Nancy Pelosi took over as House Speaker on January 3, 2007.  Most people I think took that as no big deal.  Just another politician with a big title.  However, I think people need to consider who runs our country a little better and the impact they have.  For instance, from the period of one year [...]

Trent Lott is apparently going to retire before year’s end.  According to the story, his primary concern is he needs to make more money.  Now, being somewhat experienced in that aspect of DC politics, I can say for certain that is an honest concern.  If a congressman’s sole income is his position in DC, he [...]

Here’s where the congressional budget process has gone wrong the last twenty years or so for those that think Congress spends too much: Now, the problem I have here is this is a two part issue that sums all the problems in Congress right now: Spending for Veterans was lumped in with a huge budget [...]

We had an election last night here in Kentucky.  This is how MSNBC interpreted it: Cyclist Lance Armstrong and Kentucky’s new governor were among the few people who could get voters to embrace change on a day they seemed inclined to re-elect incumbents and reject ballot measures calling for new proposals. I tired long ago [...]

Dennis Kucinich’s bill to impeach Dick Cheney has made its way to the Floor.  A lot is being made of it in the media.  Naturally.  However, the realities of the situation are not nearly as exciting. It will die. Guaranteed. An impeachment process completely stifles Congress.  Nancy Pelosi et al have things they want to [...]

First, Nancy Pelosi promised to take her bi-partisan support and push the Armenian Genocide resolution to a vote.  In the process, ignoring the advice of just about every concceivable branch of government that was having to deal with the consequences.  It served no purpose, got no public support, and was panned mightily from ambassadors to [...]

I’m not much into mass email campaigns, but this one made sense to me and bears repeating.  So, rather than sending a bunch of people not terribly interested in it, I’ll just stick it up here. Here they go again — tax-happy Democrats are running out of ways to tax you — so they are [...]

This is getting complicated.  Harry Reid has made Iraq his only mission.  He has pushed the mantra that walking off and leaving Iraq is the only acceptable way to win in Iraq.  I really don’t think that argument has sold too well with most of America.  So, what happens if Bush does decide to start [...]

The last few Jerry Lewis telethons have been somewhat forgetable.  Well, for me, they pretty much all have been.  Having a telethon on Labor Day is a big deal here.  Labor Day is the last big bash on the lake for us.  Toss in the fact my birthday quite frequently falls on the same weekend [...]

I’m sure those words ring terror in the hearts of every liberal on the planet. Not just here, but world-wide. I enjoy that for the novelty it will be for probably a couple of hours tomorrow morning.
