In 1979 the US government bailed out Chrysler. It was a resounding success as Chrysler restructured, cranked out new and innovative vehicles, and paid back the loan in four years.
In 2008, Chrysler, GM, and Ford are back at the begging table for another bailout.
In 1979 I was a teenager more interested in babes than parsing [...]

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 [...]

Earlier this year, a pretty good flap was made over Barack Obama trying to understand country life. He basically came to the conclusion that in order to live in places where people aren’t walking on top of each other, you had to be kind of bitter, and cling to things that aren’t made of concrete [...]

This is getting too predictable to ignore. However, the media in general pretty much has. See if you can follow me on this.
In 2000, we were definitely changing presidents. It was a neck and neck race with two very politically diverse candidates running. One was a staunch conservative Republican and the other was a wide [...]

Russell Brand, the British comedian who I honestly had never heard of, had some things to say during the Video Music Awards, which I never watch. First, he attacked the Jonas Brothers for advocating no sex before marriage:
Now, I’m sure that sat real well with the religious crowd in the US.
He then attacked our President [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it. That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]

I was listening to a debate I think it was on CNN. The emphasis of the debate was how qualified Hillary Clinton was to lead the country based on her own statements of how she had helped lead the country during her husband’s tenure. There was a Republican debator, and a Democrat debator. The first [...]

The University of Florida Police Department is taking some heat for the less than subtle means they used to shut up Andrew Meyer during a John Kerry presentation. Wearing the over-abused cliche drooping khaki pants and a t-shirt, this guy was obviously no threat to anyone. The cops didn’t get his prank or thought it [...]

Yesterday Bush vetoed the Iraqi pullout bill. In that bill, it had emergency spending for the military as well. That was both expected politically, and I expected it for bigger reasons. Spending will be done one way or another until a proper funding bill is presented. The war won’t stop [...]

Either John Kerry is so elitist he gets his own table at a mess hall. Or, no one wanted to join him. However he wants to spin this, it’s a mess. I seriously question the man’s sanity. What’s amazing is this is the man who was almost President. And, at [...]
