That Hopey Changey thing: Eliminating filibusters

January 24th, 2013 | No Comments

Within one day after President Obama was sworn in for his second term, Harry Reid was putting in motion the vote to eliminate most filibusters. Here is the list of the Senators that think this is such a good idea they chose to co-sponsor it: Sen Baldwin, Tammy [WI] – 1/22/2013 Sen Begich, Mark [AK] [...]

Joe Biden Fact Check: What exactly is a missile?

October 15th, 2012 | No Comments

During the Vice-President Debate held in Danville, KY last week, Joe Biden claimed, rather emphatically, that since Iran had no way of delivering a nuclear device, their nuclear program was not an immediate threat. If that’s the case, then you have to wonder what Victoria Nuland is talking about: In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria [...]

Joe Biden cheers on the Giants in San Francisco

January 20th, 2012 | No Comments

Only problem, he was in San Francisco. Although he tried to recover the fumble by explaining he got his baseball and football teams mixed up, that doesn’t really help much since the 49ers play the Giants in two days.  

Obama’s rousing economy speech

April 19th, 2011 | No Comments

A few days ago President Obama delivered his vision of the 2012 budget.  It was less than well received: The Republicans, as expected, weren’t too pleased with it either. Here it is if you want to watch it before discussing any further: Now, the main gripe was, as per the norm with Obama, it had [...]

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

October 18th, 2010 | 1 Comment

This is getting nuttier every day.  In 1993, when the Democrats controlled everything in DC, they passed a piece of legislation that pretty much everyone hated.  It was affectionately referred to as the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994“.  Now, a lot of people don’t keep track of things like they should so [...]

Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

Joe Biden endorses Jim Yarmouth

June 28th, 2010 | 1 Comment

Joe Biden, fresh on cussing out a custard man, came to Kentucky to endorse Jim Yarmouth.  Only problem, it’s John Yarmouth: Along the way, he’s taking credit for creating 800 new jobs at GE over the next two years, hopefully. That’s wonderful considering GE has cut 19,000 jobs over the last two decades. However, given [...]

Someone throw Biden under the bus, please?

This guy is one heartbeat from the presidency. I still to this day think Obama keeps him there to assure his own safety.

Nancy Pelosi’s culture of corruption – Hassan Nemazee

September 25th, 2009 | No Comments

Hassan Nemazee has been charged with all kinds of stuff of late.  Basically, it’s now a charge of running a $292 million pyramid scheme.  Not terribly sure how that’s different than Bernie Madoff’s ponzi scheme.  But, I don’t really care.  What I do care is Nancy Pelosi assuring everyone that all Republicans were corrupt, and [...]

Obama Taxing health benefits

June 8th, 2009 | No Comments

During the presidential campaign of 2008, John McCain, the straight shooter, said he’d consider taxing health benefits in order to pay for expanding health coverage to everyone else.  It was one of the deciding factors in deciding the race.  Obama jumped all over McCain on the issue, and of course, promied everyone his coverage would [...]
