Top Conservative Republicans Say Palin Should Step Down

Syndicated columnist and rabid Republican Kathleen Parker has noted that Sarah Palin should step aside.  Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, seems to think Sarah is taking on water.  Chris Lacivita, a GOP strategist, notes that Palin ain’t no Hillary Clinton.
With even hard-core Republicans doubting and criticizing the sensationalism of the Veep candidate, how [...]

Katie Couric Interviews Sarah Palin on Foreign Policy Experience

I sat here and tried to write some copy that describes my astonishment at the transcript below.  I just couldn’t do it.  I am so dumbfounded that words escape me.  She couldn’t even say she has ever been a part of a trade mission.
Read for yourself and then follow the link to watch [...]

They Said It On Late Night TV

 
Conan O’Brien:  "Everybody is trying to find out more about Sarah Palin. Someone was able to hack into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! email account because she hadn’t taken the proper security measures. Yeah. So, folks, it’s official. No one in the Palin family uses protection."
Craig Ferguson:  "But the dirt is beginning to come out. [...]

McCain Out of Touch

Presidential hopeful John McCain has shown time and again that he is far out of touch with the world as it is today.  He displays no clue as to the severity of our economic crisis, he has no idea where Spain is and that they are our ally in Afghanistan, and he has [...]

What Will Santa Bring This Year?

Almost across the board retailers have bemoaned lackluster sales during the all important ‘Back to School’ season.  Viewed as one of the three major sales events in many stores, a poor showing this year could be a harbinger of tough times leading up to the holiday season.
The next major milestone is in just [...]

Obama Strikes Back Against McCain-Palin ‘Change’ Claims

“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’ it’s still going to stink,” Obama said. “After eight years, we’ve had enough of the same old thing. It’s time to bring about real change to Washington and that’s the choice you’ve got in this election.”
We’ve been inundated with false [...]

Republicans Restrict Access to Palin

In what can only be viewed as desperate self preservation, the Republican Party has severely restricted press access to the GOP Vice Presidential candidate.  Citing a requirement to treat her with "some level of respect and deference", campaign manager Rick Davis has to date only accepted Charles Gibson of ABC access.
What is it [...]

A Constituents View of Sarah Palin (And it’s not flattering!)

Anne Kilkenny, long-time resident of Wasilla, Alaska writes about Ms. Palin, her ability to keep secrets and her inability to either balance a budget or live within one.  Anne also spends a few moments discussing Sarah’s abuse of power. 
Just what we need, another Vice President who believes they can make whatever rules [...]

Be Still My Heart

And to think this almost slipped through the cracks…..
Oh, if this were only to come to pass.  That the lying and thieving current administration get their just desserts.  What a day that will be.
We’ll be dancin’, dancin’ in the streets…….
Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush
· Biden says criminal violations will be pursued [...]

National Organization for Women weights in on Palin

The National Organization for Women (NOW) doesn’t think too highly of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s Vice-Presidential running mate.  In fact, from the tone and the content of the following article, they think quite poorly of her.
I think that the majority of the voters that McCain & Co. thought they were targeting will see [...]

Double Standard of the Week!

Mukasey Shields Former Justice Officials From Prosecution

In yet another travesty of justice by Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the Justice Department officials implicated in the illegal hiring practices issues can rest easy tonight.  They no longer have to fear prosecution from Still President Bush’s tool, Mikey Mukasey.
Stating that "not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a [...]

Republican Economics Leads to $2.3 BILLION Loss at Fannie Mae

Taking a page from the republican book of economics, Fannie Mae has posted an impressive 2.3 BILLION dollar loss in the three month period from April 1 through 30 June of this year.  That is actually a total loss of $4.27 BILLION since posting a profit of $1.97 Billion last year.
Our government sponsored [...]

Bin Laden’s Driver Gets 5 1/2 Years in the Pokey

I imagine that Still President Bush and his shotgun totin’ sidekick Herr Cheney are all but gnashing their teeth at the miscarriage of justice that took place in Cuba earlier this week.
In case you live under a rock, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, the former driver of Osama Bin Laden, was sentenced to a [...]

Still President Bush Blocks Legal Actions By Congress

I want to be shocked.  I should be shocked.  But I’m actually just weary of the same executive privilege bullshit that seems to spew out of the white house like vomit at a fraternity house toga party.
Still President Bush has decided that the interview conducted by a special prosecutor with Still Vice President [...]

Mukasey Keeps DoJ Like Gonzales Left It, Corrupt

I don’t quite understand the tactics of either the Congress or the Senate.  Rather than enjoy the next 178 days impeaching both of the liars and thieves we have in the White House, they would prefer to incessantly question someone like Michael Mukasey, the newest stain on the Justice Department.  Maybe they are [...]
