By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Oct 4, 2009 in Associated Press, Current Affairs, Foreign Aid, Indonesia, Southeast Asia | 7 Comments

This week. We have a tsunami in American Samoa and Samoa, with a typhoon hitting the Philippines. Add to that an earthquake, a MAJOR earthquake, in Indonesia. Sadly, many lives have been lost as a result of these natural occurrences.
Here is a good recap of what has happened during the past week [...]

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey - she’s on HI time - she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. [...]

Washington Post: On second thought, maybe we were a little too Pro-Obama »

By RobWarrior on Nov 9, 2008 in 1st Amendment, ABC News, Andrea Mitchell, Associated Press, CNN, Current Affairs, No Quarter Blog, Obama's Media Censorship | 223 Comments

It has been less than a week since “He who has not been vetted” became our President-elect. While the citizen journalists who volunteer time on blogs like this and others have done their best to search for answers about the man who will be our 44th president, they simply did not have the [...]

[UPDATE] Sarah Palin responds to race baiting AP reporter Douglass K. Daniel::
“The Associated Press is wrong,” Palin said. “The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn’t been talked about, and I think it’s fair to talk about where Barack Obama kicked off his political career, in the guy’s living room.”

The AP Portrays Palin As Hawkish On War With Russia »

By NancyA on Sep 12, 2008 in ABC News, Associated Press, Current Affairs, Sarah Palin | 193 Comments

The Associated Press (AP) in one short paragraph portrayed Palin as hawkish on war. This statement was meant to grab mainly men, I believe. My opinion heralds back from the days I was in Indiana volunteering for Hillary Clinton. The one theme I heard from quite a few men was they didn’t like Hillary because [...]

(Cartoon by Pat Racimora)
Obama’s choice of Joe Biden, I suspect, will go down as one of worst political decisions in recent memory. John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin will be remembered as one of the best.
Biden reinforces Obama’s worst traits: egoism, verbosity, elitism, and D.C.-insider status.
Palin, of course, reminds us of the best of McCain: [...]

McCain-Palin Pull Even, Change the Narrative, and Obama Employs Sexism »

Sarah Palin’s speech on Wednesday night might be the defining moment of the General Election. According to CBS’s new poll, Obama’s post-convention bounce has evaporated and the race is again tied. It’s likely that McCain will pull ahead with his own convention bounce. One of few sane netroots bloggers, Jerome Armstrong, sifting through the CBS [...]

Sweet Jesus! Obama Proclaims Faith in Faith-Based Initiatives? »

By Deb Cupples on Jul 2, 2008 in 1st Amendment, Associated Press, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Obamatopia | 132 Comments

Some of our Founding Fathers had a colorful way of speaking.  Thomas Paine, for example, said this about the separation of church and state:

"Soon after I had published the pamphlet `Common Sense’ in America I saw the exceeding probability that a revolution in the system of government would be followed by a revolution in [...]

Big Brotha Barack »

By PaganPower on Jun 19, 2008 in Associated Press, Barack Obama, Democratic Party, Dick Cheney, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama | 82 Comments

It started out so innocently. With all the rumors swirling — about fueled by the curious lack of a paper trail and his admission of falsifying information in his biographies — it sort of made sense. Barack Obama needed to do something to combat what he perceived to be smears about his character being spread [...]
