And the Winner Is: A fun, completely unscientific, non-partisan prediction of the 2012 presidency
I tried to watch the Saturday night GOP debate on “Foreign Policy”. I really did. I watched the Wednesday night debate on the economy, as well as Perry’s now infamous brain-freeze, but asking me to sit through another pointless mind-numbing exercise in futility just three days later was asking too much. I started to watch, [...]
History Professor Newt Gets It Wrong Again. (UPDATED)
I love listening to former history professor Newt Gingrich lecture others about “history” because… as I’ve pointed out before… he gets it wrong so often. And not just “wrong”, but 100% BACKWARDS wrong. He did so again during last nights’ CNBC GOP debate in Rochester, Michigan: Gingrich, in an answer regarding the “Occupy [...]
The Hypocrisy of Cain Playing The Race Card
Quick, somebody ask Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Anthony Weiner and Arnold Schwarzenegger if the Media’s obsession with political sex scandals are based on race. A third fourth fifth woman has now stepped forward to accuse Cain of sexual misconduct back when he ran the “National Restaurant Association” in the 1990′s (fun-fact: the case against Cain [...]
Halloween Frights: A few of the scariest images I’ve seen this year.
The year isn’t yet over, but we’ve already seen a lot of scary stuff this past year. Here are some of the most frightening images that stand out in my mind: $6 dollar gasoline: Teanuts don’t need no stinkin’ Halloween to play dress-up & make complete fools of themselves: Sometimes, facts are [...]
Sour Grapes Make for Bitter Whine.
After news broke that Kadafi/Kadaffi/Qadafi/Qaddaffi/Gaddafi/whatever had been captured and killed by Libyan rebels Friday afternoon, if was only natural for everyone to wonder just how the GOP Presidential Candidates would spin yet another foreign policy coup for President Obama. These were, after all, some of his harshest critics. Michele Bachmann said that getting us involved in [...]
Was Perry’s “jobs plan” really only his “energy policy”? No one seems to know. And with good reason.
On Friday, the Perry campaign released a copy of the candidate’s “Jobs Plan”… or did he? No one seems to be able to agree on that one simple point. The Perry website (no link. You know where) still refers to it as a “plan to create 1.2 million jobs”. Fox News Sunday yesterday referred to it as his [...]
EARLY EDITION: Perry’s “Jobs” Plan by the numbers. I hope you like oil.
EARLY EDITION Rick Perry finally released his “Energizing American Jobs and Security” plan Friday (click here to download from me w/o having to give the Perry campaign your email address). 40 pages long (plus a cover page), Perry’s “jobs” plan is focused ENTIRELY on “energy” production. Ditto when it comes to “security”. In fact, Perry’s plan is SO singularly [...]
A Few Protest Sign Ideas for the #OWS Crowd
The Occupy Wall Street protests have grown considerably over the past three weeks when they first began. They were ignored for a long time until NYC police officers went on a rampage, hauling away protesters and in one dramatic unprovoked incident caught on video, indiscriminately doused protestors with pepper spray. The Media keeps asking, “Why [...]
The Sunday “Unintentionally” Funnies
As my regular readers know by now, I spend every Sunday morning watching three of the four network news Sunday political talkshows: “Fox ’news’ Sunday”, “Meet the Press”, and ABC’s “ThisWeek”. ABC ends their show with a fun segment they call “Sunday funnies”, but this week, the entire show was filled with unintentionally funny moments I just HAD to compile [...]
Ten Ways President Obama Can Revive the Economy and Create Jobs TODAY Without Spending ONE DIME
Don’t forget to vote for your favorites below! One month ago, I asked for your ideas to jumpstart the economy at little to no cost. Everyone (even President Obama now) recognizes the fact that Republicans are more interested in spending the next 14 months making sure President Obama loses HIS job than helping unemployed Americans find one [...]
The Failure of Success. The success of failure.
As I type this, Hurricane Irene is battering the Northeastern coast, leaving 15 35 people dead and more than a million homes without power. Governors of BOTH parties have been praising the response of FEMA… who was already dealing with the rare East coast earthquake from the week before. And in the middle of this mess, GOP Presidential [...]
What’s the Big Idea? I want your best ideas for growing the economy.
As you may know, I spend every Sunday morning enduring watching three back-to-back hours of Sunday political talk shows: “Fox ‘news’ Sunday”, “Meet the Press”, and ABC’s “ThisWeek”. Yesterday’s shows were particularly tough to endure, having to listen to the likes of Karl ”CIA name-leaker” Rove lecture Democrat Bill Burton about assigning “motives” or “questioning the integrity of Republicans” [...]
