There has been this new meme developing since the SOTU address that President Obama somehow breeched protocol or tradition by criticizing the Supreme Court’s decision on allowing unlimited money to flow from corporations to campaigns. This seems to be mostly fueled by the right, including some who are also critical of the decision. I wonder […]
John Boehner has constantly ignored stimulus projects happening here in Ohio, even when some of them are just a few miles from his own house. Now we have a big stimulus project coming to Ohio and I can bet that he will ignore this one also: Ohio is getting about $400 million in federal stimulus […]
Chris Matthews proved again tonight that he in no way should have the job he does.

Warren made the appeal in a letter posted on the Saddleback Church Web site. It begins “Dear Saddleback Family, THIS IS […]
Somebody just took a big dump in the Christmas stocking of all the wingnuts: A report by the Congressional Research Service says ACORN hasn’t broken any laws in the last give years, but the filmmakers who secretly taped ACORN workers may have violated state law. The CRS report, however, will give the organization’s backers some […]
I had a feeling this would happen. In all honest I don’t blame President Obama for it, I blame the weak-kneed Democrats: Rebuffed this month by skeptical lawmakers when it sought finances to buy a prison in rural Illinois, the Obama administration is struggling to come up with the money to replace the Guantánamo Bay […]
