Like the stereo-typical male who drives around for hours refusing to stop to ask for directions, the world has attempted to tell us that we’re driving in the wrong direction, but we’re not listening. We push for democracy in the Middle East and the result has been nothing short of an ironic slap in the […]

I’m seeing more references by conservative pundits that Democrats simply want nothing to do with appointing a conservative to the Supreme Court and will resort to any tactic to avoid doing so. The argument is that Democrats will only accept a moderate or liberal and will filibuster, if necessary, any nomination that doesn’t fit their […]

1-9-2006 @ 7:59pm. That’s when I officially had passed my breaking point for hearing politicians use the phrase, “up-or-down vote”. Of course this phrase is now being used by the Right to describe their so-called “belief” in what Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito deserves. It wasn’t that long ago that they said the same thing […]

Remember the fictional “Pottery Barn Rule” that then Secretary of State Colin Powell used to caution President Bush about Iraq (“If you break it, you own it”)?   Perhaps today’s events should be referred to as the “Time Machines are Fictional Rule”. Is anyone out there buying into any part of the President’s scheme to […]

Bill O’Reilly is at it again. For the last couple of weeks he’s been going on and on about how the Left is out to destroy and secularize Christmas by using phrases like “Happy Holidays” and referring to the corporate party as a “holiday party”. This guy really needs to see a doctor to have […]

As mentioned here last week, President Bush made an international speech in Panama City to profess that “We do not torture” while, at the same time, Dick Cheney was back home lobbying Congress to drop its anti-torture bill or to add an exception for the CIA. It’s clear to anyone paying attention that these two […]

In a move that surprised absolutely no one I’m familiar with, but apparently one that has caught a number of conservatives off-guard, Fox News has decided to air a documentary on Sunday night that presents the so-called “liberal take” on the issue of global warming. Apparently there will be a disclaimer denoting the one-sided view […]

The other night, on the way home from a weekly event I attend, I started to pay some attention to the show that happened to be on the station I was listening to several hours earlier on the way into the event. The host was someone I’d never heard before by the name of Mike […]

One of the myriad of things that drives me absolutely nuts regarding the current administration is that they continually treat us all as if we were born yesterday. Today, in Panama City, the President took this approach for all it was worth by declaring, “We do not torture.“ First of all anyone who believes we […]

In another blow to the theory of superiority of the wealthy, conservative talk show host Neal Boortz decided to leave his brain in storage for the day and demonstrate just how ridiculous the far right can sound when left to their own thinking for a while. In response to a story in the New York […]

I put together a list of people who, over the years, have said very positive things about me. It doesn’t matter how long or short the list actually is. Suffice to say I was able to get a room full of people together who all felt, quite frankly, that I’m a pretty impressive fellow. I […]

Let me say this straight out. Harriet Miers is not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice. I’m completely unmoved by the lackluster argument that so many other justices were not previously judges themselves. That argument is cut from the same cloth children everywhere use to justify mistakes by referencing the actions of others. I […]
