Don’t shoot, I want to grow up

October 1st, 2009 | No Comments

Scott Ott makes another one of his brilliant observations regarding the beating death of Derrion Albert: 37 Chicago public school students killed last year. The latest, Derrion Albert, a college-bound honors student, beaten to death with a wooden board. Government operates the housing, government runs the school. Who’s accountable? I’ll go out on a limb [...]

A strange madness

September 4th, 2009 | No Comments

No sooner than I post my rant on Obama surrounding himself with communists, Paul Krugman once again proves my point.  For those who don’t know, Paul Krugman is an avowed liberal.  Damn proud of it too.  No sooner than I read the news about Van Jones being a communist, Paul had this to offer: The [...]

Czar Van Jones

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 [...]

Reflexively anti-Obama

August 25th, 2009 | No Comments

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

Feingold on Sotomayor

July 13th, 2009 | No Comments

I just listened to Russ Feingold’s ten mintues of fame during the Sonia Sotomayor hearings.  He’s nuts. “That is why I suggest to everyone watching today that they be a little wary of a phrase they may hear at these hearings – ‘judicial activism.’  That term really has lost all usefulness, particularly since so many [...]

Obama’s frontrunners

May 20th, 2009 | No Comments

There is a site that is asking people “Which frontrunner is the worst liberal judicial activist?”.  Now, naturally, this is a loaded question.  If you’re not a screaming liberal, they all look equally bad.  So, imagine my non-surprise when I get the results so far: Now, this presents two situations to me.  First of all, [...]

2010 US Senate Races

January 13th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Here we go.  The members of the US Senate class of 2008 haven’t even been fully seated and we are already sepculating on 2010.  CNN has already decided the Republicans are in trouble in 2010 simply because, get this, they had trouble in 2006 and 2008.  Logical huh?  Wikipedia references something called the Cook Political Report [...]

Unions aren’t the problem, employers are?

December 9th, 2008 | No Comments

I read an article by Marie Cocco of the Washington Post in RealClearPolitics.  it just confounds me.  Per Marie: Unions aren’t the problem. They are the solution. ….. Creating a viable middle class has been the goal of organized labor since labor first became organized. And it is this goal that was abandoned outright by [...]

Media and the wrong values

November 6th, 2008 | 2 Comments

It’s easy to trash media.  They screw things up all the time.  Just pick a story, any story, and you’ll find something wrong with it.  For instance, today, Foxnews, which claims to represent the conservative peeps of the US, ran this headline: Flip-Flopper? McCain/Palin backing ‘View’ co-host Hasselbeck stuns viewers | PHOTOS The story headline [...]

NOW endorses a man

September 21st, 2008 | No Comments

Given it’s opportunity to see a woman advance to the second most powerful position in the world, NOW punted.  She’s not “woman” enough according to them.  In reality, she’s not liberal enough for them.  They didn’t even bother to fact-check their opinions, they had already made up their mind.  Now, most people I’m sure had [...]
