There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy.

A few months or so ago, Obama hit the beach and started delivering his “economy is recovering, but not enough” message. Some think this was in response to the rather catastrophic forecast of the first Tuesday in November. Personally, I do. “It’s the economy, stupid.” Simple message, hard to debate. The message then was that [...]
Accusing the Arizona immigration law of leading to the slippery slope of racial profiling has apparently worn thin. Linda Sanchez decided to up it a notch: “There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups”,”It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.” [...]
Particularly, he’s concerned that Tea Party and right-wing rhetoric will fuel the flames for domestic terrorism attacks like the one in Oklahoma City fifteen years ago. First, a history lesson. Murrah was not a reaction to some right-wing media show. It was a reaction to the Waco, Texas massacre. It was a very direct reaction. [...]
That is striking some as possibly the stupidest comment by what has become arguably the stupidest Congress in the history of the United States of America. After realizing his comment made him look quite stupid, he released this explanation: “I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their [...]
Jimmy Carter, who blamed the most horrid economic policies in US history on the general public, has generally been a malaise since then. About once or twice a year, he takes jabs at the United States. I’m not sure if he’s had anything nice or relevant to say in the last thirty years. But, he’s [...]
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 [...]
Today we’ll start one of the most annoying processes in politics I can think of. Nominating a Supreme Court justice will bring us a week of guaranteed partisan political bickering and posturing. No ifs, ands, or butts. Guaranteed. Now, I don’t have that much of an issue with that aspect of it. I just won’t [...]
In December 2006 I wrote about Mumia Abu-Jamal. He shot a cop in the back and face in 1981 and killed him. That part is not in dispute. Now, in March 2009, it’s still in court. He has been found guilty a few times. However, for some reason, his case keeps getting appealed and keeps [...]
This is so amazingly stupid I don’t even know where to begin. The New York Post ran a cartoon intermingling the events of the violent monkey getting shot in Connecticut and the recent stimulus bill. Looking at it for two seconds, I got it. I thought it was very accurate. This stimulus was so bad [...]
