Just now being reported on CNN.

Bush: “We had over $18 billion in earmarks last year. We need to cut that in half this session” And which party had control of everything last year? Sounds like a great 2008 campaign soundbite to me. The Republican President admits that his own party is horrible with our money.

If I were a shareholder of a corporation and heard news that the corporation paid a CEO $14 million to be fired (this is what the Gap just did), my stock would instantly be sold. Sadly this is something we hear about more and more. Luckily we have a Democratically controlled Congress, and one Representative […]

To give you a taste of Ohio politics, here is something going on in my own backyard. I posted last September about the lockout at AK Steel, a prominent area employer.

It was something that sounded so James Bond(ish). Well now we have the Defense Department issuing their own mia culpa […]

There is all this flack over Rich Little headlining the Correspondents’ dinner this year. Reading the article on Editor and Publisher, I was amused at the final paragraph: Scully has said that the choice of Little, who practices a milder former of humor than Colbert, had nothing to do with any controversy surrounding Colbert’s performance […]
