Some quick headlines for your Sunday. Of course, there was the big debate Saturday night, and you can check into Bronwyn’s piece to see discussion on who said what, who scored, and who missed. As usual, there were a few missteps, but also some points scored. Here’s a story that made our headlines. The NAACP [...]

Oh, this is rich, In yet another breach of protocol, the White House has crafted an interview with SCOTUS Nominee, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, as this article highlights, Kagan’s Video on White House Blog.

Yet another crack in the Obama devotion from many in the MSM is surfacing. My colleague, Linda Anselmi, came across this article recently, and passed it on. This time, the focus is Obama’s bullying tendencies. This is not a new concept to me – I have been writing about what a bully Obama is since [...]

Bumped up with and Update at the bottom of the post. Yes, Obama laid blame at the feet of just about everyone but himself last night during his SOTU. “The Buck Stops Here” moment was very short-lived, was it not? It’s Bush’s fault about the banks, even though Senator Obama voted to bail them out; [...]

Another Take On The Recent Supreme Court Decision »

My friend from Hand Count Paper Ballots Now, Kathleen Wynne, recently wrote this fine piece, “How The American People Can Defeat Unlimited Corporate Money and Influence in Elections” with her colleague, Karen Renick. She was kind enough to allow me to reprint it here in its entirety below: “There is a dangerous, misguided movement out [...]

Wassup With The Supremes? »

Okay, just what the hell is in the water in Washington, D.C.? Can someone, ANYONE, please tell me how a Corporation = Human? Seriously, because I’m not seeing it. I cannot imagine what kind of machinations through which the Supreme Court went to come to the conclusion that it is unconstitutional to limit corporations from [...]

Should It Stay Or Should It Go? »

Recently, I got an email from my old friend, C., with a link to an article at CNN. The article was, “High Court To Decide If War Memorial Violates the Constitution.” It being Sunday and all, I thought this might be a good time to discuss this. If you are unfamiliar with the case, the [...]

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this Editorial in the New York Times, “A Threat To Fair Elections“. With great excitement, I began to read, wondering if they were FINALLY going to start addressing some of the issues from this past election (not to mention the two previous ones). You know, some [...]

Maybe Obama Should Have Watched More “West Wing”? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 15, 2009 in Current Affairs, President Barack Obama, Souter Vacancy, Supreme Court | View Comments

I’m speaking of Obama, of course (h/t to Gateway Pundit for the video). Now some of you know I am a big baseball fan, as well as a big “West Wing” fan, along with other writers here (talking about you, Bronwyn!), so when I see this:

The Supremes And The Disturbed »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 14, 2009 in Barack Obama, Chicago, Current Affairs, Souter Vacancy, Supreme Court | View Comments

As I type, Judge Sonia Sotomayor is appearing before the US Senate as she continues the arduous process of confirmation for the US Supreme Court. I look forward to seeing what comes out in her (well rehearsed) answers, and to learning more about her. Do I think she should be confirmed? I don’t know yet, [...]

Frank Ricci Speaks Out »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 1, 2009 in Current Affairs, Media, Race Card, Souter Vacancy, Supreme Court | View Comments

Fellow NQ writer, LisaB, has covered the issue of the SCOTUS and the New Haven Firefighters, but this video contained information I had not previously heard: So, there WERE African Americans and Hispanics who passed the exam, too, something previously unreported. As Mr. Ricci said, the press did NOT do its job, accepting as fact [...]

Searching Savana »

Middle School was the pits. The only kids who weren’t self-conscious in the extreme about their evolving bodies and appearance were those few precocious jocks destined for high school football glory. To minimize exposure of the shiny wire braces on his teeth, one of my friends refused to speak unless absolutely necessary. Another tried to [...]

No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. This animal actually said that. I just cannot believe it. I mean I really can’t believe it. I’m so pissed off I had to post this on my “day off!”. Toss another knuckle-dragging sack of crap into the pile that guarantees the Republican Party will never recover. [...]
