The Massachusetts Message

January 20, 2010

Republican Scott Brown's improbable Senate victory in the bluest of all blue states, Massachusetts, has sent the Democrats reeling. Their reflective navel-gazing has begun. I look at this as a wakeup call for the Democratic party. Will they now "get" it, or will they remain in denial ? Will they continue pushing policies the American [...]

Hate-Filled Lying Morons

January 19, 2010

Here's the world-class left-wing dunderhead Hugo Chavez, the socialist President of Venezuela, describing America's relief efforts in earthquake-ravaged Haiti : "I read that 3,000 soldiers are arriving, Marines armed as if they were going to war. There is not a shortage of guns there, my God. Doctors, medicine, fuel, field hospitals, that's what the United [...]

Drunk With Power

December 28, 2009

Here's the distinguished gentleman from Montana, Democratic Senator Max Baucus, excoriating Republicans for not going along with ObamaCare, and sounding like he just got back from a long lunch with the Jagermeister Girls. It appears Democrats weren't kidding when they said health care reform was done in the spirit(s) of Ted Kennedy. Next up on [...]

Change, As Usual

November 27, 2009

One of the most useful strategies known to politicians is some variation on the CHANGE theme, one of the keywords in President Obama's 2008 campaign. The electorate almost always desires CHANGE, because politicians almost always foul things up, making CHANGE almost always sound great. I'm hard-pressed to think of a politician who ran on an [...]

An ACORN Falls From The Tree

September 19, 2009

When two 20-year olds posing as a pimp and a prostitute were able to bring down ACORN by getting multiple ACORN offices to assist them in setting up a would-be prostitution ring for underage girls from El Salvador, I thought to myself, 'wouldn't it be nice if we had professional organizations in this country that [...]

One Liners

August 20, 2009

- One nice thing about Bill Clinton's presidency was that you could oppose his policies without being called a racist (mostly). – People who think Bush went into Iraq to enrich Halliburton have no right to complain about the Birthers. – When you go looking for "code words" for racism, aren't you just making stuff [...]

Enemies Of The People

July 31, 2009

Barney Frank (D-VT) wants the federal government to decide how much Wall Street executives (and all other executives of private companies) are paid. Barney also wants the government to decide how they are paid. Legislation to ban incentive-based pay for private corporations has been approved by the House Financial Services Committee. I don't know where [...]

Gangster Government

July 20, 2009

Everyone I know thinks the federal government is corrupt, that it is overly influenced by lobbyists, big campaign contributors, and other pay-to-play arrangements. Yet, inexplicably, about half of the folks who complain about these things, we'll call them Democrats for lack of a better word, want to see ever more and more power concentrated in [...]

Obama Fires Americorps Watchdog – Part II

June 25, 2009

This is a follow-up to the original blog piece I wrote about President Obama's firing of Gerald Walpin, the Inspector General of the CNCS, the watchdog over Americorps and other national service groups. It's looking more and more like a political hit job. From the Washington Examiner: Walpin had certainly displeased the board by his [...]

Obama Fires Americorps Watchdog

June 17, 2009

In 2006, President Bush fired eight U.S. Attorneys. It was within the rights of the executive branch to fire those attorneys, who serve at the pleasure of the President. Bush did not have to give a reason or provide cause to fire them. Following those firings, there have been 2 1/2 years of accusations, scandal, [...]
