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] [...]
Barack Obama made a huge deal out of ending partisanship in DC. He then pretty much slammed the door shut once he was elected. Democrats got all the positions of power. When Nancy Pelosi moved to squelch any chance of open, public debate on any issue, Obama was dutifully silent. Yesterday we got a perfect [...]
Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package. I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way. As such, I was interested in the numbers. However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at. In essence, [...]
Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters wonders how the John Edwards flap has affected the 2008 Presidential race: …the case can certainly be made that if the Edwards affair had gotten the press attention it deserved back in October when the National Enquirer first broke the story, the former senator would have been forced out of the [...]
An interesting case is developing in Iowa. Seems the local sheriff’s niece decided to get naked at an art facility. Problem is she was 17 at the time. So, the director got into a lot of trouble. His defense is that dancing naked in Iowa is not legal. Nevertheless a minor doing it. So, they [...]

A lot is being made of the Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses. Now we’re facing “crunch time“. Let’s look at a little history, shall we? Here’s Iowa’s history of caucus voting: Democrats January 19, 2004 – John Kerry (38%), John Edwards (32%), Howard Dean (18%), Richard Gephardt (11%) and Dennis Kucinich (1%) January 24, 2000 [...]
That’s the headline you won’t see. This is what I’m referring to: Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. [...]
We’re now starting to get into the meat of the ’08 presidential primaries. The candidates have danced around the issue, a couple have seen the light and given up, the media have propped up and tore down a few, and everyone has tossed in their views of what will happen a little over a year [...]
Foxnews ran this rather odd headline: Romney Defends Straw Poll Win I read the article. Nowhere in it does Romney “defend” his win. He explains his take on it, which pretty much mirrors mine, if the other candidates thought they could win in Iowa, they would have participated moreso than they did. However, the bottom [...]
