South Carolina is exactly what The Founding Fathers had in mind

June 10th, 2010 | No Comments

Remember Al Green? Man, I sure do: Right after Barry White and George Clinton, the dude could sing.  When he set the mood, the clothes fell off.  Didn’t even need a whole lot of tequila.  I’m sure every 40 to 50 something has a good memory or two of Al Green.  So, given the chance [...]

Hank Johnson and that pesky island tipping problem

April 14th, 2010 | 2 Comments

That is striking some as possibly the stupidest comment by what has become arguably the stupidest Congress in the history of the United States of America.  After realizing his comment made him look quite stupid, he released this explanation: “I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their [...]

Czar Van Jones

September 4th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Barack Obama has found a loophole he loves.  By appointing “special advisors”, otherwise known as “czars”, he completely bypasses Nancy Pelosi and the rest of Congress.  He doesn’t have to worry about those annoying confirmation hearings by doing that.  I’m sure he feels that by eliminating public hearings, he’s doing us all a favor.  I’m [...]

Muddling the party lines

September 3rd, 2008 | 2 Comments

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 [...]

Fantasizing on the VP?

September 2nd, 2008 | No Comments

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 [...]

Super Tuesday

February 5th, 2008 | No Comments

It’s finally here.  If you listen to media pundits, Obama’s got this in a landslide.  If you look at the polls, Clinton’s got this in a landslide.  I can’t wait to see how the media/polls difference is explained off again.  ( Stolen election?  Bad exit poll data? )   Bottom line, I think the media LOVES [...]

Huckabee screws up, joins all the other candidates

December 12th, 2007 | 2 Comments

I read this first thing this morning: Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” I have real issues with this for several reasons. First of all, what does this have to do with being President of the [...]

Trent Lott retiring

November 26th, 2007 | No Comments

Trent Lott is apparently going to retire before year’s end.  According to the story, his primary concern is he needs to make more money.  Now, being somewhat experienced in that aspect of DC politics, I can say for certain that is an honest concern.  If a congressman’s sole income is his position in DC, he [...]

Cynthia McKinney for President?

October 17th, 2007 | 2 Comments

If you’re through laughing, dig this: Despite McKinney posting a letter on her Web site last month, saying she is not interested in the Green Party nomination, a group called “Run! Cynthia! Run!” is trying to draft her as a candidate in California. McKinney and six other Green Party candidates, including Ralph Nader were nominated [...]

Whose side are the Dems on anyway?

December 7th, 2006 | No Comments

From Wiki: In the early hours of December 9, 1981, around 3:51 AM, Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) officer Daniel Faulkner was shot and killed during an altercation that ensued from a routine traffic stop of a vehicle driven by William Cook, Abu-Jamal’s younger brother. In the trial the prosecution successfully argued that the following events [...]
