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 [...]

On the eve of Veteran’s Day, 500 service people have been discharged from the military under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” A policy Campaigner in Chief, Barack Obama, claimed he would end once he became Waffler In Chief. In the first actual interview with the GLBT media The Advocate during the campaign, he said:
I reasonably [...]

Most of us know that there are many positions, like being an ambassador to, say France and Monaco, is often a payback for the person giving tons of money to the candidate. Well, guess what? Not only is Obama doing just that, but the man who claimed to bring “change to Washington” has [...]

Well, Obama is pandering to the GLBT community again. He gave a speech to the Human RIghts Campaign Friday, October 9th. Personally, I think he was trying to ward off the big-ass march planned against him in DC byt the GLBT community. It didn’t work, I might add. Seems some folks [...]

Dr. Sima Samar. Now, some of you may know who she is already. For those who do not, or for those who are want to learn more, this is for you. (H/t to my aunt for sending me a mini biography on her, and to American Girl in Italy for mentioning her [...]

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

That’s the headline I saw Monday morning at AOL . Of course my response was, “Whaaa” For real?? How fortuitous since General McChrystal is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan! Is this true??” And then I read the article. The short answer is, “No.”
Here is the [...]

Flopping Aces had a great post up this week about Obama’s empty words and dare I say, lies. It really points out how empty Obama’s promises were/are when it comes to bipartisanship, and the truth about what is going on in Washington.
Congressmen Took Obama At His Word Over Invite to Review Health Bill “Line [...]

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. [...]

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this Editorial in the New York Times, “A Threat To Fair Elections“. With great excitement, I began to read, wondering if they were FINALLY going to start addressing some of the issues from this past election (not to mention the two previous ones). You [...]

Camille Paglia’s article in Salon, Too late for Obama to turn it around? is a scathing assessment which drips disappointment and dare I say it, a sense of betrayal. Most surprising is that eight months after Obama’s inauguration, this accomplished writer has arrived at the same place most of us were 18 months ago [...]

ABC’s Jake Tapper reported last night that the President’s Political Arm Follows His Lead in Drumming Up Support for Health Care Reform Push — by Criticizing Media.
In his August 20, 2009, meeting with supporters at the Democratic National Committee and its “Organizing for America” (OFA) arm – formerly the “Obama for America” campaign – President [...]

Actor/author/director/satirist Harry Shearer wrote an excellent commentary for CNN about his “adopted hometown: “Does Obama Care About New Orleans.” First he discussed the encouraging news that the city is becoming a leader in charter school enrollment, working to clean up local politics and is a city once again “throbbing with energy” but then [...]

My good friend and neighbor, let’s call him, Roger, depends entirely on his pitifully small Social Security check as well as Medicare. He called up his senators and representative yesterday, and also sent all three of them this e-mail:
I am stunned that the Obama administration has the nerve to refuse to give senior and [...]

Yes, yes he has. Here’s the video of TYT pondering this question in light of the recent “revelations” of Obama’s duplicity:

Faithful NQ reader, CG, mentioned recently that the Washington Post actually did a very nice article on Secretary Clinton’s recent trip to Africa. Well, you coulda knocked me over with a feather. This morning, in my daily “DipBlog” from the State Department, sure enough, there it was, along with a link to an [...]

At the Netroot Nations ‘09 meeting recently, there was an interaction between President Bill Clinton and a member of the audience. During Clinton’s speech, this man stood up to ask him some questions. I mean in the middle of Clinton’s speech. Major H/T to my NQ fellow writer, pm317 for the following video. [...]

Normally I would never quote Frank Rich. Endless copy excoriating Hillary Clinton in favor of Barack Obama during the primaries rendered his columns unreadable. Imagine my surprise to see Mr. Rich put down the Kool-Aid jug for a moment in his NY Times offering, Is Obama Punking Us. Let me start by [...]

You know that during the Campaign, I said a number of times that Obama was the REAL Bush II, not Clinton, and not McCain (for instance, here, here, and here). Many of us saw that writing on the wall as one similarity after another came out.
Well, here is another one: Signing Statements. Yes, the [...]

Mickey Edwards’ weekend editorial in the LA Times, The (political) party is over, states that
…“the parties once served a purpose, but they have degenerated into a system that discourages independent thought and undermines representative government” and “…loyalty to one’s political club often seems to trump objective decision-making.”
Amen. This is nothing new, however. [...]
