TMZ.COM is running a very peculiar picture: In case it’s not too clear, that’s SUPPOSEDLY John F. Kennedy chillaxin while FOUR, count em, FOUR, babes frolicking naked. Cool huh? Well, under some circumstances it would most definitely be. However, SUPPOSEDLY, at this time, his wife was in the hospital struggling to deliver a still-born baby. [...]

More lunacy from the top. At approximately 11:10 this morning, Obama is scheduled to meet with representatives of the financial industry. Last night he had this to say about them: “I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street.”….. “They’re still puzzled why it is [...]

A lot was made of Arlen Specter’s jumping ship and declaring he was a Democrat. His logic was the Republican Party left him. A lot of people, including myself, figured a deal had been struck between Specter and the Democrat leadership, which at this time would be Obama and Reid. Sure enough, both came out [...]

As governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano was notoriously lax on immigration. This included vetoing a LOT of bills designed to stem the flow of illegal immigrants. When she was picked as Director for the Department of Homeland Security, a lot of people questioned Obama’s intentions regarding enforcing our borders. Now, we have a definitive answer: [...]

This is making the rounds: Four years ago, the Associated Press and others in the press suggested it was in poor taste for Republicans to spend $40 million on President Bush’s inauguration. AP writer Will Lester calculated the impact that kind of money would have on armoring Humvees in Iraq, helping victims of the tsunami, [...]

Everyone is saying this has been a near-flawless transition: It had to come some time. Despite a nearly flawless transition period of astute, substantive and widely praised cabinet appointments, the nascent Obama administration has unintentionally provoked its first controversy. Significantly, it is in the sphere of national security. I haven’t been quite as impressed. Bill [...]

During Obama’s campaign for the White House, he preached endlessly about bipartisanship. As with the rest of his message of “change”, people, and especially media, bought it hook, line, and sinker: You said the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and pettiness and anger that’s consumed Washington; to end the political strategy that’s [...]

A lot has been made of Barack Obama inviting Rick Warren to give an invocation at his inauguration. A lot of people are upset. I’m not. This really isn’t much of an issue that affects my day to day life. What I have enjoyed is watching people who advocate various political policies squirm. The left [...]
