Almost two years ago, I warned Nancy Pelosi what would happen if they jerked around with the minimum wage without adjusting other funding to account for it.  She’s a stubborn old bag and didn’t listen.  They promptly crammed it through Congress.
July 1, minimum wage went up 70 cents.  That’s about a 13% increase.
One month later, [...]

Thursday night John McCain gave a rousing speech, finishing it off with a call to fight.  His urge was barely audible over the wildly cheering crowd:

Apparently excited that they finally had a candidate that felt their pain, several hundred anarchists promptly got arrested chanting “F**k the police!”.
OK, hands up here, how many people ever thought [...]

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been.  I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it.  I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order:
Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly over [...]

Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin.  Let’s see.  We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare.  So, let’s do, shall we?

John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily.  He lost but maintained a [...]

In the past, and sometimes nowadays, I have pretty much tired of political parties.  We’re in the 21st century.  The tool necessary to get the word out in the 18th century just isn’t necessary anymore.  Never has party unity and loyalty been any more muddled than this year.

Last night, longtime Democrat, and one-tome Democrat VP [...]

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large [...]

This race is bringing a whole new reality to national politics I was quite certain I would never experience in my lifetime.
 
Peeps are apparently fantasizing the perfect Sarah Palin image.  This one is close for me, but I like the longer haired version.  You know, the one where they pasted Julia Louise Dreyfus’s face on [...]

Does anyone really need to guess?
“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven,” Moore said. “To just have it planned at the same time, that it (hurricane Gustav) would actually be on its way to New Orleans for Day One of the Republican convention, up in the Twin [...]

Now, my peeps here know how I feel about Condi Rice.  So, I think, smarting from the Obama/Hillary dustup, Anderson Cooper decided to try and turn the wheels on McCain by planting the seed of discontent in folks like me over McCain “snubbing” Condi in the manner of Obama snubbing Clinton.  Two serious differences here that [...]

Immediately after it became known that Sarah Palin would be John McCain’s running mate, CNN ran a poll asking people if they had supported Hillary Clinton if they would now consider McCain/Palin.  Approximately 41% at the last I saw it said yes.  That’s enough to turn this election into a washout for Obama.  So, CNN [...]
