My New Rules
Republicans can no longer absolve themselves of the economic crisis when they were in power, and then simultaneously state that now that Dems are in control there’s no excuse for not solving everything. Republicans cannot support patriotism and respect for the Office of the President only when a Republican is housed in that office. Republicans […]
THIS is the difference between Healthcare and Health Insurance
Last week I received a 400.00 bill from my children’s pediatrician. Confused, I called the Doctor’s office and was informed that our insurance provider had denied the claim. Now, before I continue, let me say that we are extremely fortunate to have – what most people would consider – excellent insurance. This wasn’t always the […]
A Silver Lining
Seems being compared to Bush gives foreign leaders pause. With Russian tanks only 30 miles from Tbilisi on August 12, Mr. Sarkozy told Mr. Putin that the world would not accept the overthrow of Georgia’s Government. According to [Sarkozy’s chief diplomatic adviser, Jean-David] Levitte, the Russian seemed unconcerned by international reaction. “I am going to […]
I’m sensing a consensus
Watch this video. Not everyone shares Sarah Palin’s vision of Sarah Palin’s future. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE3gTWQeDxM[/youtube] Is it just me, or are Republican Governors so over her? Talk about dodging a question! Bet these guys just ended up on Ted Nugent’s hit list. Snark aside, could we please have more of this? Republicans, please, go get those torches […]
Just a little self-serving, wouldn’t you say?
Mitt Romney offers Obama advice. Any management advice for the next president? How does he rally a depressed nation to meet the challenges we face? He should forget entirely about reelection and focus solely on helping the nation at a critical time. He should dismiss the people who helped him win the election and bring […]
The Rebirth of Intellectualism
If there’s one thing the election of Barack Obama has changed it’s our view of intelligence. Suddenly “smart” is cool again. To which I say, thank God. After eight years of a President who wore his academic mediocrity like a badge of honor we finally woke up and elected the smartest guy in the room […]
The Republican Myth
Read the following statement by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) and tell me where the Republican Party is headed. When asked by Chris Wallace what “conservative solutions” the GOP would bring to their current minority-party status, Pence said social issues like “the sanctity of marriage” will remain the backbone of the Republican platform. “You build those […]
Hey, Dr. Frankenstein! Your Monster Has Taken On A Will Of Its Own
As much as I’m going to enjoy the already-in-progress battle between the Far Right and “RINO” wings of the Republican Party I have to admit that I’m rooting for the RINOs. Sarah Palin got a little to close to the White House for my peace of mind. Oh yeah, it was all fun and games […]
“Why Can’t Obama Close the Deal? Muahahaha!”*
Nate Silver breaks down the difference between 2004 and 2008. Obama improved over Kerry in almost every category except +65 and gays and lesbians. The youth vote rocked. So did… wait for it… those making over 200,000.00! Complete Chart after the jump.
Let’s try this again… Breaking:
Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s Chief of Staff. Update: David Axelrod named Senior Adviser in the White House. Robert Gibbs is also likely to join Obama’s White House as Press Secretary
Lieberman’s second trip to the woodshed
Harry Reid will be meeting today with Joe Lieberman. I’m not sure what will happen, but I sure know what I want to happen. I want Lieberman stripped of his chairmanships, and I realize this may be viewed as cutting off my nose to spite my face. Sorry, can’t help it. I don’t trust Lieberman to […]
