Obama: Words vs. Deeds »

President Barack “I’m a warrior for the middle class” Obama may talk the talk, but his lifestyle is rather atypical of how 99.9% of the middle class lives. There are the swelling numbers of unemployed now homeless, including military veterans. Now students are joining the ranks of the homeless. There is no government funding for [...]

Say What? The Obama Administration Was Tough On Women? »

Say it isn’t so! How can this possibly be that the Man Who Would Be King allowed women to be treated like complete and utter crap in his Administration? What a surprise! What a shock! How in the world could this man who had done so much for women allowed this to happen within his [...]

“If You Love Me…” *Open Thread* »

You know about what I am talking – Obama’s exhortation to a bunch of college kids to tell Congress to pass his bill because they love him. Probably the worst reason on the face of the planet to pass legislation using a bill that the president insists be signed in its entirety, without studying the [...]

If You Can Read This… »

Chances are 50-50 you probably aren’t from Detroit. As it turns out, about half of the adult population in Detroit is functionally illiterate. Almost HALF. That is a staggering number. How in the sam hill can that possibly be? I am serious – how in the world, in the United States of America, can this [...]

A Clinton/Obama Trip Down Memory Lane With WalMart »

* Bumped Up * You may recall during the 2008 Democratic Primary Campaign, Hillary Clinton was attacked by Barack Obama about her connections to Wal-Mart while First Lady of Arkansas. Oh, yes, he got just a tad testy as she was highlighting his constant “WORM”-ing (What Obama Really Meant). So he lashed out at her. [...]

On Behalf of Women In Politics »

Bitch. Whore. Stupid. Hot. Disabled. Shrill. Mean Girl. Hag. Diva. Ice Queen. Slut. The midterm elections of 2010 brought back a familiar rage and sick, queasy feeling as I watched women on both sides of the aisle being devalued with sexist diatribes. The hateful rhetoric that defined much of the 2008 presidential campaign was not [...]

Must Be Nice To Jet Around On Someone Else’s Dime [UPDATES] »

/ Bumped Up / UPDATE: Two of them, actually. Since I am in my hometown after having seen my orthopaedist, and have to get something from my mom’s house (now my brother’s house), I have this on the jobs front. This came in on Friday, to add to the high Unemployment filings for the last [...]

A Private Jet And A Car Care Tool »

One would be hard pressed these days to not know that many people in this country are struggling. New Unemployment claims continue to be over 400,000 weekly, and unemployment benefits have been extended to 99 weeks (yes, almost 2 years). The DOW continues to hover around 10,000. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing. People are struggling, they [...]

The NAACP Resolves: You Tea Partiers Are A Bunch Of Racists!!! UPDATED »

Especially if you consider yourself a Tea Party member. Yep, the day after Michelle Obama went and hung out with the NAACP leadership, the NAACP declared the Tea Party one big bunch of racists. All right, they said maybe it wasn’t ALL Tea Party members, just the ones who want to return to “the pre-civil [...]

Should Michelle Obama Have Brought Her Daughters Into A Discussion of Obesity? »

The First Lady is getting her share of grief for mentioning her daughters while discussing obesity. ABC News reports in their article, Did Michelle Obama Send the Wrong Message With Obesity Comments?: The first lady made the issue of healthy eating personal last week at an event in Alexandria, Va., where she kicked off a [...]

What A Bunch Of Racist Hicks Here In South Cackalacky »

At least according to my representative, Jim Clyburn. Let me just say that this is not at ALL what I had planned to write about this morning. I was going to write about the Senate Finance Committee voting on a bill that hasn’t even been written out yet, more a theoretical bill, if you will [...]

Mr. President, Why Did You Want This Job? »

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the sun [...]

Are You Tired Of Seeing… »

Photos like this every single day, especially as The One Who Thinks He Is King and his wife, thought their awesomeness would win Chicago the 2016 Olympics:

And Which One Is Lying Here? »

A classic case of “She said, he said,” is what we have here, that’s for sure. This next video (courtesy of longtime reader, SFIndie) illustrates the conundrum: Um, it seems to me that if you happen to be the President of the United States, maybe you could appoint a Fact Checking Czar to go with [...]

surviving the bad economy: grow your own! »

Two months ago I decided to try and plant some tomatoes on my terrace. I have been craving a garden for years, but lacking a yard, I didn’t think I could grow fresh veggies. Well, I decied to give it a go, and boy – did it work! This is my terrace on May 4. [...]
