Filed in Uncategorized by on June 19, 2007 2 Comments

After spending a few days trashing the GOP, Bloomberg decided to part ways with his “party of convenience” and go independent.  ‘Bout time.  Now he can trash his predecessor full-time.

What Do We Need Out of Our Next President?

Filed in Uncategorized by on June 19, 2007 7 Comments

I was just reading a little bit about Michael Bloomberg speaking at Google yesterday.  He said that whoever wins the Presidency has a lot to do to repair this country and its standing in the world.  Bloomberg seems to be positioning himself as a non-partisan candidate (if indeed, he is a candidate).  Here’s the question […]

Flipp and His Magical Rewrite History Machine

At the Republic debate on June 5th Romney stated the following: If you’re saying let’s turn back the clock, and Saddam Hussein had opened up his country to IAEA inspectors, and they’d come in and they’d found that there were no weapons of mass destruction, had Saddam Hussein, therefore, not violated United Nations resolutions, we […]

The Secretary of HHS (of all departments) tried to set up a meeting with Senator Craig Thomas last Thursday.  Unfortunately for all involved, Thomas had already been dead for 3 days.  It was in the papers and on TV.  But word didn’t get out to whoever was setting up meetings at HHS.  Fox News must […]

This is very funny.  Watch the first 2 minutes of this video (more than that could induce vomiting) and keep your eye on Bush’s watch on his left wrist.  This is why he hates fereners. [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=PKDdF6vfjoo] (h/t Fred)

Thompson Eats Romney’s Lunch

Filed in Uncategorized by on June 12, 2007 5 Comments

According to a new LA Times poll, Flipp Romney has dropped to 4th place behind Rudy(27%), Fred Thompson(21%) and McCain(12%).  I’m not sure that this is a sign of Rudy’s or Fred’s strength or of the weakness of Romney.  I have heard many a Republican state that they can’t believe a word out of Flipp’s […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on June 12, 2007 1 Comment

In response to Colin Powell’s statement that he would close Git’mo “this afternoon” Mike Huckabee got all whacky. My sense was, because I visited every single prison in the Arkansas prison system, and I can tell you most of our prisoners would love to be in a facility more like Guantanamo and less like the […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on June 11, 2007 5 Comments

A few weeks ago Flipp was heard to say that he would double the size of the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Korea and Iraq

Filed in Uncategorized by on June 8, 2007 7 Comments

Last week W. compared Iraq to the Korean War.  The implication of which is that we have been there for 50 years and it still isn’t rosy, but it is stable.  There are many flaws to this argument, and I don’t like hunting for fowl that are maimed and captive.  There is an interesting point […]
