I have reported previously about the criminal problems facing my home county in Ohio. Today another big Republican name has been indicted: A former Butler County commissioner, state lawmaker and Children Services director has been indicted on federal charges. Mike Fox was indicted on six charges of mail or wire fraud, while attorney Robert Schuler […]
I just got done reading this article on Slate, which argues that whitehouse.gov moving to Drupal is a “political disaster waiting to happen”. Let me take some time to address each of these lies. Drupal knows best. It’s not that Drupal thinks you’re evil. It just thinks you’re ignorant. In a basic setup, the software […]
That’s the best growth in 2 years and to many signals an end to the recession. Why couldn’t Obama turn the economy around?
This is bipartisanship you can believe in: Former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel will soon have a new role in the Obama administration, he will be named co-chair of President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. In that capacity, Hagel will be charged with overseeing the work of the intelligence agencies for the president and investigating violations of law […]
When news broke yesterday that Lieberman would back a Republican filibuster against health care my instant reaction was “so”.

Biden’s unfavorable rating in the new poll is 40 percent, […]
The monthly ratings are getting ready to come out and the death spiral of CNN is continuing in a tragic way. They will now be in 4th placed, right behind their own Headline News. Probably one of the most interesting tidbits hidden in this article is the fact that Lou Dobbs is in last place […]
From the typical type of garbage headline I have come to expect from the Politico: PRESIDENT OBAMA TIES GEORGE W. BUSH ON GOLF President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he’s already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years. Needless to say […]
Following up on yesterday’s news of the White House now using the open source content management software Drupal to power their site I decided I needed to expand on it a bit more for my less tech savvy readers.
