Germany thinks we need to save money

June 22nd, 2010 | 1 Comment

Right as Obama is gearing up for another round of stimulus funding, Germany’s Angela Merkel blindsided him some of the craziest advice Obama’s probably heard since the last Tea Party rally: “It’s urgently necessary for monetary stability that public budgets return to balance,” German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said at a press conference Monday, according [...]

Dick Blumenthal served courageously in South Carolina?

May 18th, 2010 | 1 Comment

Connecticut Attorney General Richard “Dick” Blumenthal has been in office since 1991.  He’s done a lot of things as attorney general.  He jumped on the first great American corporate lynching of the tobacco industry well after Hillary Clinton declared war.  Ignoring the issues with global warming, he’s trying to declare carbon dioxide a dangerous substance: [...]

What might have been: the JFK yacht orgy pic

December 28th, 2009 | No Comments

TMZ.COM is running a very peculiar picture: In case it’s not too clear, that’s SUPPOSEDLY John F. Kennedy chillaxin while FOUR, count em, FOUR, babes frolicking naked.  Cool huh?  Well, under some circumstances it would most definitely be.  However, SUPPOSEDLY, at this time, his wife was in the hospital struggling to deliver a still-born baby.  [...]

When victory is not the goal

July 24th, 2009 | No Comments

In my world, the ultimate definition of a pacifist is to enter a war and not be terribly concerned with winning.  You do this by not acknowledging it’s actually a war, then equivocating what the ultimate outcome must be.  In Korea and Vietnam, the United Nations, with an assist from the United States, would not [...]

May 7th, 2008 | No Comments

Barack Obama laid an egg last night ( From Hotair ): The other side can label and name-call all they want, but I trust the American people to recognize that it is not surrender to end the war in Iraq so that we can rebuild our military and go after Al Qaida’s leaders. I trust [...]

Now, Hollywood has a long history of pretty much hating all things Republican.  They usually don’t know why, and they usually get their facts screwed up, or in some cases, just make stuff up.  However, they come to their conclusion isn’t important.  If in Hollywood, or the media in most cases, you HAVE to hate [...]

John Kerry doing it again

October 31st, 2006 | 18 Comments

In 2004, President Bush’s ratings were totally in the basement. John Kerry was trashing Bush in the polls, and the media was laughing at Bush’s ineptitude. John Kerry then went to war with some former Vietnam vets that he absolutely would not get over. He hounded and hounded and hounded that one issue and basically [...]

Vietnam, continued, Pt 3

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 And, to further bolster my claims that Dan Rather is horribly misguided and totally out of step with the US viewing public, we get this today from CNN.com, “Has the debate over the Vietnam-era military records of Bush and Kerry changed the way you will vote?” The results so [...]

Vietnam, continued, Pt 2

September 10th, 2004 | No Comments

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Well, ain’t this precious. Apparently the verification Ben Barnes’ is using to back his claims are forgeries. Go ahead and look if you want. I can list all the obvious problems with this memo, but that would make a really long post and I don’t feel like doing that [...]
