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 [...]

The Long Awaited GOP Ideas

February 5, 2010

During the health care "debate", many Republicans rose to their feet, grabbed the nearest megaphone, and shouted that Democrats were threatening Medicare. Those collectivist Democrats, if one was to believe Republicans, were going to "eliminate services" for seniors on Medicare. At least that's what "real Americans" like ex-governor Sarah Palin and Iowa Senator Charles Grassley [...]

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 [...]

Barack, The Wingnut Slayer

January 30, 2010

And I thought Obama's SOTU address was impressive…
Yesterday, President Obama spoke and answered questions at a House Republican retreat in Baltimore. Entire transcript here. It's going to be a cold weekend…..so stay in and take the time to read the transcript or go here to watch the entire event. It's that good.
President Obama spent a [...]

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 [...]

Fighting By Surrendering

January 26, 2010

I stand corrected.
I was under the assumption that last Tuesday night's special election in Massachusetts to fill Ted Kennedy's old senate seat was……ummm….an election to fill Ted Kennedy's old senate seat.
Never have I been so mixed up.
I have been learning, since last Tuesday, that Republican candidate, Scott Brown, was actually elected President last week.
See how [...]

"Denting" The National Narrative

January 18, 2010

In a Washington Post piece, E.J. Dionne muses about Obama's declining approval numbers and the Massachusetts special election tomorrow to fill Ted Kennedy's vacant senate seat. The piece is worth reading. I'll get to one of his conclusions later in this post.
In the Massachusetts election it looks like the GOP candidate, Scott Brown, just [...]

Bankster Battles

January 15, 2010

This L.A. Times writer describes Obama's announcement of imposing fees on banks to recoup TARP losses as him channeling "his inner populist".
And here I was thinking Obama wanted to recoup the $117 billion in lost TARP monies….
President Obama channeled his inner populist this morning, announcing that he wants to impose a fee on [...]

Shameless

January 14, 2010

Limbaugh and his devoted listeners don't care much for black people, or politicians who go about helping black people devastated by a tragic natural disaster…
Reacting to ex-President Bill Clinton's appointment as UN special envoy to Haiti, radio personality Rush Limbaugh had this to say yesterday:
"I'm just gonna tell you, if I was named envoy to [...]
