“Totally Synced Up” »

That’s what one of Obama’s speechwriters said about Jon Favreau in this Washington Post article, Helping to Write History. That Obama and Favreau are “synced up.” Well, that sure helps to explain a lot of things. Ahem. Yes, Mr. Favreau is currently hard at work writing Obama’s big Inaugural speech. [...]

“Liberal” Media to Hillary: Stay where you are. »

For some reason, “Apocalypse Now” popped into my head (it could be the pain killers, I’m still getting over a root canal.)
Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?
Willard: I’m a soldier.
Kurtz: You’re neither. You’re an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
Today’s errands boys [...]

Gang Raped? »

OK - I have more than had it from liberal women attacking Gov. Palin. Again, I hasten to add that I was always one clinging to the far LEFT corner of the Democratic Party, so no centrist or Republican am I. First it was Gloria Steinem, then it was Eve Ensler (and don’t let [...]

“The Hidden Campaign” »

Today, there was a piece in the Washington Post on electronic voting machines, The Hidden Campaign:Ohio Voting Machines Contained Programming Error That Dropped Votes.

Stop Picking On My Messiah! »

In today’s Washington Post, Richard Cohen discusses Obama the Unknown. Here’s the main juice:
Obama “gave a hell of a speech, but it was just a speech.” There is little else to back it up.
He wouldn’t want to underestimate Obama, but his paper thin record is troubling.
Obama can flip [...]

The Race Card Jar Overfloweth »

Obama has wasted no time whatsoever making this election about race. At a recent fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida Obama stated that the Republicans are going to try to scare voters away from him by mentioning that he is black.

We know what [...]
