How is it there are so many people in government who forget to pay their taxes? As it is, federal employees owe the US Government over $3 BILLION in unpaid taxes. But how is it that Obama keeps picking people to be in his Administration who “forget” to pay their taxes? I don’t get it. [...]

And Fannie Mae are not included in the big Financial Reform Bill? I am just curious since they helped create this economic situation in which we find ourselves, and have drained billions of dollars from the coffers over the past couple of years. Now they want MORE. Oh, yeah – Freddie Mac is asking for [...]

Like a voter scorned. Many of us are reaping the sweet rewards of, “I Told You So” with many of our Obot friends, family, and acquaintances. We did, we tried, we hoped, we cried, and nothing would sway them from the One True Messiah of Obama. Well, those days seem to be slipping away, don’t [...]

Tim Geithner blinked and screwed the American taxpayer out of billions of dollars in the process. How so? Geithner and his cronies in Washington have misrepresented–if not outright lied–about the payments to both domestic and foreign banks in settling exposures to then failing AIG. While politicians and pundits alike will reference the precarious nature of [...]

*This importance treatise on the Obama presidency has been bumped up * During the presidential campaign, Peggy Noonan rhapsodized about an Obama presidency, trashing Hillary Clinton to the bargain. Recent months have seen Ms. Noonan pen several articles deconstructing her prior romantic notions, reaching the same conclusions as the very people she derided for not [...]

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 he called VP [...]

Well, it’s about damn time – again. Yes, Rep. Conyers has finally been persuaded – again – to investigate ACORN. Oh, yes, all the recent brouhaha about ACORN, all of the exposure from the faux pimp and prostitute, have FINALLY gotten the House Judiciary Chairman to get off his duff, and investigate ACORN, as this [...]

When I heard this story, I simply could not get over the incredible hypocrisy. This is not the first time Rangel has been in trouble over taxes, but he has stepped WAY over the bounds, a case made in this article, Sorry, Charlie: Rep. Rangel must step aside as chairman of the House Ways and [...]

I have some major things going on today, but I did want to touch on the Economy and what has been going on of late. As you may have heard, we have been adding $200 BILLION a MONTH to the Deficit. We are currently bumping up against the $12.1 TRILLION Debt Ceiling as established by [...]

Normally I would never quote Frank Rich. Endless copy excoriating Hillary Clinton in favor of Barack Obama during the primaries rendered his columns unreadable. Imagine my surprise to see Mr. Rich put down the Kool-Aid jug for a moment in his NY Times offering, Is Obama Punking Us. Let me start by pointing to Rich’s [...]

Hillary Clinton has been working diligently for months to appoint a new administrator of USAID. Now Jill Dougherty of CNN reports that “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton showed a rare flash of frustration Monday: – calling the vetting process for Obama administration nominees “ridiculous” and “a nightmare.” At a question-and-answer session with staff from the [...]

That’s President Serene Jones, of Union Theological Seminary speaking. She continued, “Justice is what love looks like when it takes social form.” Wow. This is but one of the profound statements made by Dr. Jones throughout the course of Bill Moyers’ “Journal: Faith and Social Justice,” which also included Dr. Cornel West, formerly of Union, [...]

Please adjust my goggles if I am incorrect, but isn’t Truthout.org that progressive publication that was forever calling President Bush and his administration out on the carpet for their many ills? Now Marc Ash of Truthout writes a powerful rant targeting the new administration called This Isn’t Working. I know there have been rumblings of [...]
