This is getting too predictable to ignore. However, the media in general pretty much has. See if you can follow me on this.
In 2000, we were definitely changing presidents. It was a neck and neck race with two very politically diverse candidates running. One was a staunch conservative Republican and the other was a wide [...]

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, [...]

Representative Keith Ellison submitted this letter to The Hill blogs:
We have to consider the 30 years of stagnant wages that your average Americans have had to face. That fact is that the reason we have people refinancing their homes, getting home equity loans, getting high rate interest credit cards and petty loans is because wages [...]

Via See-Dubya at Michelle Malkin’s blog, with an assist from Gasbuddy:
Apparently Nancy is finally starting to feel the heat. So, she came up with the ultimate solution her feable mind could produce:
July 8, 2008
The Honorable George W. Bush
The President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500 [...]

The unemployment rate was released today. It has suddenly jumped to 5.5%. This is the highest it’s been in four years. Now, this is a concern to me for two reasons.
In the past decade, if unemployment in May was less than January, it was less in December eight out of ten times. That’s a pretty [...]

Now, I don’t believe that to be necessarily true, I just can’t find one I think is terribly smart. Today’s example is Thom Hartmann. In 2005, he tried convincing people that Jimmy Carter tried to prevent the Bush Energy Disasters - 28 years ago. Now, the reason he states this is because Jimmy gave a [...]

Here’s the ugly headlines making the rounds at this time:

“This is gonna go down as the biggest theft in all of financial history, said William Smith, portfolio manager of Smith Asset Management and a former Bear employee. “The $2 a share stock price is more symbolic than anything because the alternative [...]

Yesterday was another one of those mundane days where Congress passed a whole bunch of stuff that means nothing to anyone. Two bills kinda stuck out to me for one very goofball reason:
H. Res. 1021: Supporting the goals, ideals, and history of National Women’s History Month
and
H. Res. 1005: Supporting the goals and ideals of Borderline [...]

A lot is being made over another milestone in Iraq. The 4,000th US soldier died since the war started in 2003. That’s five years. That’s about 800 a year. That’s a lot. But, not much is being made over the perspective of this. For instance, about 2,000 people were killed in 2006 ( the most [...]

First, she lost this one:
Now, a lot’s being said about that one, but I think it’s over-rated as far as the average voter goes. He’s popular in Boston, but that’s about it. The only thing it does show is a crack in the Clinton “establishment”. Bill & Ted go back a long way, I’m kinda [...]
