I stumbled upon the latest Reality Check brought to you by WhiteHouse.gov. Apparently the Obama administration is still obsessing over FOX news, this time targeting Glenn Beck. They took Beck to task, providing the “REALITY” to his “RHETORIC”. I provide the *ACTUAL REALITY*.
What topic do they take issue with? His comments on Afghanistan? Health Care? [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

One might think that as a minister type, I am talking about how connected we all are, one to another, all over the world. Well, okay, there is this, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part,” one of the Seven Principles and Purposes of the UUA, to [...]

Last week, we reported about an ethics scandal brewing at the WaPo, wherein lots of backpedaling, minimizing and all around denials were the order of the day. All can be read here. Hat tip to Ed Morrissey and HotAir for closely monitoring these developments. Now, thanks to Ombudsman Andrew Alexander, today’s article [...]

I’m glad to see Mr. Walpin isn’t backing down and letting this go away.

Looks like Walpin isn’t the only Inspector General the White House is attempting to silence or fire.
Jake Tapper reports:
Behind the scenes, the Treasury Department is embroiled in a disagreement with Neil Barofsky, the watchdog for the $700 billion government bailout Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
As part of his duties performing audits and keeping [...]

Why are these happy guys celebrating? According to a disturbing story by Christopher Hayes they may have just scored lots of our hard earned tax dollars by doing something outrageous.
Let’s start from the beginning so you can see how shameful this travesty is. Black Liquor provides much of the fuel used to make [...]

I took notice that Timmy Geithner rolled out his big regulation scheme after the horses have already left the barn and are galloping free without restraints, freed from the reins, the saddles, the crops, or the boots in their bellies. Yes, the scheme arrives after he’s created a “toxic assets” plan that’s a one-sided [...]

Can you imagine the scenario in my toon actually happening? It seems ludicrous beyond words. The police would probably make a quick stop at the nearest mental facility just to assess how delusional this dumb sap is before booking him for robbery.
And yet it is exactly parallel to what is happening at [...]

Once again Obama cannot choose an appointee who is not ethically challenged.
Centrist, milquetoast Democrat Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS) hopes to resign from her position as Governor of Kansas in order to assume the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services under her friend Barack Obama. But she is yet to be confirmed for the [...]

I think Glenn Beck raises some excellent points in these two videos. The government, people like Dodd and Grassley, are trying to raise a mob to go after the AIG employees who took the bonuses. Grassley even said they should commit suicide…. Quit sending the rabid dogs after the AIG employees!
Government is buying you [...]

No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

Meet the poster boy for what’s wrong with people who control money.
While Merrill Lynch was laying off employees, cutting salaries, and heading towards a $27 billion loss for 2008, John A. Thain, the previous (and last) CEO, was redecorating his office to the tune of $1.2 million.
Here is a partial list of what [...]

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 [...]

It’s time for all of those “Something-er-other of the Year” awards. So, after all we have been through in 2008, I want to propose the Greedy Person of the Year.
Don’t get me wrong. I admire ambitious people who want to make money by earning it through honest means. What I despise are [...]

[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:

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 [...]

Please read the Criminal Complaint filed by David W. Cain, Special Agent of the FBI. Details of the conversations Blagojevich had with his operatives about Barack Obama and the possibility Barack Obama would strike several deals with Blagojevich regarding the open Senate seat are discussed, and yes, quotations are provided.

Just as Daley controlled Obama in Chicago, Daley will control Obama in Washington, DC. I quote the Chicago Tribune with added emphasis:
It didn’t take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
About 15 minutes into Chicago’s Friday presentation of its bid plans to [...]

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 [...]
