Telling The Baggers What They Want To Hear

February 8, 2010

As we have witnessed in real time…..ex 1/2 term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, is an opportunist. Sarah is in it for the money, and perhaps the fame. That's why she quit the governor's job. Palin's brief stint as McCain's VP running mate gave her just the right amount of exposure to make leaving the [...]

Anti-Catholic Bigotry? Really?

February 6, 2010

Because I am a hellbound, critic of religion…..and an unapologetic athiest unafraid to point out hypocrisy, lies, or anti-scientific, supernaturalistic rhetoric wherever I see it…..I have often been labeled an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish bigot.
That's fine, of course,…I'm not bigoted towards any specific religion or denomination, let alone the folks who sit in the pews…..but this [...]

Desperately Seeking Attention

February 4, 2010

It started during the 2008 presidential campaign. Republicans exclusively appealing to the radical-right base. Sarah Palin was front and center leading the effort, spewing nonsensical contradictions, ignorant and mistaken sound bites, and wild-eyed wingnut-pleasing mockery of Democrats, specifically Obama.
After the GOP's crushing defeat in that election cycle, I appealed to Republicans to quit talking, you [...]

Broken Union

January 28, 2010

President Obama is a great communicator. He proved it again in last night's SOTU speech. Transcript here. He knows how to command an audiences's attention. Obama does something else very well….he speaks the truth. He's not duplicitous. People may not agree with him, but he doesn't lie. That's refreshing after the last administration, however, in [...]

January 24, 2010

South Carolina has a Lieutenent Governor by the name of Andre Bauer who is running for governor of the state. The current governor of S. Carolina is Mark Sanford, the Appalachian Trail Hiker.
Andre Bauer, not to be outdone by The Hiker, said this recently at a town hall style campaign meeting…..
"My grandmother was not a [...]

No One Could Have Predicted

January 12, 2010

Yesterday, we found out that Sarah Palin is going to go to work for FOX.
Man…didn't see that one coming.
From July 3rd, last year…The Reverend on Sarah Palin's surprise resignation of her governorship….
Upon further consideration…."could be more effective outside of government"…..I think, translates into…'I can cash in my instant-celebrity chips right now.'
Bet we see her on [...]

Same "Liberal" Media

January 7, 2010

As soon as Barack Obama was elected in November 2008, corporate media began to mount a campaign meant to bring the tax-cutting Republicans back into power. During all of 2009, corporate media members relentlessly pursued the opinions of out-of-power Republicans. Republican and conservative guests outnumbered Democratic ones on teevee "news" programs. The Sunday shows were [...]

Dithering

December 4, 2009

Many on the left thought that the Obama White House, once in place, would quickly seek to rein in the titans of Wall Street. After all, what happened in the fall of 2008 when Hank Paulson temporarily took over the George W. Bush presidency…..was no small deal. The U.S came as close to a [...]

Barack W. Obama

December 1, 2009

In his scheduled speech tonight at West Point, President Obama will make one of the biggest mistakes of his short presidency. Obama has accepted General McChrystal's recommendations on Afghanistan in their entirety. Those recommendations are unrealistic and have more to do with military testosterone, ego, and the Empire's military industrial complex than the interests of [...]

Looking Back: A Review

November 13, 2009

First it was Rev. Wright…then Bill Ayers….with all the accompanying non-biased, and Pulitzer-Prize-caliber reporting. Then came the "Hillary Clinton was cheated," narrative suggesting (wrongly) that she had more primary votes than Barak Obama. All this was followed by "Obama's only a celebrity like Paris." Then came the "how can Obama overcome his problem with white [...]
