Yahoo ran this story:
Top Republican lawmaker Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, seen here in 2006, was left red-faced after twice hanging up the phone on president-elect Barack Obama — fearing he was a prank caller trying to catch her out on a radio show.(AFP/File/Roberto Schmidt)
Now, the story is true, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen thought Obama was a prank call and hung [...]

“We don’t want (Blagojevich) to short-circuit the will and the wisdom of the state of Illinois,” Rush told FOXNews.com, after holding a press conference in Chicago announcing his petition drive for the governor to name a black candidate.
“As we speak, there are no African Americans in the Senate. (Blagojevich) has the power to put one [...]

Adam Shell of USAToday has brought a lot of chuckles to a lot of people. Yesterday he attributed Barack Obama to a stock market rally that occurred last week. Today, the Dow Jones is down 400 points or so. He made a lot of very obvious errors in his adoration of Obama when he tied [...]

Lashkar-e-Taiba sells itself as “The Army of the Good”. Using that moniker, they advocate fundamentalist Islam rule. Azam Amir Kasab is apparently a member of “The Army of the Good”. Now, this is how the “The Army of the Good” spreads its word for the “Religion of Peace”:
It’s kinda blurry, but that’s a rifle he’s [...]

The most screwed up political issue of the Bush administration will be returning I imagine very shortly for the Obama administration. First, I want to make sure people understand where I’m coming from:
The “Bush ban on stem cells” originally was passed in 1999. Bush wasn’t president, Bill Clinton was. This was a complete ban on [...]

In 1979 the US government bailed out Chrysler. It was a resounding success as Chrysler restructured, cranked out new and innovative vehicles, and paid back the loan in four years.
In 2008, Chrysler, GM, and Ford are back at the begging table for another bailout.
In 1979 I was a teenager more interested in babes than parsing [...]

Barack Obama is now referred to as President-Elect Barack Obama. Soon to be just President Obama. His sudden rise to The White House has not been the story I think most people would aspire to follow. Well, maybe they would, just not me. I’ll ignore his confusing youth of hanging out with terrorists and all [...]

This is becoming somewhat of a routine it seems:
GM said it will nearly exhaust its cash cushion by year’s end, leaving barely enough for day-to-day operations through the first half of 2009. It said it has ended merger talks with Chrysler, delayed future product plans and cut benefits. But it said those measures may not [...]

People pretty much tend to blame employment, or lack thereof, on the President. However, economic policy and spending comes from Congress. Sure, the Senate has some input, but what gets voted on is purely the Speaker of the House’s prerogative. So, I tend to look at the politics of it all a little different. I [...]

It’s easy to trash media. They screw things up all the time. Just pick a story, any story, and you’ll find something wrong with it. For instance, today, Foxnews, which claims to represent the conservative peeps of the US, ran this headline:
Flip-Flopper?

The story headline was a little [...]
