Why are we, the taxpayers, footing Gonzales’s legal bills?

The most recent controversy to surround disgraced ex Attorney General stems from a lawsuit filed against him by 8 individuals who applied for, but were refused, positions with DOJ’s Honor Program and Summer Law Intern Program. 
A June internal investigation has revealed that certain candidates were excluded because of their liberal-leaning resumes.  Whoops!  [...]

Palin Pardons One While Hundreds go to Slaughter

You really have to wonder what she was thinking.  When President George H.W. Bush officially pardoned the first Thanksgiving turkey in 1989, it became a cute little White House tradition and photo op for the President and his family. 
A lighthearted moment for the 6 o’clock news normally filled with war and famine. [...]

Be Still My Heart

I’m so overjoyed I’m incapable of commenting!
Cheney, Gonzales indicted for alleged prisoner abuse
(CNN) – Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been indicted on separate charges related to alleged prisoner abuse in federal detention centers, Willacy County, Texas, District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra told CNN Tuesday.
The indictment stems from [...]

Auto Bailout – What is the Risk to the Taxpayer?

The ‘Big Three’, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, have spent billions of dollars in the past few years betting that the American public doesn’t really want fuel efficiency.
That sounds like a harsh statement, but look at the facts:

The Hummer
Any Denali
Chevy Suburban
Ford Expedition
Cadillac Escalade
No electric car
Average MPG by [...]

Palin’s Failin’s – Sarah’s Last Chance at DC Now a Vague Memory

God slammed another door shut in Sarah Palin’s face today when incumbent Republican Senator Ted Stevens conceded the race to Democratic contender Mark Begich, thus bringing an end to 40 years of unethical behavior and malfeasance.
Good riddance to another piece of Republican garbage and good riddance to the fragile hopes of EX vice [...]

Alaskan Senate Race Still Unresolved

CNN is reporting that the controversial Senate race between convicted Republican incumbent Ted Stevens and Democratic challenger Mark Begich is still up for grabs.  At last count, Begich was leading Stevens by a margin of 1,022 votes.
But will that be enough to ensure victory?  Apparently, in Alaska there is a 15 day grace [...]

Palin’s Press Conference

The length of my comments are commensurate with the length of the article which is oddly enough, commensurate with the length of the ‘Press Conference’.
7.5 minutes, 3 questions, and 3 run on sentence answers.  That’s my girl, keep opening your mouth.
Sarah Palin’s first press conference

Palin’s Failin’s – No Senate Seat For Sarah

I have been telling friends and family that once Ted Stevens was elected, Governor Palin was going to convince him to step down and hold a special election putting herself on the ballot.  That would satisfy the pundits who are calling for Ted’s resignation and satisfy the burning yearning in Sarah’s soul to [...]

Palin’s Failin’s – Losing Ground Across the Board

It’s only been a week since John McCain, wearing poise and dignity like a fine Italian suit, conceded the 2008 Presidential election to Barack Obama.  But in that short week the fortunes of McCain’s running mate have eclipsed and started a plummeting fall that hopefully will lead Palin and family back into obscurity.
From [...]

Palin’s Failin’s – Test Scores Decline in Alaska on Palin’s Watch

After 4 years of slow growth in the Alaskan standardized testing system, students this year are showing the results of life under Palin.  With test scores plummeting across the board, I guess it’s ‘All Children Left Behind’ for Sarah’s state.
It’s as important as ever that Alaska has the socialized welfare program where the [...]

Palin’s Failin’s: GOP ticket was ’status quo’

Am I the only one who sees the irony in this article published in the Politico web site?  Two years ago, when McCain decided to run yet again for president, Palin was still trying to live down having been Mayor of Wasilla in her bid for the Governors office.

Status quo is one thing, [...]

Obama Death Threats – Palin’s Fault?

In a startling news story, the US Secret Service has laid the blame for the spike in death threats against then presidential candidate Barack Obama right on Sarah Palin’s doorstep.
While we’re all agreed that Sarah Palin was the cause behind the spectacular fiery crash of the Republican presidential campaign this summer, it’s interesting [...]

Sarah Palin Swiped the Clothes – Did She Get Hotel Towels as Well??

Sarah Palin has apparently ‘forgotten’ to return all of the clothes that were purchased for her and her family when she became John McCain’s running mate. The clothing, in an attempt to make her presentable to the masses, was purchased at such upscale stores as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s; and at [...]

Harvard vs. RIAA – I wonder who will win this one?

A Harvard law professor has filed a counterclaim in the case of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, et al. v. Joel Tenenbaum.  The counterclaim insists that the suit originally filed against Mr. Tenenbaum was illegal and unconstitutional.
Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson insists that the Digital Theft Deterrence and Copyright Damages Improvement Act of [...]

Barack Obama – 44th President of the United States

Ready to follow in the footsteps of the great American Presidents like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and FDR, Barack Obama was elected to the highest office in the land yesterday in what I will call a landslide victory.
Sweeping the polls in at least 26 states, Barack far exceeded the 270 electoral votes needed to [...]

HIGH Voter Turnout Expected – Experts Agree

You may experience some difficulties at the polls tomorrow.  And I’m not talking about the difficulties that are Republican sponsored like this one encouraging Democrats to vote on November 5th. (ed. This is NOT true.  Everyone votes November 4th).
As more and more voters are expected to report to the polls tomorrow, there are [...]

Election Day is Tomorrow

The future of our country will be determined tomorrow. 
It’s really just that simple.  Will our future be as bright and shiny as it was for my parents on November 8, 1960 when John F. Kennedy defeated Richard M. Nixon?  Or will our future be a continuation of the last eight years under this Republican [...]
