Stories Too Good To Miss – TGIF! *Open Thread* »

I just saw this headline, and had to grab this article: “MI6 attacks al-Qaeda in ‘Operation Cupcake‘; British intelligence has hacked into an al-Qaeda online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.” Oh, my – that is freaking HILARIOUS! Here is part of the article: The cyber-warfare operation was launched by MI6 [...]

The Lyin’ Tamer »

A Republican political consultant and spin doctor once gave a young reporter a piece of advice. ”When dealing with a politician think like a lion tamer. Have you ever asked yourself why a lion tamer goes into the ring with a loaded gun at his side? That’s because he knows that even though he’s been [...]

Jon Stewart Takes On Keith Olbermann »

And Olbermann’s response to him. Now you know I used to watch both Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart religiously. I’m not about to start watching Olbermann again, but after the mocking Jon Stewart did of Olbermann, I may just have to start watching “The Daily Show” again. He’s been on fire recently. The other night, [...]

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 [...]

John Edwards Is Told Where To Get Off… »

I would not typically publish a further smack-down to a smack-down. But every now and then, something is written that is so spot on, it requires further highlight and big hooting Brava! Susan Estrich today published just such a piece telling Senator John Edwards what he ought to be doing. Here’s the long and the [...]

john edwards: the paris hilton of politics »

John Edwards, he’s cute in an odd sort of way, spends a fortune on his hair, likes to primp in front of the camera, and has an infantile fixation of the phrase *you’re hot*. He got caught with his panties down, and now, god save us all, there is a sex tape. “Former presidential candidate [...]

John Edwards’ Staff Infection! »

My jaw dropped when I read this column by George Stephanopoulos. You mean to tell me that the Edwards staffers who suspected the affair was real didn’t have the guts, not to mention decency, to insist that John Edwards withdraw from the Democratic primary? … I’ve talked to a lot of former Edwards staffers about [...]

“Illinois Guv” »

Okay, you have to admit, there has been some pretty strange stuff happening around IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and not just that most everyone can now pronounce his name. The humorist, Andy Borowitz had this take on it 12/9/08 in this satirical piece: Illinois Guv Offers Senate Seat to Arresting Officer, Daring Escape Attempt Caught [...]

before you vote, listen to what they have to say »

Make sure before you head to the polls, you listen to these words from Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Barack and Michelle Obama.

Democratic Speechwriter Rejects Party and Votes McCain/Palin »

Washington D.C. speechwriter Wendy Button aptly says So Long, Democrats, in her piece appearing in The Daily Beast. Ms. Button has written for Senators John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, as well as other national and international leaders. She really tells the ‘new’ Democratic Party where to go. Her words are worth your [...]

“What Sarah Palin Taught Us” and Hillary 2012 »

Many of us seem to be on a roll these days – the roll being calling out the degrading treatment of women by the Democratic Party. Yet, those loyal female Democrats are all too willing to accept this treatment, and vote for The One who stole this nomination from Hillary Clinton, aided and abetted by [...]

Look Who Else Is In Bed With ACORN – UPDATED »

Yep, none other than John Edwards. Ahem. Oh, he didn’t just speak at one of their conventions, like some other Democrats did. No, it wasn’t that casual or innocent. He actually traveled with their president around the country. It gets really interesting around the 6 1/2 minute mark. Oh yeah, check it out: Uh, yeah, [...]

“Sisterhood Is Powerful” »

Since I have been discussing women in politics a good bit, I thought I would share this opinion piece from July 28, 2008. The author will be revealed at the bottom of the page: Rwanda’s Women Are Leading the Way I have recently returned from Rwanda. I was last there in 1994, at the height [...]

Here We Go Again »

Round Two of the Sexism/Misogyny Palooza, courtesy of the Media and Blogosphere. Great. Just great. Like many of us are not still reeling from the HORRIBLE treatment of Senator Clinton. Yep. Just yesterday, Daily Kos and “journalists” went after Palin primarily because she is a woman, plain and simple. Check out this video(H/T to Roseeriter [...]

Finally: Personal Vindication, But an Unsolvable Problem Looms for the Democratic Party »

Last winter, following my own original research on Barack Obama’s views on abortion, which required days of laborious searches of every possible resource as well as serious fact-checking, I stumbled, by chance, on the fact that Obama had voted present, and then nay, on Illinois state senate bills related to the extremely rare instances in [...]
