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 [...]

MSNBC Needs To Make It Official »

Their name change to MSNB(arack)O(bama). Seriously. As many of you know, Keith Olbermann left his 6:00pm slot there for any number of reasons many of us would be willing to suggest were the true reasons. Regardless, he has been gone for a number of months now (though not off the tv – he found another [...]

“Now Showing: Crazy, Crazy, Everywhere” (& Open Thread) »

That is a sign hanging up in our favorite beach restaurant. And it seems particular appropriate to a bit of an update to my previous post, “Chris Matthews’ Trip To Crazy Town.” To paraphrase my friend, CindyIndie, Matthews has purchased property, and taken up residence in Crazy Town. You will not believe what he has [...]

All Aflutter Over Palin’s Paul Revere Comments **UPDATED** »

Update below the fold. Oh, my – Sarah Palin really stepped in it this time, didn’t she? She completely bungled the history of Paul Revere while up North. Yes, this short little clip says it all: What an idiot, right? I mean ALL the Lefty blogs and news channels are claiming so, from Think Progress [...]

Obama Seal Action Figure? **OPEN THREAD** »

I barely know what to say about this:

Russ Feingold and MoveOn Finally Notice Crony Capitalism with GE’s Jeffrey Immelt: Want to Oust Him From White House Jobs Council »

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.

“Scurrilous” »

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 [...]

Obama’s MSM-Bestowed Halo Continues To Slip »

Yes, indeedy, as time goes by, the media is starting to shake off its KoolAide induced haze, and are beginning to see that – SURPRISE – Obama is a (Chicago-style) politician!! Wow! Who knew? Ahem.

We Don’t Blame You, Pat »

Sajak, that is. Mr. Sajak was kind enough to issue an apology recently for Keith Olbermann. Why, you might ask? Many years ago, Mr. Sajak often had Olbermann on his show as a sports analyst. He enjoyed his wry sense of humor and intellect. Hey, so did I, in all honesty.I used to DVR “Countdown,” [...]

What Change Has Wrought »

Many of us who refrained from drinking the Kool-Aid or smoking the Hopium pipe have commented on all of the “changes” we have gotten under Obama. You know, the high unemployment, rampant foreclosures, runaway debt, deficit spending, and broken promise after broken promise. But there is one other “change” that has reared its ugly head [...]

Pet Peeves »

… is when someone tells me that I am flat-out wrong on a statement of fact, not even entertaining for a second that I could be right, and when shown proof positive, still acts skeptical. Or having my personal experience as a woman (or lesbian) discounted precisely because I am a woman (and a lesbian). [...]
