We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off. Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax cheats. [...]

FYI: The Afalfa dinner is “an annual black-tie event where the capital’s political and business leaders give humorous speeches.” WORST JOKE TOLD (by Sen. Joe Lieberman): “Lieberman, who also spoke, ‘noted that former vice president Richard B. Cheney injured himself while moving into his new home, according to a source inside the dinner. “I had [...]

This is an economics warm-up! Check in after 9:00 a.m. today for Larry Doyle’s terrific “Central Station” where you can quiz Larry, who’s also known as LD, on everything to do with economics. (And, if you missed it last night, you have to read LD’s original investigative journalism on SEC Chair nominee Mary Schapiro, a [...]

According to John Kass in this VERY good piece from January 9, Chickens Dancing, Roosting in 5th District (major H/T to KenoshaMarge via NH). I tell you, that is one courageous man given how so many of Obama’s critics, or people close to him, are silenced tout suite. But that as not stopped Kass. He [...]

Andy Borowitz had the following as his post on January 8. FINALLY, someone acknowledges the power of Obama’s oration: “Obama Hopes to Calm Americans With Series of Boring Speeches, Economic Address Contains Opposite of Stimulus: Hoping to calm a nation whose nerves have been rattled by economic woes, President-elect Barack Obama today delivered the first [...]

When Gov. Rendell made his obnoxious comment about Gov. Janet Napolitano. You may remember it from this Campbell Brown video: Well, despite his protestations to the contrary, when Gov. Rendell decided to endorse CHRIS MATTHEWS in his run for the 2010 US Senate run in PA, he pretty much sealed his own place in the [...]

(bumped up by nasuS) [Truthteller's piece is terrific. I've added the latest video from the guys at the Nose On Your Face at the end. I think it is a dandy companion for this piece.] Barack Obama on Thursday stated the following: “I have never spoken to the governor on this subject. I am confident [...]

My blog is Global Labor and Politics. You may read my other posts at NoQuarterUSA.net here. Obama is clearly losing goodwill points every day that Blago-gate drags [...]

Times Online reports calls for Emanuel’s resignation as Obama’s Chief of Staff. I quote with emphasis: THE bullish, foul-mouthed but effective Chicago arm-twister Rahm Emanuel has come under pressure to resign as Barack Obama’s chief of staff after it was revealed that he had been captured on court-approved wire-taps discussing the names of candidates for [...]

I must admit to being very worried at this point in time. Once again, Obama is “sobered and saddened’ by the horrid revelations surrounding the arrest of Governor Blagojevich, and once again, P.E. Obama seems to be contradicting himself and/or his campaign manager about meetings or conversations that took place or did not take place [...]

Obama’s leadership and executive experience is, well, skinny, and some of his past decisions have been stupid at best and iniquitous at worst. However, Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, offered his definition of the job of running our country: “All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who [...]

1)Time magazine has an update on the disturbing case of Alabama governor Don Siegelman. If you’ve not been following this story lately, it’s worth a look, as it is one of the most egregious cases of political-turned-into-criminal take downs I’ve ever seen. Next month in Atlanta, a federal court will hear the high-profile appeal of [...]

Just a thought: Have any of the rest of you gotten so that when Fox News reports on Casey Anthony*, you’re anxious to hear the latest? I’m laughing out loud. No, it’s a fleeting thing, honestly! I assure you! But it’s kind of a relief after all those endless days of polls and analyses and [...]

I wanted to wait for a few days before commenting on the import of the election of Barack Obama. As longtime readers of NoQuarter know firsthand, Barack’s skin color has been completely irrelevant to the question of his qualification to be President. He is a quintessential enigma wrapped in a conundrum (i.e., an inscrutable mystery [...]

Thanks to New Hampster, we have this little tidbit of info, and I hear that the Daily Kossacks are having a HISSY FIT about Emanuel getting this job — those dopes — we tried to tell you KoolAid dipsomaniacs and thugs! At best, Barack Obama is an ordinary politician. At worst, he is so wholly [...]
