Than look at ACORN. Yet, the hits just keep on coming. There is another tape out from James O’Keefe of filmmaker James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles going to ACORN offices in an expose of the lengths to which ACORN workers will go to assist in setting up an underage prostitution ring. Here [...]

Recently, Vice President Biden reported that the Stimulus Program had created a huge number of jobs. If you have 41 minutes to spend to watch him - what the hell is the matter with you?? Oh, no wait - sorry. Ahem. I meant to say, if you have the time, you [...]

The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

Due to the tragic events at Fort Hood yesterday, this post was delayed out of respect for those who were lost and wounded. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends, and all those serving at Fort Hood.
Bleary eyed, but sated with my celebratory Belgian pecan waffles, turkey link sausages, numerous [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Oh, boy. This doesn’t look good for ACORN, not that much does these days. You may recall that Dale Rathke, one of the two founders of ACORN, had embezzled $1 million dollars, according to this NY Times article. That became the widely accepted amount, not that that embezzlement stopped our government from [...]

Wow, that Charles Krauthammer really knows how to turn a phrase. As does French President, Nicholas Sarkozy. Oh, yeah. Check out this article, Obama’s French Lesson:
“President Obama, I support the Americans’ outstretched hand. But what did the international community gain from these offers of dialogue? Nothing.”

The past few weeks, okay, MONTHS, have been fairly contentious: fights on Capitol Hill about Health Care Reform; the race card being played again, by a former president, no less; heightened concerns by those in the know about Afghanistan; our children being indoctrinated; and Hollywood Elite calling for the freedom of a convicted rapist and [...]

You are not going to believe this video below. I don’t care what your political persuasion is, this should ring alarm bills, raise red flags, and generally cause major concern.
If this isn’t indoctrination, I don’t know what is:

You may have heard that this weekend, the White House strongly suggested that David Paterson, the current governor of New York, really shouldn’t consider a run in 2010. You know, the way only Chicago politicians can: leak out a strong encouragement, deny that they did any such thing, and make it seem like they [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

Actor/author/director/satirist Harry Shearer wrote an excellent commentary for CNN about his “adopted hometown: “Does Obama Care About New Orleans.” First he discussed the encouraging news that the city is becoming a leader in charter school enrollment, working to clean up local politics and is a city once again “throbbing with energy” but then [...]

One might think that as a minister type, I am talking about how connected we all are, one to another, all over the world. Well, okay, there is this, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part,” one of the Seven Principles and Purposes of the UUA, to [...]

Here is his heartfelt declaration–worth a watch!
Last May, my cartoon (reposted below) was about “David” (Joe Sestak) thinking of running against “Goliath” (Arlen Specter) for United States Senator from Pennsylvania. When long-time Republican Specter dumped the GOP because polls showed that he would not win a 6th term in 2010, he decided to run [...]

I got an email recently from an organization that has impressed me, VoteVets.org. As their name implies, they work hard on behalf of our veterans. They work not just on behalf of our veterans, but all those currently serving in the military. The email was on the issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t [...]

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, found this article, which she kindly shared with me. It is quite an interesting take on why some women are so threatened by, um, no, wait, that’s not how the author, Ann Marlowe, would phrase it. More for her, why they don’t like her, as the [...]

“Put a sock in it!” Well, that’s what I would think God would say to Governor Mark Sanford who canNOT keep his big mouth shut these days. See, Governor Sanford said that God wants him to keep his job as governor, and to not resign. Here’s a little reminder:
I wonder where in [...]
