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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

After having suffered through 39 Democratic Primary Elections and 14 Democratic Caucuses, the Democratic party finally has a presumptive candidate for President.
Over the course of exactly 5 months the Democratic party has endured what is probably the worst, most vicious primary in its history.  With suggestions of sexism and racism from both sides […]

Is what Jon Stewart calls "The Long, Flat, Seemingly Endless Bataan Death March To The White House" finally over?  Have we finally seen the last petty sniping between Democrats?
And more importantly, do we have time to heal our party from the horrible machinations of the Clinton’s and their rabid quest to […]

By now, everyone and his brother knows that Sen. Barack Obama stood in for an ailing Ted Kennedy and spoke at Wesleyan’s 2008 commencement this past weekend.  I was impressed by some of the points that Barack raised and wanted to share.
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Thank you, President Roth, for that generous introduction, and […]

Scott McClellan, former White House Press Secretary, is publishing a new expose’ on the his time as part of the bush administration.  The book includes excerpts like "President George W Bush was not "open and forthright" on Iraq and rushed to an unnecessary war." and "One of the worst disasters in our nation’s […]

Well, another series of primary elections are over and with the two Democratic candidates splitting the states, it’s still obvious that Obama has the numerical advantage over the Clinton’s.  Splitting the two states with a win in Oregon and a loss in Kentucky, Obama now has a total of 1953 votes.  As more […]

Today, Edward Moore ‘Ted’ Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.  After suffering a seizure at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport on Cape Cod this past weekend, Ted was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital.  He has been resting and undergoing a battery of tests since the incident and today the news of […]

It looks like Barack Obama could end today with enough votes to declare himself the Democratic National Candidate for President.  And a long, crazy road it’s been to reach this point.  We have never waited this long for a candidate, nor spent this much money trying to choose one.
Obama Is Expected to Hit […]

A situation eerily familiar to those who have followed the recent Anonymous vs. $cientology brouhaha, Wikileaks has announced that certain Church of the Latter Day Saints (AKA Mormon) documents have surfaced.  In a knee-jerk whiplash of a reaction the Mormon hierarchy has sent multiple copyright infringement notices demanding that the documents be removed […]

With West Virginia behind him, Barack Obama is looking towards the last few primaries and the general election in November.  It is worthy of note that he is less concerned with his erstwhile Democratic opponents than he is with John McCain.  Really, John McCain is the one to beat now that he has […]

In a decisive 14 percentage point lead, Barack Obama clearly took the day in North Carolina.  Barack, with 1735 pledged delegates has widened his lead over the Clinton’s with 1602 pledged delegates. 
Garnering the larger percentage of the remaining free delegates Barack seems unstoppable at this point.  While the Clinton’s are clinging to […]

During a speech in Munster, Indiana on Friday, Obama responded to the criticism aimed at him for not following along with the other Republican candidates in calling for a suspension of the national gas tax. 
Both the Clinton’s and McCain propose to eliminate the 18.4 cents-a-gallon federal gas tax as a short term […]
