You Want Me to Sit this Election Out? Nominate Rick Santorum. »

* Bumped Up from January 8 * In the name of defeating a president who is clearly bad for our economy, who champions crony capitalism and continues, even escalates, some of the worst of George W. Bush’s policies, disaffected Democrats are willing to vote for a Republican – but not anyone. Ex-Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, [...]

I Don’t Think I Can Stomach Another Round **Updated** »

* Bumped Up * Update below the fold. Of Obama campaigning. Yes, he has already started for his re-election. Blech. Oh, he just happened to show up at the Lincoln Memorial after the 11th hour agreement on the budget vote, running around, glad handing, acting like he was the one who wrote the damn thing:

This Is Some Stand-Up White House – Not »

During the Primary and Election campaigns, many of us felt that the Obama Campaign was getting Google to do its bidding for specific searches. Evidently, it wasn’t just a wild conspiracy theory, according to this article by Ken Boehm, White House Staffer Who Did Favors For Google Must Resign: In a letter today to President [...]

The FOX Factor »

Every now and then there are moments in the American media that defy description. Nevertheless they must be addressed. Case in point: Washington Post “media critic” Howard Kurtz’s article today about FOX News Channel’s “reporters’” growing discomfort with the shenanigans of FNC darling Glenn Beck, he of the mighty chalkboard of insanity, his ludicrous fits [...]

American Idol »

There’s a special genre of publication that caters exclusively to excitable, starstruck young women. “Tiger Beat”, “Bop” and “16″ are fluffy magazines tailored to satisfy the swoony dreams of adolescents as they fantasize about the teen idol de jour. The packaging of a fantasy is an art in and of itself cleverly crafted by publicists, [...]

Are Democrats Finally Getting A Clue? »

~ Bumped Up ~ Yes, and no. They realize they need to change how the primaries are conducted, yet don’t see any real problems with how the last one went. I have written about the rampant Caucus fraud ad nauseum, but apparently, the DNC missed it. Even though the Clinton Campaign told them about it. [...]

Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

(Bumped up from 10/15) Okay, I admit it – I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to [...]

Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

Okay, I admit it – I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to be honest. It makes [...]

John Edwards Is Told Where To Get Off… »

I would not typically publish a further smack-down to a smack-down. But every now and then, something is written that is so spot on, it requires further highlight and big hooting Brava! Susan Estrich today published just such a piece telling Senator John Edwards what he ought to be doing. Here’s the long and the [...]

Blackwater (Xe) Should Roll No More »

Many of us were up in arms that Blackwater, a private “security” force was sent to Iraq, and New Orleans, while being paid handsomely with our tax dollars. There were a number of concerns with Blackwater, particularly how they were operating in Iraq with impunity, accused of being a bunch of cowboys shooting up the [...]

sanford saga – i’m more interested in who brought him down…. »

Love letters between Mark Sanford and his *secret Latin lady lover* were printed yesterday in The State. The South Carolina paper reported that they have been holding onto the emails for six months, and were provided by an anonymous source. Who is that source? (And how gross is that to print personal emails like that? [...]

Barack Hussein Obama Plays the Muslim Card »

To get elected in a Christian country, Barack Obama insisted he was born and raised a devoted Christian. But put him on a world stage and his craving for global adulation compels him to come clean and admit he has done that muslim thing. Let’s be frank, Barack’s burning ambition to gain military and geographic [...]

Michelle is NOT “arm candy.” She … »

(coughing, sputtering) … Michelle will … (gasping) … she will … (choking) … Michelle will … (reaching for phone) … Michelle … (fingers trailing off phone before 911 can be dialed) … Meeeee … (lapsing into unconsciousness, seeing a white light surrounding Hillary dressed in a tasteful cream-colored suit at an official tea with both [...]

Both Candidates Briefed by White House But Cocky Obama Sees It as “A Smooth Transition” »

This guy deserves to go down in flames by one state and one vote on November 4th just for spite. White House staff have met with both presidential candidates and their senior staffs to brief them on possible terrorist threats and current National Security issues between election day and January. Vetting of potential presidential staff [...]
