Part Two of Obama and the Stock Market: Democrats caused the Crisis.

Last week, I pointed out how people who were suggesting the continued decline in the Stock Market was somehow due to a lack of confidence in President Obama, had NOTHING to base their theory on. Instead, I pointed to reports of continued banking failures that began under President Bush were responsible for those declines (such as [...]

Long story short, an innocent mistake literally destroyed my computer (Super Bowl Sunday, I left my TV antenna cable on the ground still connected to my PC, surging raw power through my motherboard for over two hours, frying it, my HDTV card and one of my harddrives).

Did Saudi kid confirm Bush let bin Laden escape at Tora Bora?

It was a throw-away line at best in the middle of a story on NBC Nightly News last Tuesday night that no one seemed to notice.
The story was about “a rehab center for young Saudi Arabian boys” that had once been lured into joining al Qaeda. After serving time in a juvenile detention facility, the boys [...]

Debunking the Four Basic 9/11 Conspiracy Myths (ie: Don’t let them label Democrats as tinfoil hat wearing lunatics.)
