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.

“Barack Obama Is No Churchill” »

^ ^ ^ bumped up ^ ^ ^ So the other night, Obama had his big Afghanistan speech. Finally, after months of waiting for a decision regarding the request by General McChrystal, Obama laid out his plan, pretty much what had been telegraphed to us before the speech (yet, he still had to get in [...]

“Few would have seen on that day that… that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent.”

“What If Bush Had Done That?” »

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 wonders [...]

Wie Geht’s? »

I have always been intrigued by Germany. From the history of the republic, to the wars, the division and reunification, Berlin, Munich, the food, the beer — there is a lot going on there. I had the good fortune of spending a college semester in Freiburg, which is in the southwestern corner of the country. [...]

McCain’s Ugly Frogs! »

Democrats are on defense and not playing it well, as highlighted in my recent article quoting legendary politician Willie Brown, “The Democrats Are On Defense And They Don’t Play It Well.” However, the Telegraph.co.uk calls the put-them-on-the-defense routine McCain’s “Ugly Frog”, writes Craig Crawford at CQ. The “ugly frog” is a well-known routine that predates [...]

Obama’s Two Faces and Forked Tongue, Pt 3: The U.S. is Evil? »

Obama’s willingness to flip-flop has earned him the moniker Backtrack Obama. He betrayed progressives by voting for the FISA legislation; he promised to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives; he equivocated on choice by saying that “mental distress” should not be a factor in abortion. Obama’s newest flip flop was not over a matter of public policy [...]

Obama’s Empty Blue Boxes »

Obama’s excellent adventures have now ended. He visited the troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, with a little basketball thrown in. He has wowed and wooed “200,000″ people at a free concert in Germany. We had to “jack the bus” up higher as Obama “threw” the injured troops from Ramstein and Landstuhl under the bus [...]
