Ten Ways President Obama Can Revive the Economy and Create Jobs TODAY Without Spending ONE DIME

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, September 19, 2011

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 [...]

What’s the Big Idea? I want your best ideas for growing the economy.

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, August 22, 2011

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” [...]

Are Disaster-Capitalists Advising Republicans to Say Debt Ceiling “No Big Deal”?

By Mugsy - Last updated: Friday, July 22, 2011

Special Edition On Tuesday, the news reported that gold had hit a record high, breaking $1,600 an ounce for the first time in history. This got me thinking: “There are people out there that stand to make a lot of money if this country fails to raise the Debt Ceiling.” As people grow nervous over the [...]

Paul-bearer. An eulogy for three ideologies.

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, May 16, 2011

Last week was a bad week for Republicans named “Paul”. The Libertarian Dynamic Duo of Rand & Ron Paul once again showed the world why the term “Libertarian” is just a convenient label for people that want to take already bad Conservative principles and push them to their most absurd extremes. And Republican wunderkind “Paul [...]

Obama says “Get serious” about oil with energy plan that’s anything but.

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, April 4, 2011

On Wednesday, President Obama delivered his much anticipated Energy Policy speech, telling listeners that it was time to ‘get serious’ about our dependence on foreign oil. So, just what is the Obama Administration’s idea of “getting serious”? Reducing our current “11 million barrels a day” of oil imports “by one-third” by 2025. I don’t know about [...]

The Only Logical End Game for Libya: Elections

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, March 28, 2011

On all four Sunday shows yesterday, the common topic was Libya. “Should we of gotten involved” and “should we of explained how we intend to get out before we intervened”, were the questions of the day. The one question NO ONE asked and NO ONE volunteered an answer to was “How do we get out?” Donald Rumsfeld of [...]

How to give Republicans their tax cut without destroying the economy

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, November 15, 2010

Republicans say “corporate tax cuts create jobs, increase tax revenue and reduce the Deficit”. It’s total bullshit of course. It’s what George H.W. Bush called “Voodoo Economics” 30 years ago when he ran for president in 1980 against Ronald Reagan. You can’t find a single example of it happening anywhere in history, but that doesn’t stop them from repeating [...]

Katrina devastation five years later shows folly of relying on Corporate America for recovery

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, August 23, 2010

Five years ago next Sunday, Hurricane Katrina made landfall just East of New Orleans. Despite warnings, the levees protecting the city gave way (thanks in part to the Bush Administration slashing funding for levee reconstruction). The city was devastated. Five years later, the New Orleans suburbs look like a ghost town, vacant lots overgrown with weeds & brush. [...]

If I Were President. The mistakes Obama is making.

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, June 14, 2010

“If I were President…”. How many conversations have started like that? The other day, my mother… whom agrees with me politically… asked if I thought President Obama was doing a good job. There is a mood in the country (myself included) that is frustrated that President Obama doesn’t seem to “get it” on a range [...]

How to fix everything: The oil leak, the Gaza blockade, unemployment

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, June 7, 2010

Why is it that for every dumb problem, there is an overly complex & doomed to failure “solution”? The Gulf of Mexico is quickly becoming choked with thick brown oil sludge as “fix” after “fix” fails miserably. As if things weren’t bad enough for Israel, last weeks “siege” of a cargo ship filled with “humanitarian [...]

The Official “the LOST finale sucked” thread. Seriously.

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, May 24, 2010

I just finished watching the series finally of ABC’s “Lost”, and was seriously disappointed… disappointed to the point where I must break from the usual topic of politics to rant about it (and provide a place for all of you to share your own thoughts.) After watching every episode of the entire six-year series, the [...]

GOP: The Party of Lawlessness. Four Decades of Criminal Behavior.

By Mugsy - Last updated: Monday, February 1, 2010

I‘m probably not telling you anything that hasn’t crossed your mind already, but sometimes we just need to say things out loud for them to sink in: For all their talk about “patriots” and “love of America”, the GOP really HAS become a party with a total lack of respect for the law (apologies to [...]
