More and more has come out about Nidal Malik Hasan and what appears to be a cold-blooded assassination of 13 people at Fort Hood, 12 military, one civilian, and 28 wounded. The biggest piece of news for me this morning was finding out that Hasan was still alive, and one of the wounded. [...]

This is rich. We know about Obama’s many, many czars. Mark Steyn believes Obama has another one, someone of whom you have heard, but who isn’t on the usual list,
Obama Makes Bush His Blame Czar. You know, he has a point - we’ve been hearing for months now “He [...]

It’s been exactly a year since Barack Obama was elected President. In only one word, describe how you feel today.

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, the man who stood on the floor of the House and said ‘Republicans want you to die’ just got himself into a little tepid water for making saying that:
Linda Robertson, an adviser to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, [is] “a K Street whore.”

Tonight kicks off the World Series. The Phillies meet the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, with the game starting at 7:57 (why do they pick such weird times?). The game will be broadcast on Fox (sadly - that means having to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck go on and on. No [...]

General McChrystal’s proposal for Afghanistan has been on Obama’s desk for almost two months now. And what is Obama doing about it? Well, he appears to be deciding on how to decide what his decision will be, but he’s not there yet. Nope, instead, he is throwing up some smokescreen [...]

MSNBC carried a blip of President Obama speaking in New York at a fundraiser. Sadly, the President is up to his old tricks. Remember when he was at a hoity-toity fundraiser in San Francisco and complained of Pennsylvania voters “clinging to God and guns”? That didn’t go over so well. [...]

With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry [...]

You know, the night the Yankees clinch the American League Championship? They lead the series 3 - 1 over the Angels, and HOPEFULLY, will win again tonight to meet the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. The Phillies, in case you missed it, closed out the National League Championship over the LA Dodgers [...]

MSNBC is devoting the week to news and opinion stories on the dramatically shifting power and influence of women in America. The week’s reports, led by Maria Shriver and John Podesta, is called “A Woman’s Nation.” Below you’ll find videos of two segments that contain impressive statistics on the growing [...]

Thus proclaims the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Of course, many of us actually knew this already, or strongly suspected that was the case. How nice to have someone in Obama’s administration, someone pretty high up,confirm it:
President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating [...]

Well, Obama is pandering to the GLBT community again. He gave a speech to the Human RIghts Campaign Friday, October 9th. Personally, I think he was trying to ward off the big-ass march planned against him in DC byt the GLBT community. It didn’t work, I might add. Seems some folks [...]

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news [...]

Almost everyone agrees that our financial system is broken. That our government is complicit in this broken system. That the American economy and the American people are suffering the consequences. And most people would even agree that it will take limits on capitalism and greed to fix it. So why hasn’t [...]
