It’s All About The Connections »

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 [...]

good news, obama really didn’t know what wright was preaching all those years. »

By American Girl in Italy on Jun 18, 2009 in Bamboozling, Current Affairs, Hoodwinking, Obama's Illinois Associates, Pandering, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Sara in Italy | 130 Comments

Apparently Obama really didn’t know all the vile hate Reverend Wright was preaching at Trinity United. He just lied about being a faithful churchgoer to garner votes. It was all just a big fabrication to make Obama out to be the good christian, who attended church every Sunday, at 11am.

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??? [...]

“The Campaign’s Over, Obama; It’s Time To Lead” »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Apr 29, 2009 in Alice Palmer, Armenian Genocide, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Illinois senate, Intelligence, Legislative Achievements, Turkey | 57 Comments

Thus writes John Kass in the excellent article by the same name, The campaign’s over, Obama; it’s time to lead (Major h/t to my friend, SusanUnPC for the heads up on this article). No freakin’ kidding - Obama needs to stop with all of the damn press conferences (can you believe he is getting [...]

Jane Harman and Rod Blagojevich »

(Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for Part II later this evening.)
CQ Politics:
"Rep. Jane Harman, the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs [...]

Is He Kidding, Or Unclear On The Concept? »

You don’t have to be a Yankees fan (which I am) to have heard the recent brouhaha over Alex Rodriquez (I’m a Derek Jeter fan myself), and his acknowledgment that he used steroids back in 2001 - 2003. It is disturbing, of course - I deplore the use of steroids in baseball (though at [...]

On the eve of Obama’s historic inauguration, the Democrats allowed themselves to be outfoxed by a craven scum eater.

Open Thread * The Media Need an Editor * What’s the Big Deal with This New Senator? Why the Cameras? The Fuss? »

By SusanUnPC on Jan 16, 2009 in Advertising, Illinois, Illinois senate, Inauguration Day | 26 Comments

What in the hell? MSNBC is advertising about its coverage of Inauguration Day, saying:
In the nation’s capitol, on the brink of history, the hour approaches …
If January 20th marks the “brink of history,” what have we been living in so far? And won’t the Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians be just a [...]

I Just Cannot Keep Up »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jan 8, 2009 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Harry Reid, Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, US Senate | 61 Comments

I bet Roland Burris can’t either. First, according to NBC Chicago, Obama “forcefully” sided with the Senate, and Harry “No One Gets To Come Into My Clubhouse If I Don’t Want Them Here” Reid, saying that while Burris is a good man, he wasn’t going to get the secret handshake to gain admittance.

Harry, Harry, Harry. What’s up with you, man?
Say this is not true.
You tell us that armed guards are going to keep Roland Burris from taking his seat. One strike.
But Harry, now this?
Days before Gov. Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, top Senate [...]

The Lines Are Buzzing… »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jan 2, 2009 in Backtrack Obama, Caroline Kennedy, Chicago politics, Hillary Clinton, Illinois senate, New York State, Rod Blagojevich | 26 Comments

With the possibility that Paterson will pick Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg after all. Sigh. Between the crapola with Burris and Kennedy, I scarcely recognize our form of government any more. But it is not yet a done deal on Kennedy Schlossberg, so this isn’t about that specifically.
Rather, I want to share [...]

The Nocturnal Warrior’s Christmas Poem »

(Author’s note: This is the text of the poem as read on the Nocturnal Warrior Show, Tuesday Night on the NQR Blog Talk Radio Channel. For the full effect of the poem, it is best to actually hear the author recite it. Especially after he has had a shot of Wild Turkey. [...]

Nocturnal Warrior’s Sunday Roundup »

By RobWarrior on Dec 22, 2008 in Bush/Cheney, Caroline Kennedy, Current Affairs, Rod Blagojevich | 61 Comments

It’s been quite a week!
ITEM: Illinois Governor Rod Blagoevich says he has done nothing wrong and vows to remain in office:

“It’s begining to look a lot like Fiztmas. Everywhere you go. Take a look a look at all the hacks, trying to watch their backs before Blago takes the stand and lets [...]

Selling Influence or Perceived Entitlement: Which is More Shoddy? »

By Pat Racimora on Dec 19, 2008 in Caroline Kennedy, Current Affairs, Rod Blagojevich | 64 Comments

Governor Rod Blagojevich apparently has been trying to sell Obama’s Senate vacated seat. Shameful!
Then along comes Caroline Kennedy (Schlossberg) who appears to believe that genealogy is sufficient to take over Hillary’s Senate seat.
This all stinks. I see them in my mind’s eye as little children who both belong somewhere other than [...]

Huh - I Guess It WAS Sexism After All… »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 17, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Ed Rendell, Hillary Clinton, Obama Comrades, Obama's Cabinet, Rahm Emanuel, Rod Blagojevich | 26 Comments

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 [...]

I saw this headline in my local paper, “Illinois Corruption: Deep Roots, Tough to Weed Out” an AP piece by Sharon Cohen. In this piece, she details the long, long history of corruption in Chicago, and Illinois, politics. Also in this lengthy article, the only mention of Obama, the man who chose to [...]

Can There Be Enough On Blagojevich? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 16, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Current Affairs, Rod Blagojevich | 28 Comments

Um, no - no there can’t! This whole corruption issue is a mighty big one, for Illinois, the country, and the PEBO. The following is a pretty good video at encapsulating some of the players involved. I might add, the maker of this video (and the others following) has a point I [...]
