One would be hard pressed these days to not know that many people in this country are struggling. New Unemployment claims continue to be over 400,000 weekly, and unemployment benefits have been extended to 99 weeks (yes, almost 2 years). The DOW continues to hover around 10,000. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing. People are struggling, they [...]

Oh, it’s a doozy. I admit, using Jon Stewart two times in one week is a bit unusual for me, but hey – it was Obama’s first Oval Office speech, plus it was both telling, and funny, as hell. So here ya go – Obama’s plan: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs [...]

By the BP oil spill crisis, and it is certainly worthy of our attention, don’t think things have stopped going on in Washington, DC. Actually, come to think of it, there is a connection between the BP oil crisis and one major issue in DC, the Obamacare program. That connection is – wait for it [...]

Strange how everyone’s worse case scenarios seems to be turning into the most likely case scenarios. It’s hard not to feel like a captive audience forced to watch a slow motion perfect storm develop and unfold, but have no way of stopping it. Only left to wonder when and where it will end. The May [...]

Tuesday oil industry executives from BP, Halliburton, and Transocean were on Capital Hill to give Senate testimony on what happened to cause the explosion and spill at Deepwater Horizon. As you might imagine the execs did a lot of finger pointing, but provided almost no information. So Jimmy Kimmel put Judge Judy in charge. ____ It [...]

One year ago, I wrote an open letter to Bill Maher taking him to task for his horrid insults to the Tea Party movement, then in its infancy. He self-righteously, and wrongly, claimed that what was at the root of this movement was racism. He also claimed that this was strictly a Republican movement. These [...]

If anyone wonders why 24% of the population identify with the Tea Party movement, or what prompted Jane Hampsher of FireDogLake to note that Progressivism Is Dead, while expressing fury at being sold out to corporate oligarchs and government elite, look no further than Peggy Noonan’s WSJ piece, The Big Alienation, which aptly describes the [...]

I know, I know, that could be any number of things. Obama has, as many of us knew he would, morphed into George W. Bush. Not that his followers will ever admit it, but those of us in the “reality-based community” clearly see who he really is. Just look at his recent flip flopping backtrack [...]

Bumped up with and Update at the bottom of the post. Yes, Obama laid blame at the feet of just about everyone but himself last night during his SOTU. “The Buck Stops Here” moment was very short-lived, was it not? It’s Bush’s fault about the banks, even though Senator Obama voted to bail them out; [...]

Noticeably detached Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in a cowboy hat facing a San Francisco chamber of California-based greens is the story, not the debate. The Obama administration has already lost the argument for additional off-shore drilling.

Good news, All Ye Faithful! The Obama Camp has designed religious paraphernalia on which you can spend your hard-earned dollars! Now you can show your adoration for your faith and for Obama all at the same time! Oh, wait – was that redundant?? At God-O-Meter, the new items available were revealed. Oh, yes. Up first, [...]

According to Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire, The New York Post has endorsed McCain despite the months Obama spent wooing “Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.” I guess Obama’s attempt at getting Murdoch’s media to support him appear to be wasted. From Political Wire we learn about Obama’s whining to Fox News chief Roger Ailes in a summer [...]

OK, so three out of four of my siblings are Obama people. I don’t know about the fourth – I don’t think he has decided yet. My mother, a STAUNCH Hillary supporter, who is furious with the DNC (and has told them so because of the vote theft, etc.) says she doesn’t know where she [...]

Last month, Barack Obama rejected the idea of tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as a way to hopefully offset high gas prices for consumers. What a difference a month makes. Right on the heels of Obama’s dead fish flop on drilling off the coast of FL (even Jeb didn’t want to do this) comes [...]

1) While many people were wringing hands over the racist / nonracist McCain ad comparing Obama to vacuous celebrities, Rasmussen was doing a poll on what viewers thought. Viewers largely thought it was NOT racist.
