Update below the fold. No, not Election Day, though yeah, that’s right around the corner (thank heavens). No, I mean my very last visit with my Physical Therapist. YAY!!! And he came about an hour earlier than usual, too, so that was good. Oh, what a relief. Not that I am done with physical therapy, [...]

That would be President Obama in his recent press conference. Now I understand why this “eloquent” “brilliant” “orator” does not do more of these things. Wow. We thought Bush was bad. But eve Bush never pitted one American citizen against another like this: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com Obama said claimed that the [...]

If you mean the White House and some unions, the answer would be a resounding, YES! W.H., Labor To Vote-Switchers: We Won’t Forget. You may recall that I wrote about this very real possibility recently in, “Toddler in Chief Throws A Temper Tantrum,” based on a story from The Telegraph (U.K.). Now, it seems, not [...]

* Bumped up from January 7, 2010. * I love John Kass of the Chicago Tribune. He is one of the very, very few columnists who tried to warn us about Obama, Obama’s record (or lack thereof), how he came to be a Senator, and all about Chicago Politics. Simply put, he was a voice [...]

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 which [...]

(bumped up from last night late . this is a CRITICALLY IMPORTANT POST about what Barack Obama is overlooking) Remember Jesse Jackson, Jr., and his claim that voters should “analyze” Hillary Clinton’s tears? We should analyze those tears in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he said, especially as Hillary will have to face the Democratic [...]

What in the hell? MSNBC is advertising about its coverage of Inauguration Day, saying: In the nation’s capitol, on the brink of history, the hour approaches … If January 20th marks the “brink of history,” what have we been living in so far? And won’t the Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians be just a [...]

According to John Kass in this VERY good piece from January 9, Chickens Dancing, Roosting in 5th District (major H/T to KenoshaMarge via NH). I tell you, that is one courageous man given how so many of Obama’s critics, or people close to him, are silenced tout suite. But that as not stopped Kass. He [...]

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and that [...]

I bet Roland Burris can’t either. First, according to NBC Chicago, Obama “forcefully” sided with the Senate, and Harry “No One Gets To Come Into My Clubhouse If I Don’t Want Them Here” Reid, saying that while Burris is a good man, he wasn’t going to get the secret handshake to gain admittance. Okay, maybe [...]

Harry, Harry, Harry. What’s up with you, man? Say this is not true. You tell us that armed guards are going to keep Roland Burris from taking his seat. One strike. But Harry, now this? Days before Gov. Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, [...]

(bumped up by nasuS) [Truthteller's piece is terrific. I've added the latest video from the guys at the Nose On Your Face at the end. I think it is a dandy companion for this piece.] Barack Obama on Thursday stated the following: “I have never spoken to the governor on this subject. I am confident [...]

Times Online reports calls for Emanuel’s resignation as Obama’s Chief of Staff. I quote with emphasis: THE bullish, foul-mouthed but effective Chicago arm-twister Rahm Emanuel has come under pressure to resign as Barack Obama’s chief of staff after it was revealed that he had been captured on court-approved wire-taps discussing the names of candidates for [...]

(bumped up from this afternoon) Jesse *let me repeat* Jackson, “I met with Blagojevich for the first time in four years, on Tuesday.” Now, perhaps he means in an actual conference room, with pens, pads of paper, and donuts (or bagels), but it’s not *just words* in these situations. I would think, during a press [...]
