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 [...]

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

[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:

Calls for Rahm Emanuel’s Resignation »

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 [...]

“Illinois Guv” »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 14, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, John Edwards, Patrick Fitzgerald, Rod Blagojevich | 49 Comments

Okay, you have to admit, there has been some pretty strange stuff happening around IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and not just that most everyone can now pronounce his name. The humorist, Andy Borowitz had this take on it 12/9/08 in this satirical piece: Illinois Guv Offers Senate Seat to Arresting Officer, Daring Escape Attempt [...]

Is Anybody Else Freaked Out Yet? »

By Ani on Dec 13, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Rev. Michael Pfleger, Rod Blagojevich | 69 Comments

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 [...]
