I freely admit, I did not see this one coming. My friend and fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, shared the following article with me, most appropos for bringing to an end Women’s History Month. And that would be this Bloomberg article, Saudi Women Inspired by Fall of Mubarak Step Up Equality Demand. Wow, right? Honestly, [...]

That would be President Obama in his recent press conference. Now I understand why this “eloquent” “brilliant” “orator” does not do more of these things. Wow. We thought Bush was bad. But eve Bush never pitted one American citizen against another like this: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com Obama said claimed that the [...]

There is much going on in the US right now, from the oil spill in Louisiana (horrible, devastating, especially to such a sensitive area that has been fighting to come back), the floods in Tennessee, which damaged the Grand Ole Opry, and more importantly, took lives, as well as floods in Kentucky, to the failed [...]

When NQ faithful reader, Doc99, sent me this article, I had to check that it wasn’t from The Onion, or any other satire site. But no, this is for real, “Mormons Throw Support Behind Gay-Rights Cause.” Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Sure never saw THAT one coming. I’ll give you a moment to recover [...]

Dear Mr. President: I read a post on the Whitehouse blog called “Facts Are Stubborn Things” that said: Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to “uncover” the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions. And that: There is a lot of disinformation about health [...]

There is a gaping hole in our recovery and more and more of Main Street America is falling through it. And that gaping hole is JOBS. Or more accurately, the place where JOBS should be. The price of U.S. recession is paid in jobs In the current recession, economists say high unemployment is likely to [...]

I’m not sure I know anymore. Nor am I, after the events of this last year, one to tout party loyalty. But I can’t help thinking that it is a huge plus for all Pennsylvanians to have more than one Democratic party choice. Representative Joe Sestak (D-PA), who is conducting an exploratory tour of Pennsylvania’s [...]

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, found this article, which she kindly shared with me. It is quite an interesting take on why some women are so threatened by, um, no, wait, that’s not how the author, Ann Marlowe, would phrase it. More for her, why they don’t like her, as the title, “Why [...]

Strange how it continues to happen, time after time. He does bad (American Girl in Italy has a great piece here), but the guns turn on her. Why? Because she’s fair game. Yes, it’s all her fault. Not only is the media actively working overtime to shrug off, ignore or try to explain away his [...]

The Democrats are celebrating, Republicans are lamenting and MSM are excitedly analyzing every nuanced angle of every political strategy imaginable over Arlen Specters decision to switch his nearly four decade affiliation as a Republican to that of a Democrat. An excerpt from his statement earlier today in the WSJ: I am not making this decision [...]

And it will make you smile. Okay it doesn’t hurt that it’s paired with a catchy tune. Still, I’ll bet you can’t play this only once. But Keepon, the little yellow spongiform “peeps” looking robot, has developed a more serious side – dealing with autism.

h/t Susan One of the earliest books I remember checking out of the library as a child, was a biography of the President and Mrs Franklin Roosevelt. Since biographies of women in politics, were virtually unknown at that time, it left a lasting impression. And well, I’ve pretty much been an Eleanor fan ever since. [...]

Personally, I’m just a little frustrated that the American people are not being enlisted as builders of our own future. It’s as if we were the fourth leg on that three legged stool everyone kept trying to construct. Only we got thrown out with the packaging materials and the instructions!
