I don’t condone the attacks on children of politicians. I really think it isn’t right, but that’s just me. I can see other people getting into it and even having some Photoshop fun. But just as attacking the children is wrong, so is using them for political cover. How often did we see the Obama […]
I think back to a time so long ago, when states were upset over the federal government using their national guard troops for a war in a foreign land. In a time when a small town in California didn’t want military recruiters there, so that town would quickly be labeled as some sort of traitor. […]
Last week we saw lots of conspiracies the right has been pushing about Obama’s trip over seas. One that really amazed me was the entire “Obama bowing” before King Abdullah. The right went viral on it (and still are). As matter of fact the idiots over at Hot Air have even put together a video: […]
The great white hype hope of the Republican Party, Sarah Palin, has decided she likes earmarks again. As matter of fact she is so defensive of them that she will send her minions out to take on anyone in the media who dares question them. Simply put – Sarah Palin is the key ingredient in […]
There has been so much talk lately trying to blame the market on Obama. Bob has been keeping track of MSNBC’s usage of a graph tracking the market since election day. So I wonder if the media would mind using some other numbers? DJIA when Bush took office: 10781 DJIA when Bush left office: 7949 […]

The media is in a frenzy about the Democrats getting ready to “fight” President Obama on his Iraq plan. Of course they are – the media loves anything that might have to do with Democratic infighting. Personally, I support Obama’s plan. Would I like to see all troops out next year? Of course. But I […]
When I did my previous post, I was searching for a transcript of Jindal’s comments. The first thing Google popped up was this transcript by FOX News. Same thing on Google News. The problem? It is missing a lot of stuff. No mention of sheriff Lee. No mention of the high speed rail or volcano […]
The fact that the stimulus isn’t seeing any Republican votes in the House and only three in the Senate isn’t a sign that it’s a bad bill, it’s a sign that it’s something against a far-right ideology that has plagued this country for too long. A perfect example of this is from the mouth of […]
Welcome back to the 90s: Rep. Darrell Issa is not working from a position of strength. As the ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Issa wants to exercise some, well, oversight when it comes to the Obama administration’s controversial decision to transfer control of the Census Bureau from professionals at the […]
