All about having sex, with that woman.

December 5th, 2011 | No Comments

Positively Republican puts it well: The guy accused of extra-marital affairs (and vehemently denies the accusations) drops out to endorse the guy who admits to extra-marital affairs. People immediately jumped all over Cain due to his issues with other women.  No one really wants to think about Newt and other women.  But it all goes [...]

Byrd and Thurmond, only Adam Clymer can tell them apart.

July 6th, 2010 | 1 Comment

Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100 And: Robert C. Byrd, a Pillar of the Senate, Dies at 92 Both opposed civil rights initially.  Both converted to support civil rights.  One was an outspoken member of the Ku Klux Klan.  One was not.  Wanna guess which was which? Oh, and one died a Democrat, [...]

Some people just hate birthers

August 4th, 2009 | 2 Comments

I have to admit, I had never heard the term “birther” before. I don’t watch tv much, so I guess that’s why. Dictionary.com doesn’t have a clue what “birther” is either. So, whenever a word is used I don’t know and dictionary.com doesn’t either, I go to urbandictionary.com. They of course have it. According to [...]

Facebook and the death penalty

June 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

Sometimes I feel like most of my views are totally contrarian.  That beliefs in traditional values and harsh consequences for harsh actions is something most people can’t deal with.  Then I see something like this on Facebook: Results: Is the death penalty wrong? Yes 7,880 No 16,568 Now, Facebook’s as hip as it gets.  This [...]

Rush Limbaugh’s approval rating

March 18th, 2009 | No Comments

A lot is being made on the inexplicable poll CBS took of Rush Limbaugh’s approval rating.  It’s not terribly good.  The uber-liberal CBS has Rush at about 19% approval.  I have several thoughts on this, of course. This was an open poll.  If that’s the case, 19% liking him is pretty astonishing.  I am fiscally [...]

Beheading not worth reporting?

February 16th, 2009 | No Comments

OK, so we got a tv station owner in Buffalo, NY.  He’s got a beautiful wife.  For reasons I’m not aware of, the tv station owner decides things are not good between them and therefore cuts her head off at the station. Now, this is juicy stuff that makes for a made-for-tc movie and endless [...]

Is an extravagant inauguration more needed now?

January 15th, 2009 | No Comments

This is making the rounds: Four years ago, the Associated Press and others in the press suggested it was in poor taste for Republicans to spend $40 million on President Bush’s inauguration. AP writer Will Lester calculated the impact that kind of money would have on armoring Humvees in Iraq, helping victims of the tsunami, [...]

Barack and Rick

December 22nd, 2008 | 1 Comment

A lot has been made of Barack Obama inviting Rick Warren to give an invocation at his inauguration.  A lot of people are upset.  I’m not.  This really isn’t much of an issue that affects my day to day life.   What I have enjoyed is watching people who advocate various political policies squirm.  The left [...]

Southern Republicans oppose Big 3 bailout because they have foreign autmoakers?

December 12th, 2008 | No Comments

That’s the argument being made today after the collapse of the Big Three bailout.  For the record, it came because UAW refused to bargain. Now, this argument is so bogus it’s amazing.  People are actually debating this issue as if it’s fact.  One of the states being singled out is Kentucky because of Mitch McConnell.  [...]
