Ron Paul States Truth…..Again

January 31, 2008

Despite the gushing Beacon editorial today, echoing establishment conventional wisdom about John McCain, the Arizona senator came off last night as no more than a "stay the course" George W. Bush clone. McCain's (and Romney's) neo-conservatism was on display for all to witness last night. If you liked W.'s foreign policy, you're gonna' love John [...]

Standing & Cheering Loudly For Lawlessness

January 29, 2008

Yesterday, 3 hours before the president's State of the Union address, I typed this….
He'll use tonight's speech as an opportunity to rail on Democrats for not protecting America somehow…..all the while what he really cares about is hiding any potentially damaging evidence to himself that could be made public in any future court cases. And [...]

FISA Farce

January 28, 2008

The Senate activity late this afternoon over the FISA bill rewrite has a certain sadness to it.
Senate Republicans, co-conspirators with the Junior White House since 2001, are still to this day going along with the childish wishes of the worst president America has ever known. It's sad to witness the Republican Senators, at this [...]

Buttocks And Birth Control

January 28, 2008

Here's some of the Talibangelical fallout from Junior Bush's faith based presidency. If Junior is looking for a, you know, legacy, he need look no further…..
WASHINGTON – The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.
The fine is for [...]

Obama Overwhelmingly Wins South Carolina, Bonus Rant

January 27, 2008

While this morning's pathetic McLatchy piece in the Beacon does its best to wear racism on its sleeve…..the truth about the Democratic South Carolina Primary is that Barack Obama won in a landslide over Hillary Clinton….55%-27%….
Returns from 95 percent of the state's precincts showed Obama winning 55 percent in the three-way race, Clinton gaining 27 [...]

The Reverend After Dark: The Black Keys

January 26, 2008

The Reverend's family will prepare for the Lord's Day tomorrow by attending the "Rain, The Beatles Experience" service this evening at Playhouse Square. We attended last year and the rapturous rush of exhilaration was simply…how shall I say it….an uplifting spiritual experience. One worth repeating.
Until I return…I love these guys…..here's Akron's finest….The [...]

When A Treaty Isn't A Treaty

January 26, 2008

The New York Times gives us the latest White House gamesmanship approach to keeping our military in Iraq endlessly. The contempt this administration has demonstrated towards our law based and Constitution guided nation is no longer breathtaking, though it is that. It is now simply predictable.
I did find some twisted humor, however, in [...]

"That's Where All The Money Is Going"

January 25, 2008

In last night's NBC, GOP candidates debate, the economy was the first topic covered by NBC's moderators. After listening to the standard supply side nonsense answers (more and deeper tax cuts plus more giveaways to business) from McCain, Romney and Giuliani, Timmy Russert finds himself on the receiving end of a Ron Paul delivered backhand.

Believe In The Magic Act

January 24, 2008

The real purpose of the invasion, regime decapitation and subsequent destruction and military occupation of the country of Iraq…..was to establish a permanent United States military presence smack dab in the center of the middle east from which American power could be projected throughout the region.
Other faux reasons were given, sure,…..dangerous weapons, dangerous leaders, complicity [...]

Why It Makes A Difference

January 23, 2008

Why does Hillary Clinton use the word "slum" in the following exchange from Monday night's CNN debate?

Smearing through association, and usually done on the sly through surrogates, has been Hillary's tactic to tamp down Obama's momentum during this primary season. But as Barack clearly explains…..American voters are sick of this kind of nonsense…..and American voters [...]
