Is Tonight Herman Cain’s Time To Shine? »

Back in February, I wrote the post below on Herman Cain, Republican presidential candidate. With tonight’s Republican Debate, the first of the 2012 season, Herman Cain will be one of five potential candidates on stage in Greenville, SC. The debate will be moderated by Bret Baier, one of the best news-people on tv, IMHO. There [...]

Is Nancy Pelosi For Real? »

Nancy Pelosi has come out with another whopper. Honestly, I just do not understand how this woman can be so clueless, but well, she is. She is now claiming that “there is a war on women,” discussing primarily issues related to choice. And of course, this “war” is perpetrated by the Republicans. Really, Rep. Pelosi? [...]

News That Sounds Like It’s From “The Onion,” But Isn’t »

There have been a few items in the News recently that really do sound like they are straight from The Onion, but are, in fact, true. Chalk it up to the “truth is stranger than fiction” meme. Hopefully, this will provide a bit of a respite from our undeclared war on Libya, which cost us [...]

They Got Just What They Wanted »

NOTE: The Trolls are getting just what they want, too, when we respond to them. No matter how we try and reason with them, or provide facts to their lies and rumors, they will continue to incite, agitate, hurl insults, provide false information, and name-call, all in the name of hijacking these threads. With Obama [...]

What Is Time’s Mark Halperin Smoking, And Palin Speaks Out **UPDATED** »

* Bumped Up * There is no need to rehash the numerous assaults on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, or those lumped together and labeled “Conservatives” (presumably, anyone who does not have a LD – Lefty Democrat – after their name), in the wake of the Tucson shooting. From the very first press conference with [...]

“Scurrilous” »

That is the word Dr. Charles Krauthammer used to describe the attempt by the left to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for the horrible tragedy in Tucson, an action carried out by a mad man. It seems rather an appropriate term, not just for their unfounded claims, but for some of the claims [...]

Faux Media Outrage: Women Are Once Again Used as Weapons for Political Gain »

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, master of faux outrage, has once again jumped the shark with his latest righteous diatribe: In the aftermath of the shooting of 19 people in an attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., Countdown’s Keith Olbermann reminds Americans that “violence, or the threat of violence, has no place in our democracy.” This [...]

How Palin Is Responsible For Rep. Giffords Being Shot »

Or, as I like to call it, “Palin Derangement Syndrome On Steroids.” No doubt, you have already heard or read that many in the media made the leap that Gov. Sarah Palin is responsible for this assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, one of the truly good politicians. Yes, because Gov. Palin had a map [...]

“Then Give Us Our Money Back” »

You may think the title refers to the current tax battle currently going on in Congress as they decide if our taxes will go way up in 2011, or stay the same (and by the way, maintaining the same rate does not equal a “tax cut.” That is the media p[laying semantics.). But no, this [...]

Wolffe And Walters Exhibit Symptoms Of PDS »

PDS – Palin Derangement Syndrome. I know, I know, what else is new? That seems to be the case every single day recently. Yes, seems nary a day can go by without someone making some obnoxious comment about Governor Palin (oh, that reminds me – do you realize there are people in this country who [...]

What Is In The Water In Berkeley? »

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the following story about what is going on in Berkeley and a recent action there. The headline gives you a hint: “Alleged Leaker Bradley Manning: Hero To Berkeley?“. Of course, the headline refers to WikiLeaks. And the answer would be… YES!!!! By a vote of 7-3, the Peace [...]

Who Does Assange Think He Is? »

The fallout continues from the recent 250,000 cables dump of classified information from the State Department by Julian Assange of WikiLeaks infamy. Assange, as noted previously, now has a warrant out for his arrest from Interpol for allegedly raping two women in Sweden. Wow – what a great guy he is, huh? Stealing classified information, [...]

Is The HRC Bullying Willow Palin? »

* Bumped Up * You may have heard about a recent outbreak of trash-talking on Facebook between Willow Palin and a young man who allegedly went to school where the Palins do, Tre. Tre was talking smack about Willow’s mom after the premier of the TLC show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” (Palin’s show was the most [...]

Do Other Former Governors Do This? »

Recently my local paper, the Post and Courier, had an article by Yvonne Wenger about incoming SC governor, Nikki Haley. The title pretty much sums it up, Former S.C. Governors Offer Haley A Few Tips On What’s Important. I was really struck by this. The former governors, both Republican and Democrat, chimed in to tell [...]
