Politics 2016 Republican Debate #1

Many of us dream of growing up to be President of the United States one day and for nearly all of us that dream fades away over time as reality sets in just as we realize we’re also not very likely to be elected to the Hall of Fame as the greatest home run hitter […]

President Obama said that if we provided the $787 billion stimulus package that unemployment wouldn’t go above 8%, right? He promised this, right? Everyone on the right knows this to be true. It’s been all over conservative talk radio. It’s been all over Fox News. It’s come out of the mouths of most of the […]

Representative Anthony Weiner must resign. While it’s true that he broke no civil laws that no longer is the issue. None of his initial story made any sense and that suggested that he thought of everyone who supported him as so below him that no one would figure any of this out. Now he’s admitted […]

Why is it that every single mistake out of Sarah Palin‘s mouth is a “gotcha” moment? No one is able to ask her a single question that, if she gets it wrong, will be made out to represent the press lying in wait for her with a “trick question”. “Do you know about Paul Revere?“, […]

So after Michele Bachmann screwed up a key Revolutionary-era story you’d think everyone would be making sure any reference they’d make would be vetted for accuracy. Instead, yesterday we get Sarah Palin confidently telling an audience that Paul Revere road around ringing bells (?) warning the British and telling them they won’t be taking away […]

Last night I did a bit of Fox News watching as Jon Stewart had Part II of his debate with Bill O’Reilly hosted on Bill’s show. The hilarious snippets of this evening involved all the parts when someone would talk about Newt Gingrich and his comments regarding Congressman Paul Ryan‘s bill with regard to how […]

So in a desperate attempt to get people to consider him a viable candidate, ex-Governor Mitt Romney said today he wouldn’t cut the defense budget if he’s elected President. In doing so he just lost any chance he had of getting my vote—and he had a chance as I respect the guy and what he […]

So, as I noted, one of my initial thoughts after hearing of the death of Osama bin Laden was how Sean Hannity would manage to twist the news into a big negative for President Obama. I could just see him turning over in his sleep trying to work out the degree to which he’d have […]

Last night, as the news of Osama bin Laden‘s death spread my initial thoughts of euphoria turned to the inevitable re-spinning that would no doubt go on for those who are not supporters of this administration. I knew, without any doubt, that there would be a long list of those who would see nothing but […]

We’re now one of only three countries in the world that has not adopted the metric system. The other two are Liberia and Burma. Both of those have recently begun the process of transitioning to the metric system. Like a spoiled child, we’ll be the only one in the community who obstinately refuses to listen […]

I’ve mentioned local radio host (Philly area) Dom Giordano before. He’s being featured on our local conservative radio station now that Glenn Beck‘s been given the boot and I’m not sure which one is worse really. Giordano is continually abrasive with any view that’s divergent from his own while also suffering from the typical blindness […]

News today brings us word that Minnesota’s infamous 6th district Congresswoman, Michele Bachmann, has claimed to have uncovered an incredible legislative fraud perpetrated by the previous Congress. In a video statement lasting a bit over 2 minutes Bachmann suggests that the bill for “Obamacare” contained $105 billion in funding that no one knew about. She […]
