Tea partiers have pundits and politicians heads spinning. The movement keeps growing. The defy description or easy characterization. First insulted with the sexual slur “teabaggers,” called racist, extremist, angry white men and every other nasty name in the book, recent polling has determined they are quite representative of American demographics, many are well educated and [...]

In almost every briefing pertaining to South Asia, the U.S. Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Richard Holbrooke says that he won’t use the ‘K word,’ by which he means Kashmir. This is sensible of him, knowing that any statement could escalate into an exchange of hot words between India and Pakistan (and India [...]

If you have followed my writings for a while, you know that I was a huge fan of Paul Krugman’s. His columns were insightful, based on sound economic principles and facts. But then something changed once Hillary Clinton was shoved out of the process by the DNC – he immersed himself in the Kool Aide, [...]

Hey, folks – Since so many of you have provided some really great news stories in the Comments section, we wanted to highlight a few of them and let you all discuss them.

* Bumped Up * For some folks at MSNBC? Seems like it, given this recent departure. Craig Crawford, an MSNBC mainstay, has quit the network, even leaving before his contract was out. Wait until you read why that is in this article, MSNBC Political Analyst Craig Crawford Has Left the Network – In A Very [...]

Speaker Pelosi was interviewed by Elizabeth Vargas of ABC News and actually had the temerity to say that while the Tea Party movement was in great part co-opted by the Republicans, she agreed with some of its views, particularly in regard t special interests. M’kay. Vargas apparently did not feel the need to challenge the [...]

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it was a [...]

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges. Turns out I am not the only one who wonders [...]

Okay, I admit it – I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to be honest. It makes [...]

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 – 2 [...]

You know the drill – the liberal media has been smearing the Right and opponents of HCR calling them racist teabaggers. Now they are obsessed with swastikas and people displaying posters of Obama as Hitler. (Funny how none of them mention all the Bushitler attacks we saw the last eight years.) But, what do ya [...]

Newsbusters: MSNBC Picks Up WaPo Article Claiming Obama Joker Poster Racist CONTESSA BREWER: Is a poster of the President as the Joker racist? The posters in Los Angeles and elsewhere show the President as The Dark Knight version of the Joker above the word ‘socialism,’ you see it there. Except nobody seems to know who [...]
