Last week Sen. John Cornyn put out a web ad fighting to keep the wasteful F-22 project alive. One of the reasons was simply crazy: “It’s important to our national security because we’re not just fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,” Cornyn says. “We’re fighting — we have graver threats and greater threats than that: […]

Here we go with more of the dumbasses on the right and their constant search for a new outrage. This week it appears to be the fact that Obama played golf this weekend, and it’s his 10th round in as many weeks. Here’s Gateway Pundit: It’s the worst recession since the Great Depression. Dear Leader […]

Yesterday Howard Kurtz criticized Lou Dobbs for the entire birther thing. The amazing part is that this came on the same network as Dobbs: I got to give CNN kudos above MSNBC for this. They were able to air both sides, including public criticizing. I wonder if MSNBC will ever follow suit?

MSNBC reported that both Prof. Gates and Officer Crowley have agreed to the meeting at the White House with President Obama over the arrest this week. I was just thinking of the outcome this could have. We could end up seeing an entire new chapter opened up when we talk about race – a chapter […]

Here’s what really started the whole birther movement: In the final months of the 2008 presidential race, Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) campaign learned of a lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania that asked the state to strip Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of the Democratic nomination on suspicion that he was not an American citizen. The complaint for […]

I have been told by quiet a few attorneys in the past that if the police pull you over and tell you to get out of the car then you should ask them if you are under arrest. If not then you don’t have to. The same thing happened to Henry Gates. He was told […]

For more proof that Republicans don’t care about health care reform as much as being obstructionists we turn to Roy Blunt: “Our bill is never going to get to the floor, so why confuse the focus? We clearly have principles; we could have language, but why start diverting attention from this really bad piece of […]

This whole birther movement is just plain craziness. I equate them with the “truthers” who constantly try to say 9/11 was some big Dr. Evil style plot put together by Bush and Co. There is one big difference though. The truthers never received the support of big names in either political party. The birthers seems […]

Could you imagine if Pat Buchanan were on FOX and did the same racist rants he did on MSNBC? We would see images like this nightly on Countdown. Instead he is safe on base and there are no tags or tag backs.

Growing up in the 70s I have fond memories of Walter Cronkite. I remember hearing his voice fill our living room every evening. With his passing we also lose what greatness in journalism really was. In 15 minutes Cronkite could give you the news that was important to our nation. Could you imagine someone doing […]
