IN what I predicted 3 months ago (which I will not claim an y prognostication power for since it was obvious to most rational thinking people) following the mid term elections that put the democrats in power, the base of the left has decided that their "toadies" are not being toady enough.  Yep!  The loons on the left are now trashing the democrats for not basically doing what they promised, and instead playing politics. For 6 years democrats have trashed republicans for everything ...

Ok, the year is yet young, but this has got to be the biggest non-story.  After preening and primping for the last 6 years, Hillary has finally tossed her bonnet into the 08 Presidential ring. And the MSM treats it like the second coming of Christ.  Oh well, I guess weekends are slow news days.  Because this should have been a footnote on page A-8, since it has been reported since she won in 2000. Ho-Hum.

WTF?  OK, this clown does not know poop from shinola.  And he is really as dumb as a stump!  But anyone with any iota of an idea of history knows that in 1607, a ship (the Godspeed) sailed from London and established a settlement on the new Continent.  Now called America (because Columbus was too stupid to understand it was not India). But EXCUSE THE HELL OUT OF ME!  That ship carried no slaves.  It was not a slaver ship.  It was a bunch of rubes seeking gol...

Back in the day (yea before the time of Terpfan1980), I came of voting age.  Around 1974.  For the younguns, that means nothing.  For my dear Grandmother, that meant a lot (I was the chosen one since I came back from Germany on the day Nixon resigned - a man she hated). But I was now of age.  A man (in those days old enough to drink and vote).  And so my first real president was Ford.  And I liked him (I never thought he was great, but he was a nice guy).  A...

It seems that there is no low that the left wont go to tar the right.  When their huge win in November was not enough, they try to steal another seat in Florida.  But that is small potatoes compared to the latest. It seems one of the biggest kooks in the media, Joy Behar, is now proposing that Tim Johnson's stroke was a plot by the right wing!  Check out the link and listen for yourself.  Not only does she propose it, the mind numbed robots in the audience applaud her for ...

Within the next 10 years, what many conservaives have called for, and most democrats have decried, may come to pass.  A Flat Tax.  And what does congress need to do to make it so?  Nothing. That is right.  If congress does nothing, the effect will be to make all taxpayers making less than a million dollars a year, pay a flat tax.  With no deductions.  Basically the 1040 form will become 3 lines. How you might ask?  Simple.  Within that time frame, al...

So it goes with faux moderate democrats.  Virginia has that kind of surplus.  And what does our illustrious Governor - AKA Ted Matthews - do?  He wants a tax increase!  On top of literally billions of dollars in surplus!  But not just any surplus!  Did he save that money for his friends in Northern VA?  Nope!  he spent it!  On what?  14-30% increases in state budgets of course! (State Employees?  Get real!  They got their 2%). And so...

That is Jimmy and Neville.     Give up?     About 60 years.

One of our fellow bloggers asked the question "Where's the Whining?" in refernce to where was all the whining about the election that had occurred after the 2k, 2k2, and 2k4 elections.  Instead, within a couple of days, most of the close races that had democrats winning, the republicans graciuously conceded without putting up a fight and whining  about life being unfair.  Indeed, the last 2 senate races that got called were eligible for recounts, but neither of the losing senators...

What most of us knew (or strongly suspected), and at least the elected democrats realize, the democrats are not going to cut and run.  Headline: " Democrats Say They Won't Limit Iraq Funding". So while the conservatives that knew November 7th was the death knell of GIs (Right Rush?), the level headed folks among us just smiled!  Knowing that while that was not a campaign promise, it was a bone to their kook wing.  And they just pissed off their kooks. Ya know, maybe the demo...

Well, our new illustrious leaders have not even taken power yet, but they have managed to beat old Ted Matthews (Tim Kaine's) record for broken promises!  This time taking -37 days to break not one, but 2 promises (at least one member has done 2).  The ignoble record holder for breaking 2 promises is none other than Lt. Dan - aka Jim "Don't talk to me!" Webb.  This record is tied by Nancy Pelosi, and soon to be met by others I am sure. First we have Nancy Pelosi who reneged on ...

Our newly selected senator from the not so great state of Virginia, has decided that war is better than peace. At a social at the White house for newly elected 'representatives' (and I use that term lightly), George Bush sought out Jim Webb, the FIRED Sec of the navy (it appears with good reason) during Reagan's administration, to ask about his son. Webb's response?  FO!  Well, he was not that ribald (how I don't know, his social skills are on the level of alley oop).  But the ...

Several of the conservative voices at JU have been making jokes about why the democrats have not made any changes, after winning congress.  Indeed, it has been fun to rail, tongue in cheek, about the lack of action on the democrats part.  Not because they have not done anything (indeed, they have yet to actually gain the power), but to echo the screeds that have long assailed the conservatives over the last 6 years when they tried to do things, but were thwarted by the filibuster. ...

A lot of people think Pennsylvania is the keystone state, and in some respects, it is.  But not this year.  I suspect my affliction is being shared in several other states, notably Missouri, Maryland and Montana (I think the others, Ohio and Tenn are safe one way or the other).  And this year has been impossible! For the last month, we have been averaging about 3 calls A DAY.  On who to vote for!  I have lived in this state for the last 30 years, and I have never...
