Just not on Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Obama’s approval ratings will continue to go up because the stimulus package passed and that makes Obama a winner, and Americans “love winners”. Really? The past two years George Bush was able to get whatever he wanted out of Congress, yet look at his approval rating. Also […]
Bob has found a couple of interesting articles. It turns out back during the last census, the Bush administration made decisions involving the decision that made it so the Census Bureau no longer had the authority to adjust the count. This was after this: [Bush Commerce Secretary Don Evans] Friday issued a rule that makes […]
Ryan Lizza has a great piece up about the Democratic ticket. This part really caught my eye: Biden consulted with his closest political advisers, including Ted Kaufman, Mike Donilon, and John Marttila, all of whom have been with him since the early days of his career. “They convinced me that I could have more influence […]

It’s the latest move in a larger struggle within […]
Rasmussen has a new poll out for Ohio and Hillary’s lead has slipped to only 5% now. It looks like NAFTA is a key player in the decisions, which are hurting Hillary: By a 53% to 14% margin, voters believe that Obama opposes NAFTA while there are mixed perceptions on where Clinton stands. Thirty-five percent […]
Yesterday when I blogged about the Marine being convicted of killing an Iraqi citizen, I also talked about the problems out troops are facing by being forced into these extended stays. To further that point, here is an article, published today, about a soldier being released from medical care earlier and sent back to Iraq: […]
A group of Ford Mustang owners wanted to make a calendar of their cars and sell it through Cafe Press. Well there’s a problem. Ford Motor Company is saying that they hold a copyright on all images of Ford vehicles – even if it is your own car! With decisions like this, it’s no wonder […]
