This has got to be read to be believed. I know that the Washington Post is hard up for cash, but as Politico reports:
Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an [...]

Oh, the irony is just too rich. Some of you may have heard that President Obama decided the other day, after getting hammered by the LGBT community over DADT and DOMA, to grant LGB federal employees partner benefits by Executive Decision. Kind of. First, it begs the question, if he could have [...]

You know, it being GLBT Pride Month and all, as Obama the Backstabber declared the other day - copying Hillary Clinton, ONCE AGAIN, after she acknowledged the 40th Anniversary of Stonewall (”Cheney Two, Obama Nothing, Clinton - a Thousand,” and “In Recognition of LGBT Pride Month“), the posts keep writing themselves. We already have [...]

Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…:
President Obama should just join the cast [...]

(bumped up from yesterday)
As some of you know, my mother suffered a stroke recently. I am currently in my home town spending time with her and getting her house in order. As a result, I rushed a recent post on “DADT” I wrote in order to get to the nursing center in a timely [...]

While I have long thought VP Dick Cheney was the devil incarnate, no one ever said he wasn’t a smart guy. Cheney was also arguably our most unpopular Vice President evah! He looked to be hiding out in a bunker most of the eight years President Bush was in office, and was probably [...]

Once again, Obama has found a way to NOT let the buck stop with him - he is proving to be quite adept at finding a way to not take a stand on stands he has previously taken. I know - it makes my head hurt, too, but that’s the reality of it. [...]

You’re a bunch of friggin’ idiots. As if Obama’s broken promises on FISA, Guantanamo, Iraq, military tribunals and _____ (just add to the list) weren’t enough to convince you — as well as your appointment of Ken Salazar, a proponent of Bush-era environmental standards and an opponent of wildlife protection, as Secretary of the [...]

According to Jake Tapper at ABC News:
President Obama met with White House counsel Greg Craig and other members of the White House counsel team last week and told them that he had second thoughts about the decision to hand over photographs of detainee abuse to the ACLU, per a judge’s order, and had changed his [...]

The issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is in the news again after the dismissal of a gay Army Arabic linguist recently (H/T to American Girl in Italy), as Steve Clemons mentioned in his post, “Do Obama’s Private Promises on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Matter?“). Below is an interesting history of how the act [...]

Talk about your marketing ploy, which I, along with others, have been doing for a while now (most recently, “The Campaign’s Over, Obama: It’s Time To Lead“). But the incomparable Chris Hedges has done a remarkable job at highlighting just exactly how true that is (and it is true - his campaign won the [...]

Is that all? Sigh - it seems like this has been going on forever. Maybe it’s just the MSM’s continued fawning over Obama, like yelling to the rafters what a HIGH poll number he has. Okay, it is more than half, but they are going this nuts over 56%? Seriously??? [...]

Please adjust my goggles if I am incorrect, but isn’t Truthout.org that progressive publication that was forever calling President Bush and his administration out on the carpet for their many ills? Now Marc Ash of Truthout writes a powerful rant targeting the new administration called This Isn’t Working. I know there have been [...]

From NARAL’s website:
Today Governor Kaine [DNC Chair] announced that he will sign SB 817, which authorizes the creation of a “Choose Life” license plate and will funnel thousands of dollars to anti-choice, deceptive “crisis pregnancy centers.” “We are disappointed that Governor Kaine refused to recognize that when faced with an unintended pregnancy, women need [...]

David Axelrod manufactures commodities, not politicians: they don suits; they read teleprompters; they promise something new and unprecedented; but these newfangled objects cannot govern. No, I am not referring to Barack Obama, although this news does not bode well for Axelrod’s latest product; I am discussing Deval Patrick, who according to a 7News [...]

It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those [...]

Richard Lowry, from NRO, just nailed Obama in three easy steps.
Denounce. Pretend. Adopt.
How many times have we seen Obama do this? FISA, Iraq withdrawl, signing statements, rendition, earmarks, spending…taxing health care benefits?!?
What else?

At the end of last summer, John McCain stated, “The fundamentals of the economy are strong.”
“You know,” said McCain, “there’s been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street and it is — people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still the fundamentals of our economy are strong. But [...]
