2 stories, half a world apart. Linked by common themes, but you will not find Sean Penn or Madonna talking about them now. In story one, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,477425,00.html we find that the Grand and Glorious Socialist republic of Russia (formerly the USSR) has decided to cut the heat to its neighbors. Why? They are not too keen on being dictated to by the former masters in Moscow. So much for the humanitarian leaders of Russia. The "noble" ones t...
By now, every one who has not been living on a disappearing iceberg, knows about Obama and his run in with Joe the Plumber. An average guy in almost every respect save one - he actually confronted Obama. With why Obama was trying to deny him the American Dream. Obama's response has become a rallying cry for republicans: "I just want you to be clear – it’s not that I want to punish your success – I just want to make sure that everybody who is beh...
In any election, since media became a factor, political campaigns have had negative ads. Some worse than others (the Daisy Ad), and some just funny. Most are just designed to show the shortcomings of the opponent, figuring (rightly or wrongly) that voters will not see the shortcomings without being lead to them. So who is the king of negative ads in this campaign? If we ask the media, or the pundits, or the emotional "Wanna-bee" reporters, or even blogdom, I am sure we are g...
The latest controversy concerns a remark that Obama made about lipstick and pigs. The republicans are of course feigning indignancy and claiming the comment was a slap at Sarah Palin - due both to her sex and her own self depreciating humor about Hockey moms. If one squints hard enough, they can actually see the republicans point. But I dont think Obama even thought of the reference to Palin. And that is what concerns me more. "Lipstick on a pig" is an old, country cliche.&n...
Or better, how to evade the issue of experience. When Obama was asked a direct question on his experience, his answer was typically evaside: Anderson Cooper: They in fact have said that Governor Palin has more executive experience, as mayor of a small town and as governor of a big state of Alaska. What's your response? Barak Obama: Well, you know, my understanding is, is that Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We have got 2,500 in this campaig...
It seems the lunatic fringe of the democrat party has infiltrated the mainstream of the party. NOw it is not good enough to demonstarate against people you dont like, you have to stalk them and their children! Yes, Miek Gravel, lunatic extraordinaire, was caught on tape advocating just that. And for what? For a prosecutor who put away a terrorist! “Find out where he lives, find out where his kids go to school, find out where his office is, picket him all the tim...
Nancy "Queen Bee" Pelosi thinks she is president - or maybe just her royal highness. She is demanding that Bush open up the Strategic Oil Reserves. Why? She thinks it will lower prices. How? Increasing supply. But this same person is dead set against opening up American oil reserves in the ground. Which actually has a lot more "reserves" and in the end, could provide a lot more oil. Why? It will not help. Yea right. Of course the d...
Yes, the title is true. Obama wants higher gas prices. Just not so fast as happened. But in this era of carefully crafted sound bites, and handlers that craft your mind, as well as your statements, is that bad? It is well known that the democrats are big on green. They want to eliminate pollution, (not sign Kyoto as that is just bad law), and reduce greenhouse gases. And to that effect, they vilify everyone from their grandmother to big oil. Always blaming, ne...
Our (non) illustrious governor has once again shown his duplicity. Sacrafice a child, but spare that murderer! Sounds strange coming from me. Actually it kind of is. I am glad he commuted the sentence of the death row inmate. But his duplicity has got my stomach in a knot! For those of you that have read my comments, you know I am firmly against Abortion - and the death penalty. But over my tenure at JU, I have gotten to know, through their writings and belief...
So says Obama! Yes, this man has been campaigning so hard, he has campaigned in 57 States ! (not Including Oregon, where the statement was made, and Hawaii and Alaska). 60 States! We best pull all the civics books from the classrooms! They are just flat out wrong! They only list 50 states! And we know a liberal would never lie, right? But wait! Where could that 57 number have come from? Maybe he was mistaking the US of A for some other country, place or thing? So where did 57 come from? H...
Whatever you want to say about Obama, that he is not liberal is not one of them. In classic liberal fashion, Obama has again decided that it is not the results that count, but the intentions. When asked about Capital gains taxes by Charlie Gibson, Obama stumbled and fumbled and then basically said raising taxes was not about revenue. No, it was about "fairness". GIBSON: You said on CNBC, and I quote, "I certainly would not go above what exist...
No, shame on you Barak. Shame on you for your next statement: "I expected this out of John McCain," McCain is many things. A saint is not one of them. But so far, he has gone out of his way to stick to the issues. He appears to be the only one. But this behavior is typical of the left, and now, sadly, Barak is just another tired sycophant of the left. And the favorite dodge is to accuse your opponents of that which you do - so that t...
It appears that Al Gore Jr won something in 2000 after all. The Hearts and (what there is of them) minds of some of the democrat Elites and of course all the loonies that see nothing but conspiracies behind every hanging chad (right Dopey Doe?). Now,instead of starting to plan for their truimphant return to the White house in 2008, these cretins of pettiness are wasting taxpayer money in Ohio demanding a recount that will not change any results and probably not any numbers, at a co...
Draginol posted a blog about the old media jumping the shark awhile back. That was in reference to Dan Rather's fraud show, and his refusal to admit he was wrong. Well, for those of us who loved the Fonz, there was another show that basically could be called "I am John Kerry, and this is my life". In it The Fonz gave bad advice and then tried to fix it. But the only way he could fix it was by saying he was wrong. And he could not! He tried "I was wruuuuunnnn. I was wrunnn". But h...
