So we are back from our excursion to Grand Cayman for some snorkeling, good food, and a look at a possible vacation investment. There is a reason why I am mentioning this. I just have to share what one of the owners of the development said while we were chatting. She said she didn’t know [...]

Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

There is so much going on in the news today. A few stories are mentioned below, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to add some of your own. First there is the massive upset in New York City when a Republican, Bob Turner, took Anthony Weiner’s seat, the first time [...]

Osama bin Laden: killed and al Qaeda: on the run. That’s the balance sheet — more or less — that the U.S. has to share with the world. Meanwhile, its biggest ally in the War on Terror — Pakistan — has nothing to present except that its own people have been terrorized by militants, with [...]

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

Ever since Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unveiled his Budget Plan, Republicans have been attacked for hating seniors, wanting to gut Medicare, and wanting old people to die. Or so you would think. Heck, I think you could say the Republicans were being just plain hateful toward seniors, especially considering the comments by DNC Chair, Rep. [...]

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring. Pay no attention to the rising unemployment numbers, the falling number of jobs created, or the continuing decline of housing market. I [...]

One of the most familiar story lines in the beloved comic strip “Peanuts” involved malicious prankster Lucy holding a football and encouraging poor Charlie Brown to kick it. At the last moment, Lucy would pull the football away. Year after year after year, Lucy played Charlie Brown for a sucker. The football remained unkicked. So [...]

Learning that Jonathan Alter (nee of Newsweek) had written a “glowing” article about Secretary Hillary Clinton for Vanity Fair entitled Woman of the World, I became suspicious. This was, after all, one of the media bullies who demanded Hillary drop out of the 2008 race for the presidential nomination in mid February to preserve her [...]

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

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 [...]

In a scathing review of Tina Brown’s re-launch of Newsweek, Slate’s editor-at-large Jack Shafer betrayed himself as another in a long list of journalists and pundits who find women bring little of use to the table. While I have had reason to fault Newsweek in the past for their biased coverage negating qualified female political [...]

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

That is the word Dr. Charles Krauthammer used to describe the attempt by the left to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for the horrible tragedy in Tucson, an action carried out by a mad man. It seems rather an appropriate term, not just for their unfounded claims, but for some of the claims [...]
