Like most I have been very interested in the Mark Sanford story. I think it really highlights the downfalls of the person coined a top GOP contender in 2012. What does it say about the leadership of Stanford when he just disappears for days without letting anyone know where he will be, including his own […]
He did this last year unsuccessfully, hopefully it will be different this time: Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts has introduced two pieces of legislation on marijuana — one medical, and one recreational — that deserve a lot more attention (and support by fellow House members) than they have been getting. The first would change federal […]
All the Republican critics of President Obama’s handling of Iran have resorted to the old Gipper offense. Mostly what they are saying is Obama should “do what Reagan did”. Richard Cohen, and I can’t believe I am saying this, sets the record straight on this: Some of Obama’s critics have faulted him for not doing […]
This has had me laughing for awhile now: “Conferenece”? Sure misspellings happen. Hell I’ve had a lot, but the sweet irony here is that this banner was hanging above Pat Buchanan and Peter Brimelow arguing for English-only initiatives. And with Buchanan always showing his pride for his racism, why does MSNBC still have him on? […]
This from a new CBS/New York Times poll is stunning: The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector. [SNIP] The national telephone survey, which […]
What if we had President John McCain right now? With everything going on in Iran, I wouldn’t doubt one bit if we would be at war. No matter what Obama says about Iran, McCain thinks he is being “too soft”. Anything short of him saying “upon my orders our troops have entered Iran to remove […]
A letter was written by Doug Hampton to FOX’s Megyn Kelly last week. Hampton is the former aide to Senator John Ensign, and also the husband of the woman Ensign was having the affair with. Jed has the entire letter posted here, but something really interesting is this part: The unethical behavior and immoral choice […]
Whenever I head out for a day of peddling I make sure I have certain items. Those include a cell phone, plenty of water, something to much on, repair items, and most importantly, my identification. Sadly a bicyclist in the town south of me was severely injured this week and unresponsive. He had no identification […]
Bob dug up this interesting list of the top recipients of campaign money from the insurance industry in the House and Senate. TOP 10 SENATE RECIPIENTS: McCain, John (R-AZ) $251,834 McConnell, Mitch (R-KY) $200,200 Baucus, Max (D-MT) $183,750 Lieberman, Joe (I-CT) $101,400 Chambliss, Saxby (R-GA) $98,600 Collins, Susan (R-ME) $96,500 Kyl, Jon (R-AZ) $90,450 Warner, […]
Something interesting is happening that isn’t getting much attention. There seems to be a growing fracture in the GOP over how President Obama is handling the situation in Iran. On one side you have people like John McCain complaining that we aren’t meddling enough in the election, then on the other side Republicans like Mel […]
