The world is going to hell in a hand-basket.  Oil prices at all time highs, the mortgage crisis forcing tens of thousands of American families out of their homes, and greedy Republican warmongers have embroiled us in an unwinnable war in Iraq.
Still President Bush has responded by hosting a Tee Ball game on […]

John McCain has bowed to the will of the GOP this week by re-organizing the management of his presidential campaign.  With many prominent republicans openly fearful that McCain is out of touch with the majority of the voters it apears to be time to attempt to re-invent McCain yet again.
Springing into action at […]

Washington and California are about to join only 3 other states in enacting tougher cell phone use laws.  Starting next week both states have outlawed the use of cell phones without a hands-free headset while driving.   In California, you can get pulled over simply for having the cell phone held up to your […]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has come out against the energy policy of presidential candidate John McCain.  Criticizing the much ridiculed proposal to lift the ban on off-shore oil drilling, Arnold has made no secret of his disdain for the proposal - even with Florida Governor Charlie Crist, a supporter of the proposal within earshot.
Arnold […]

John McCain is trailing in almost every aspect of every poll.  He and his staff are desperate to try to find some topic upon which to build a campaign.  With all of the topics available, with all of the issues that American’s are dealing with on a daily basis, the McCain campaign seems […]

In quite a few news articles the mass media is reporting news that really isn’t quite news.  It seems that Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have very different views on both national security and the recent Supreme Court decision that affirmed any prisoner of the US government has the right of Habeas […]

As our Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, continues to insist, there is no reason to imagine that the sub-prime mortgage problems will result in the same level of global crisis that the Enron scandal did just seven years ago.  Mukasey has gone on record as saying that "…he did not feel the mortgage crisis […]

In a stunning move for the fight against the Cult Church of $cientology (Co$) one of their rank and file members has assaulted a peaceably protesting member of Anonymous.  I can only assume that the Christian value of ‘turn the other cheek’ has little or no value to a $cientologist.  (What am I saying, of […]

As much of the world watches breathlessly, Barack and his crew are working to pick a Vice-Presidential candidate that will have uncontroversial mass appeal.  They are hoping to pick someone who can be shown to have the appeal and therefore the backing of major demographic groups.
We know that the Clinton’s are not on […]

It seems like Still President (S.P.) Bush is about to go against the long held position on federal bans in off shore oil exploration and drilling.  With gasoline exceeding $4.00 a gallon, both S.P. Bush and his clone John McCain have declared in recent speeches that the time has come to destroy our […]

Some of you might remember that I favored an Obama/Edwards ticket.  So much so in fact that I created their bumper sticker for them.

Well, an article that I stumbled across this morning seems to indicate that John Edwards might have changed his mind regarding that all important number 2 slot on the ticket.  The […]

In a not very surprising reaction to yesterday’s Supreme Court’s Boumediene decision, John McCain has stated uncategorically that this decision is "..one of the worst.." decisions ever.  Why would he say something this inflammatory?  Oh, right, because he’s a nasty Republican Bush clone.
He’d like nothing more than to deny these so-called terrorists the […]

In an unprovoked verbal attack on yet another sovereign nation, our Still President Bush has told Iran that all options are open to him as courses of action to thwart their nuclear ambitions.
Hoping to garner support among the few European leaders who are not ignoring him, still President Bush wants more punitive measures […]

Apparently Still President Bush has fled to Europe today.  Claiming a mission of summits and discussion, George headed to Slovenia today.  I’m actually surprised that George knows about Slovenia.  Or maybe not, they do have two oil companies……….
With foreign policy in shambles, a never-ending war in Iraq, the economy in the sewer, mortgage fraud […]

This is so sick…….

Both of the presumptive nominees have declined an invitation from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ABC News to host the first of many Town Hall debates.  Both candidates stated a desire to not limit the event to one network.
Rather than decline the original invitation I would have liked to see them bargain for […]

With Hillary now out of the picture, (permanently I hope), Senator Barack Obama has fully turned his attention to the real opponent, John McCain.  With only 5 months to mobilize his forces against the true evil that threatens our country, Barack has started his campaigning in traditionally Republican strongholds that have resisted Democratic […]

It was a long, hard fought race, and the Clinton’s were the losers. And now, what I consider to be months late, they have accepted reality and recognized Sen. Barack Obama as the Democratic Candidate for the 44th President of the United States. Clinton, 60, cried uncle in front of a crowd […]

Well, it looks like our favorite DoJ tool has said something stupid again.  Well, to be honest, if AG Michael Mukasey opens his mouth you can be sure that what comes out will be stupid.
Describing the current national recession causing Mortgage fraud issue as ‘local in nature’ he then characterized the issue as […]

Rather than concede gracefully and get back to her full time job as kibitzer in the Senate, Hillary has been continuing to campaign for the Democratic Nomination.  What madness is this?
Why is she continuing to run her campaign into the ground?  The last figure I can find puts her at $20,000,000.00 (that’s twenty […]
