Nancy Pelosi famously denied Democrats had any responsibility for the financial crisis that we are dealing with right now. She stills sticks with that fantasy. However, I don’t think too many people believe her. Today the Washingtonwatch blog listed the members of Congress who voted for the 2000 Consolidated Appropriations Act which allowed trading credit [...]

It’s really sad how bad people’s interpretation of history becomes over a short period of time. Namely, this dialogue bugs me:
In response to Obama wanting to spread the wealth, which is very well documented, Joe Biden had this to say:
“I was on a television station the other day doing a satellite feed to a major [...]

I rarely read something I just love any more. It seems to me most media, and I’m not talking main stream media, I’m talking the whole enchilada, are hell bent on dumbing down their content for entertainment value. There are a lot I’m sure that just can’t help it. I mean does anyone really expect [...]

Joe Biden, the forgotten step-son of the Obama/Biden campaign, was highly critical of our fearless commander in chief over his handling of the finance market crisis. He had this to say:
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what [...]

Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr has filed suit that would keep voters from seeing the names Barack Obama and John McCain on their voting machines, saying they failed to follow the Texas law to get their names placed on the ballot. The Libertarians are claiming that both the Texas Democratic and Republican parties missed the deadline to [...]

My friend over at L’Ombre de l’Olivier wrote a very insightful post that merits MSM recognition. But it won’t happen. Here’s the meat. Look at the salaries the three major candidates pay their staff:
Senator
Male Employees
Female Employees
Average Male Salary
Avg Female Salary
Salary Difference (F/M %)
Biden
15
25
$85,144.80
$55,922.33
65.68%
McCain

$53,259.36
$55,958.67
105.07%
Obama

30
$56,298.75
$45,070.09
80.06%
Only one number really merits looking at. John McCain is the only candidate [...]

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been. I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it. I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order:
Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly over [...]

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 VP [...]

There’s a lot being said over waterboarding. Michael Mukasey’s nomination is said to be “drowning” over this one single issue. Joe Biden and Patrick Leahy, who are prone to oppose just about anything for the sake of politics, are “concerned” that Mukasey, rather than completely cowering and denouncing PC-torture-procedure-of-the-day, stated he’d rather look at each [...]

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. What [...]
