Weekend News Roundup (Open Thread) »

There is lots going on in the news. I’d like to touch on just a few of the stories, and you can feel free to add your own in the Comments. So here it is, the good, the bad, the ugly, and a return to the good. As Bronwyn reported yesterday, my governor, Nikki Haley, [...]

Good News! Our Economy Is SO Much Better Now, Especially For Democrats! »

Or at least that was the impression this headline from The Hill wanted us to believe, “Signs Of Turning Tide On Economy Lift Democrats, Obama’s Hopes.” Oh, Happy Day! Woohoo! The tide has turned, the economy is recovering, people are going back to work, Obama has parted the waters and slowed their rising, oh Hallelujah… [...]

Now Barney Does His Job, And Bill Richardson Pulls An Edwards? *OT* »

Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

Truth Will Out On Voter ID “Outrage” »

Well, this is a mighty interesting story, though I don’t reckon you’ll be seeing it on MSNBC. A former Democratic Representative, Artur Davis, fromo Alabama, admits the real reason the Democrats so oppose Voter ID. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Davis acknowledges the rampant voter fraud being perpetrated by Democratic Party bosses. Now, [...]

There Is Something SERIOUSLY Wrong With One State, And Something Very Right About Another One *Open Thread* »

I saw the following article at Facebook, posted by The New Agenda. I have to say, it just made me sick to my stomach, and furious, all at the same time. I think the headline really says it all: Victim Ordered to Pay Attacker Spousal Support. Yes, you read that right. The victim of many [...]

Crazy Things Being Done By Our Government »

~Bumped up~ That are going to make my head explode. First, news that the ten executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are still operating in the red, and which are largely to blame for the housing crisis, got BONUSES. And I am not talking little bonuses, either. Those ten mo-fos got = and [...]

Shining A Bright Light On Solyndra And The Obama Administration »

Editor’s Note: Reverend Amy wrote this post several days ago but her post didn’t get published. She’s concerned that too much has transpired, but I assured her that you’re so informed that you can fill in what’s occurred in the meantime. Also: Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee and is a budget [...]

Adding More Fuel To The Fire (And I Don’t Mean In Texas) »

No, I mean the deal this Administration cut with the now bankrupt solar power company, Solyndra. I wrote about this company, the recipient of a $535 million dollar loan, the other day (When It Comes To This Administration…). Seems there were some pretty interesting connections between Obama and a number of investors, as well as [...]

First Lady Betty Ford, Rest In Peace »

(Photo credit CBSNews.com) First Lady Betty Ford died on Friday, July 8th, at the age of 93. She is remembered for her groundbreaking work in the area of addiction, and the Betty Ford Center has become synonymous with addiction rehab. Her diagnosis of breast cancer in 1974 helped to bring this serious issue to light. [...]

A Twist On Same Sex Marriage Some Didn’t See Coming »

Recently, New York State became the 6th state to legalize same sex marriage. One of the votes that helped push it over the edge was by Republican State Senator Mark Grisanti, who made this statement to explain his vote: [snip] With his position still undeclared, Senator Mark J. Grisanti, a Republican from Buffalo who had [...]

What A Bunch Of Southernist BS About Boeing And SC »

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

Whiners For Weiner, And Anti-Palin Whining, Too *Open Thread* »

The whining would be by some men in the “journalism” profession who think what is going on with Rep. Anthony Weiner in the press is really unfair. “Leave Anthony alone!” seems to be their cry. Good grief. Yes, that is the problem – that Weiner’s “privacy” has been violated, not that he has disgraced his [...]

Happy Fortieth Anniversary, And We Still Have A Ways To Go Yet »

On Monday, June 6th, while Congressman Weiner finally admitted he is a big fat lying pervert with no morals or sense of decency, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Title IX. To celebrate Women in Sports, especially with the Women’s World Cup (soccer) coming up this summer, Secretary Clinton delivered [...]

If She Keeps This Up, She Could Be The Next VP **Weiner Update** And Open Thread »

Update below the fold. Debbie Wasserman Scultz, that is. Her twisting, looping, convoluted machinations to deflect for Re. Anthony Weiner should easily merit her the second spot with Obama on the ticket. I mean, really, someone who can stay the talking point repeatedly no matter how idiotic it sounds with a straight face surely does [...]

Stories Too Good To Miss – TGIF! *Open Thread* »

I just saw this headline, and had to grab this article: “MI6 attacks al-Qaeda in ‘Operation Cupcake‘; British intelligence has hacked into an al-Qaeda online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.” Oh, my – that is freaking HILARIOUS! Here is part of the article: The cyber-warfare operation was launched by MI6 [...]
