Uncle Al

November 15, 2010

It was just so great to hear from the fallen Oracle, Alan Greenspan, yesterday. Uncle Al. It's always a pleasure to hear the latest wisdom from the greatest economic psycho-babble specialist in modern times. Memory Lane 2001 is always pleasant in the autumn….. The Fed chief had long been a proponent of using budget surpluses [...]

Droopy Dog Details What's Most Important

October 26, 2010

The minority leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), occasionally slips up and speaks the truth….. "[W]e need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, 'Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and [...]

Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina

June 23, 2010

This was the view from our 4th floor patio. Beach was approximately 200 feet from our complex. It was tough, but we suffered through it. Dawn…. Daytime…. Dusk…. Pictures are of the Oceanic restaurant next door to Surf Suites, where we stayed. Rooms at the Surf Suites run approximately $300 per night….and I gotta' say….worth [...]

Super-Soakers

June 11, 2010

Often, The Reverend refers to the American mainstream corporate media as the Villagers or the Knee Pad Media. Not quite as snappy and smart as Sister Sarah's repetitive "lamestream media" reference….but then, I can't see huge piles of money, or Russia,…or something….from my back porch, either. I realize that the name-calling that I do is [...]

Primary Considerations

June 9, 2010

There was a special Democratic runoff election yesterday in Arkansas. Neither Blanche Lincoln, the incumbent Senator, nor Bill Halter, her challenger, had won 50.1% of the Democratic primary vote in Arkansas a few short weeks ago. So there was a runoff election yesterday. Unexpectedly, in light of pre-runoff polling, Blanche Lincoln won the runoff last [...]

Defending The Indefensible

June 2, 2010

The U.S., apparently powerless in the wake of the Chosen's "bloody massacre" aboard the Turkish humanitarian aid-carrying vessel bound for Gaza, has made no demands on Israel and has refused to condemn Israel for it's actions. The U.S. corporate-whore media spent all day yesterday defending Israel's right to do what-the-hell-ever it says it needs to [...]

Vatican Raises Peter Defense

May 16, 2010

The Vatican says they're not guilty of anything that U.S. bishops did or did not do in covering up, or not covering up, for Roman Catholic priests in the U.S. who abused and raped young Roman Catholic Church altar boys….. The Vatican on Monday will make its most detailed argument yet for why it is [...]

Drill, Baby, Drill Singers Silenced

April 30, 2010

On April 1, The Reverend typed this out…. Obama now joins the cerebral and Very Serious, ex-1/2-term-governor-puffball, Sarah Palin….and the WTF, Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele….in the wingnut chorus of "drill, baby, drill." The "most liberal" Obama has lifted the ban on a good portion of offshore oil drilling. Will drilling more offshore lead [...]

Be Like Mike

April 23, 2010

Seriously now….setting all snark aside….RNC Chairman Michael Steele deserves credit for speaking the truth about his own political party. Michael Steele deserves a standing ovation from the American people for being this honest….. Why should an African-American vote Republican? "You really don't have a reason to, to be honest — we haven't done a very [...]

Matt Lauer……Villager

March 31, 2010

Matt Lauer is a mild-mannered, seemingly non-threatening, daytime teevee host. Lauer is not a political news person…..even if he plays one in his role on NBC. My beef with the Matt Lauer teevee types is that they always seem to make themselves part of whatever story that's being "reported." But that's a personal pet peeve [...]
