam hill can that possibly be? I am serious – how in the world, in the United States of America, can this [...]

Sounds Like Obama Meeting With Big Pharma Was Just The Beginning… »

Of the duplicity that is Obamacare. Some time ago, August 12, 2009, to be exact, Obama-phile Greg Palast wrote about Obama meeting with Big Pharma from the get-go. He was not amused that Obama would do this, though others of us are not surprised one bit that Obamacare was a giveaway to Big Pharma. But [...]

Russ Feingold and MoveOn Finally Notice Crony Capitalism with GE’s Jeffrey Immelt: Want to Oust Him From White House Jobs Council »

Better late than never? I think not, baby puppy. It is April, 2011 and ex-Wisconsin Senator and favorite principled liberal Russ Feingold finally noticed a conflict of interest with having GE’s CEO Jeffrey Immelt as head of the President’s advisory council on job creation. Ya think? According to CBS and The Hill: Former Sen. Russ [...]

Want A Job Playing On Facebook All Day? Plus Sending Our Dollars Up In Space (Or Not) »

Well, I have just the position for you then. And get this – it is with the federal government! Not only do you make a good salary – $115,000 a year, but you get all those awesome federal benefits, too! Woohoo! Yes, it is true. This is but one of the many, many jobs currently [...]

So It Continues – Racism And Sexism In 2012! »

All in one post! Whee!! Ahem. Yes, once again, racism is being touted as the cause for the landslide shift in the 2010 election, according to Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA). Good grief. Yes, Rep. Moran made this ludicrous charge in an interview with an Arab TV station (honestly, I am having a hard time writing [...]

A Clinton/Obama Trip Down Memory Lane With WalMart »

* Bumped Up * You may recall during the 2008 Democratic Primary Campaign, Hillary Clinton was attacked by Barack Obama about her connections to Wal-Mart while First Lady of Arkansas. Oh, yes, he got just a tad testy as she was highlighting his constant “WORM”-ing (What Obama Really Meant). So he lashed out at her. [...]

Friday Is A Very Good Day »

Today, Friday, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was transported this morning to a rehab facility, TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital, in Houston. This follows her standing on her own, going outside (on the roof of the hospital) for some fresh air, stroking her husband’s face, and generally making remarkable, truly remarkable, progress. What a blessing. This is [...]

“Then Give Us Our Money Back” »

You may think the title refers to the current tax battle currently going on in Congress as they decide if our taxes will go way up in 2011, or stay the same (and by the way, maintaining the same rate does not equal a “tax cut.” That is the media p[laying semantics.). But no, this [...]
