As I suspected when he was named Joe Biden continues to be a boon to the Republicans. His most recent statements of No coal plants here in America continue this trend. If he believes what he said its bad for the U.S.. If he was pandering, its bad for the U.S.. Pretty much a […]

If this study means what they say it means then I’d like them to explain - why is it then, that the Liberals are the ones who want the Goverment to run every aspect of our lives (that requires responsible behavior that is) while Conservatives want the Government out of the way so they can […]

A language we’ve thought dead or dying for a couple of decades just won’t die. This is one of those things that drives the younger developers crazy since anything older than 6 months old is “old school” and not the “right” way. I, on the other hand still have my college COBOL books - […]

So Obama is questioning McCain in Nevada on his economic record but what I’d like to know is where was Obama when McCain was on the Senate floor making statements such as this.

Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions […]

So in the midst of this “financial crisis” the Senate is going to adjourn becuase Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that “no one knows what to do’’ at the moment.
I think it means Obama doesn’t know what to do either and if they adjourn he doesn’t have to admit […]

How about knowing who got money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Interesting Obama is #2…

Karnak says (drum roll please) Palin Won’t Win Over Hillary Voters.
The question, Is Shirley MacLaine a credible “medium”?
As credible as any member of the ditsy twits I suppose…

In a town that must be a Nanny State’s dream, if you’re not wearing a helmet they confiscate your bike. No… not your motorcycle… your bicycle. I’m often amazed my, and my parents, generation survived at all….

As Putin dispatches bombers to Venezuela he is warning US not to start a new arms race as the bombers don’t have nuclear weapons aboard. Like we’d believe their statement, they’re sending supersonic bombers to a nation openly aligning themselves as an Enemy of the U.S..
What he wants is to delay us from seeing that […]

As a Heinline fan (especially of his early works) I found this piece on how he handled fanmail quite entertaining.

Everyone wants the California fixed as long as the cuts don’t hurt me… go cut someone elses job/pay/benefits… So say they get the Gov recalled like they did Davis. What is the next guy going to do? The state is still teetering on bankruptcy, spending more than they take in and getting further […]

Say what you want about Gov. Palin it looks like that ’stupid’ selection is proving smart and effective.

Its been a few years since grade school civics, for those of you old enough to have even gotten civics lessons….
America was built to be something different, something better. A “city on the hill” to stand as a beacon to a lost and dying world. A place of refuge for the masses starving in the […]

You know MSNBC realizes they stepped in it when even Tom Brokaw says
Olbermann and Matthews went too far. Or was it really Jon Voight’s comments that brought this to a head. I mean if you can’t keep a long time Hollywood actor believing you’re unbiased, you can’t fool anyone.

Ok, so it’s really McCain/Palin - but that’s not by MY preference… Still the convention lift for McCain has been substantial.
In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of […]

What a freaking JOKE, the UN says eat less meat to curb global warming because…. wait for it… COWS FART!
I fart you not…
I will no longer tolerate criticism of Creationism as religious from anyone from the Global Warming religious camp. Science bent for personal and political purposes is so utterly contemtable and ya’ll call US […]

Oh stop! Please!! This stuff is so funny my sides hurt!!
Last night at the Republican National Convention, John McCain used the word “fight” more than 40 times in his speech.
In the 16 years that we have served together in the Senate, I have seen John McCain fight.
I have seen him fight against raising the federal […]

Probably the most insightful article yet on the political upset that is Sarah Palin…
No wonder Hillary turned down Obama this week, she is busy planning 2012….

Nothing says “conserve energy, ride a bike to work” like putting a speed limit on bicyclers that is easy to break on modern bikes.

I wonder if McCain figured when he chose Palin that she’d be more popular than he is? Or, if he cares as long as he gets elected?
I do know that before Palin, who at least quacks like a conservative on most issues, I wasn’t sure I could hold my nose to vote for the […]

I had no idea the word ‘uppity’ was racially charged.. The point is to make any word that can be used as a derogatory toward the Dem Messiah “racially charged” to silence the opposition. Unless they’re Republicans… its ok to call Republicans uppity…

What I want to know is if Iranian is using DNC talking points or the DNC is using Iranian talking points.. Hm..

There are a lot of choice quotes following Palin’s speech but I think this one says it all.
John Roberts, “…I hope we’ll be talking to you a lot more in the course of the next 60 days and looking forward to that debate on October 2nd.”
Sen Joe Biden, “Well, I’m not sure I […]

Reputable news-people and sources have questioned or commented on Palin leaving a family in need and running for Vice President. Never once had I seen them bring up the fact that both Barack AND Michelle Obama have been working full-time jobs while raising two young girls. Both have been active on the campaign trail. They […]

It looks like elephants have a flair for arithmetic. Wonder how the Donkeys did….
