Joe the Plumber… War Correspondent?

Filed in National by on January 7, 2009 5 Comments

I’ll let Joe explain his new job in his own words. “If given the opportunity to do some good however minute it may be, or could be something really good, you gotta take that chance.  You have to do it.” “It’s tragic, I mean it really is.  I don’t say that in any little way.  […]

What’s the Deal with Blair House?

Filed in National by on January 7, 2009 19 Comments

What is the real story behind Blair House, because what’s emerging is raising pettiness to a new level.  Was the Obama’s request to move in ten days early really denied due to an overnight visit by a former Prime Minister?  And can you imagine what the MSM would be doing with this story if it had […]

I Wasn’t Sure How I Felt About Panetta Until…

Filed in National by on January 6, 2009 17 Comments

Dianne Feinstein and Jay Rockefeller – two of Bush’s most ardent enablers – came out against him.  Now, just like Glenn Greenwald, I’m lovin’ the pick.  Spencer Ackerman reports that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is upset with the selection of Panetta, petulantly complaining that she wasn’t consulted in advance and that it would be best to have […]

Christian Fundamentalists are now calling on their flock to pull their children out of public schools… since education obviously threatens their ideology.  Truth is… this call to pull children out of the public education system has nothing to do with education, and everything to do with indoctrination.   [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRGZLSVph3A[/youtube]

The eternal question now has an answer.  Go on, read Prager’s stellar insight into why women, and women alone, hold the power of a happy marriage… and are subsequently at fault when the marriage fails.

Knock Me Over With A Feather

Filed in National by on December 29, 2008 12 Comments

Virginity pledges don’t work. Not only do these pledgers break their vow of celibacy at the same rate of non-oath takers, they’re dumber – since the only thing they seem to be abstaining from is birth control.  I am so sick of stupidity masquerading as morality.

We Really Don’t Like Bush

Filed in National by on December 27, 2008 17 Comments

I guess I could have titled this post Duh. CNN Poll: Thinking about the following characteristics and qualities, please say whether you think it applies or doesn’t apply to George W. Bush: Is a strong and decisive leader: Yes 45%, No 55% Cares about people like you: Yes 37%, No 62% Brought the kind of […]

Deep (or not so deep) Thought on the Economy

Filed in National by on December 20, 2008 9 Comments

It seems that things I need, like food, water, electricity, oil, and healthcare, are costing a lot more than things I want, like cashmere, televisions, computers, and shoes.  Talk about a financial slippery slope!  You’ll be happy to know I’ve shown remarkable restraint… well, except for those fabulous Steve Madden black pumps for 70% off.

Deliberate Incompetence

Filed in National by on December 15, 2008 20 Comments

I have reached the conclusion that the last eight years weren’t the stumblings of an incompetent frat boy, but rather, a deliberate effort to bring our country to its knees.  I believe what we are witnessing is the Republican version of Tough Love – which might be more accurately described as spousal abuse, as in… […]

Making a list, and checking it twice

Filed in National by on December 7, 2008 12 Comments

When it comes to making lists, Santa has nothing on me.  I am the consummate list maker: grocery lists, menu lists, invitation lists, to do lists. I even make lists for members of my family, which aren’t always appreciated. But the biggest list I make every year is my Christmas list. Now my Christmas list […]
