How Tim Geithner Screwed the American Taxpayer »

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 the [...]

*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 [...]

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 [...]

Oh, Charlie… »

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 [...]

What Is Going On With The Economy, Obama?? »

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 [...]

Stop the Presses! Frank Rich Wonders If Obama is Punking Him! »

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 [...]

“Justice Is Nothing But Love With Legs.” »

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 [...]

Is The Left Worrying Over Obama Now, Too? »

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 [...]

Hey, Tim. Can We Play Too? »

Faster than you could shake a drunk donkey off of an epileptic elephant’s back I put two and two together..

Sometimes I wish I had Larry Doyle’s knowledge and financial background. Sometimes I am glad I don’t, for if I did, I would not have amused myself as much today.

I was listening to a talking [...]

Geithner’s Major Staffing Problem »

When even MSNBC’s Obama cheerleader Rachel Maddow is reporting on Geithner’s inability to attract qualified staff — and she says that Obama confesses he can’t “give the jobs away”! — it’s truly worrisome. I hear that major business executives call and call and call, and can’t get anyone to RETURN their phone calls! [...]
