Standing Guard

July 21, 2011

I'm just so sick of the D.C. debt ceiling amateur theater production that I thought I'd share something a bit more personal today. Last week was a sad week for The Reverend household. Two extended family members died untimely deaths from cancer. The 55 year old was a great guy with a sharp wit who [...]

"Cut, Cap…and Pretend"

July 19, 2011

Slogans are great, aren't they? "Things Go Better With Coke", "We Bring Good Things To Light", "15 Minutes Can Save You 15%",…..slogans must suffice when substance is lacking and branding is the only goal. President Obama issued a new slogan shortly after the midterms that he entitled, "Winning the Future." A stupid slogan…it was. But [...]

Placing Blame

July 14, 2011

According to TPM reports last night, President Obama is getting sick and tired of the Republican intransigence over raising the debt ceiling. Obama walked out of tense talks Wednesday evening particularly perturbed with Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA).

Toothless Droopy Dawg Rolls Over

July 13, 2011

How humiliating. After barking and snarling about no debt increase deal without Medicare cuts, yesterday, the Dawg who can only bark, Senate GOP Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, rolled over and surrendered his soft and paunchy political underbelly up to Democratic President Barack Obama. Droopy Dawg Mitch McConnell anticipated the political pain coming his way if [...]

Smearing Obama's Face In It

June 24, 2011

It is little wonder our country is in the economic shape it's in. We are in the middle of a nasty recession. Market demand is too low. While sitting on top of a mountain of cash, big business is barely expanding because of that lack of market demand…..and Democratic senators like corporation-serving Kent Conrad of [...]

The Land Of Lies

June 23, 2011

It seems that Bloomberg took a new poll…. A majority of Americans say job growth would best be revived with prescriptions favored by the (Republican) party: cuts in government spending and taxes, the Bloomberg Poll shows. Even 40 percent of Democrats share that view. …. Though Americans rate unemployment and the economy as a greater [...]

Libertarian "Freedom"

May 14, 2011

Ron Paul (R-TX) announced this week that he is running (again) for the GOP presidential candidacy in 2012. Paul is the original Tea Partier. The Tea Partier of all Tea Partiers. A Tea Party member's libertarian. Immediately, Paul was interviewed by cable "news" anchors. Anchors anxious to find some new controversial and stupid thing to [...]

May 10, 2011

House Republicans are playing with fire and their Tea Party constituents are supplying them with the matches. Yesterday, House Speaker, John Boehner found himself between a Tea Bag and a hard place. Boehner chose the Tea Bag. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday laid down an aggressive new marker in the debt limit fight, [...]

Medicare Mendacity

April 25, 2011

First it was the audacious GOP governors of the Tea Party persuasion. Governors, Kasich of Ohio, Walker of Wisconsin, Snyder of Michigan and Scott of Florida….all came out of their inaugural gates like a house on fire. The GOP governors had apparently mainlined some artificially sweetened, make-believe mandate from voters. Pretending to be balancing their [...]

The Stench Of Rot

April 20, 2011

The number one reason why America is rotting from the inside out is the legalized corruption found in our political process. One of my conservative in-laws asked me again recently what I saw as the biggest problem facing America. My answer was the same as it was the year before…..the bribery system inherent in our [...]
