Justice Roberts Stands Up for SCOTUS

March 11, 2010

Word came yesterday that Chief Justice John Roberts was upset about the treatment the Justices got from both Congress and the President at January’s State of the Union Address, questioning even whether or not SCOTUS should really even show up anymore.  Here’s my opinion about that address and the treatment of the court who are [...]

Happy President’s Day

February 15, 2010

Every year we take a day to pay homage to our 44 Presidents on the third Monday in February.  We used to have both Lincoln and Washington’s birthday off, but with the addition of the observance of Martin Luther King’s birthday as a federal holiday in 1983 we meshed the two birthday’s together into President’s [...]

Scandal! Sarah Palin Used Notes While Delivering Speech to Tea Party Convention!

February 7, 2010

The rank hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me.  At this very moment, the liberal blogosphere is salivating over the fact that Sarah Palin had a few bullet-point notes written on her hand while she delivered her speech to the National Tea Party Convention.  Of course these same liberals rarely utter a peep [...]

Obama’s Blame Bush License Expires as Economic Growth Returns

January 29, 2010

The country received some excellent news today when it was announced the that the economy grew at a rate of 5.7 percent during the fourth quarter of 2009.  Of course we still have to wait to see what the adjusted numbers show because the initial release doesn’t always get it exactly right and this administration [...]

Stimulus Price Tag $75 Billion Higher Than Initially Thought

January 26, 2010

The Stimulus Porkulus Bill that passed in early 2009 was projected to cost about $787 billion.  The CBO today revised that figure upwards by $75 billion, bringing the total projected cost for the stimulus to about $862 billion.  This is due to the fact that the projections put forth by Obama and the CBO for [...]

Obama’s State of Denial

January 25, 2010

Obama is in a state of denial.  He still thinks he is the messiah, and that all bow down and worship at his feet.  Today, Rep. Marion Berry (D-AR) announced his retirement, citing fears of a 1994-redo in the making.  When pressed further, he mentioned that Obama was in complete denial, thinking that he would [...]

Harry Reid and the “Negro Dialect” Issue

January 10, 2010

What’s with old Democrat Senators and unscripted and inappropriate racial comments?  I mean Harry Reid’s comment about candidate Barack Obama not having a “negro dialect” ain’t as bad as Robert Byrd’s “white n-word” statement from a few years back, but it still ain’t cool at all (by the way that same Democrat Robert Byrd, former [...]

Obama Makes Statement about Terror Plot

December 28, 2009

Well, well, well…  The Most High and Beneficent Lord Barack Hussein Obama (mm m m) graciously found time today on his busy vacation schedule to make a riveting personal appearance in front of the cameras about Friday’s attempted downing of a plane over Detroit by a terrorist.
I sure can tell he cares — it only [...]

Welcome to Obamaville!

December 13, 2009

Check this sign out in Colorado (notice the subtle tone of the news anchors):

Think about this:  the economy started growing again in the Spring of 1991, but Bush 41 still took the heat and lost the 1992 Election on that small eight-month recession (plus his RINO stripes had shown during his term alienating Conservatives and [...]

Don’t Breathe, It’s Now Harmful to Public Health

December 7, 2009

Well, I suppose one can breathe IN, just not OUT!
CO2 is a danger to public health;  so says the Environmental Protection Agency today in a Pearl Harbor-like surprise that’s slated to doom our long-term economic future.
In 2007, the Supreme Court allowed the regulation greenhouse gases, including CO2, by the EPA.  Seeing Cap-and-Trade about to die [...]

Obama: Climategate Be Damned — Copenhagen is On!

December 5, 2009

Well, the forecast wintry mix totaling “a dusting to an inch” is already near three inches deep in my part of Central Jersey, so I couldn’t resist a global warming/Climategate post!  Especially when in the face of all the uncertainty behind much of the climate science underlying the upcoming Copenhagen initiatives, President Obama is going [...]

The Dueling Jobs Summits

December 3, 2009

President Obama opened a “Jobs Summit” in Washington today in a  feeble attempt to salvage what’s left of the failure of his largest legislative initiative to date — the Recovery Act which has miraculously held unemployment at robust 10.2% (at least until November’s figures come out)!
Obama is basically asking for help — he obviously never [...]

Obama’s Speech on Afghanistan

December 1, 2009

Here’s what I took from the President’s speech tonight on the future of the War in Afghanistan:
“The common security of the world is at stake” says the President, but we’re getting out in 18 months because it’s a rather pricey endeavor.  OK, Taliban and al Qaeda types, just wait until July 2011 and start your [...]

Kerry’s Revenge on Afghanistan

November 29, 2009

John “F’in” Kerry* finally gets some revenge on the Bush Administration through a new report on how we missed our chance to get Bin Laden in December 2001 in the mountains around Tora Bora.  However, on page 9 of the 49 page file (pdf file) Kerry notes that his report’s thesis relies on the same [...]

More horror stories from the Obama Nation as three Navy SEALs on a special ops mission to seize wanted terrorist Ahmed Hashim Abed are facing court martial for beating up Abed a little before bringing him in.  The mission, code named “Operation Amber” was designed to capture and bring to justice the man who is [...]

Obama Urges Burma to Release Aung San Suu Kyi

November 15, 2009

During his recent trip to Singapore, President Obama urged the Prime Minister of Burma to release pro-democracy dissident Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest.  Given Obama’s warped sense of good and evil and his tendency throw his support behind some pretty shady characters, the request must have been a bit surprising for the Burmese.  [...]

I Miss Bush

November 12, 2009

Today, former President George W. Bush gave a speech at Southern Methodist University, the future home of his Presidential Library and think-tank.  Here’s the clip from Fox News today covering the speech:

Warning of the temptation to believe government is the solution to our problems, hearing Dubya’s voice with all the occasionally misspoken words, thinking about [...]

Massachusetts Jobs Not so “Saved or Created”

November 11, 2009

A Boston Globe story came out today about how all those 12, 374 “saved or created” jobs in Massachusetts were a tad bit exaggerated.  The whole “saved or created” concept is ripe for manipulation since you can’t really accurately pin down a truly “saved” job.  I wasn’t fired this year; does that mean my job [...]

Commemorating a Historic Day, and Obama’s Lack of Respect For It

November 10, 2009

When President Reagan issued the challenge “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” on June 10, 1987, no one thought the Berlin Wall would fall anytime in the near future.  Yet just a day short of two years and five months later, the wall was torn down.  Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of [...]

The Latest H1N1 Emergency

October 26, 2009

The H1N1 Swine Flu virus was officially considered a national emergency by the Obama Administration late Friday evening (you know, so every one would notice).  But, oddly, there aren’t enough vaccines to go around to meet demand, even though we’ve known about this problem since the Spring. 
This announcement has me thinking:  call it an emergency, yet [...]

Cheney: “Drumbeat of Defeatism” from Obama

October 21, 2009

I Heart Cheney for many reasons.  I love his unabashed defense of the Bush Administration’s Gitmo policy, the free-market, the CIA’s advanced interrogation techniques, and now his defense of what the Bush Administration left for Obama to deal with in Afghanistan.  Here’s how Fox reported Cheney’s statement’s on Special Report with Bret Baier tonight:

Well, you had expect [...]

Ending the Doctrine of Preemption

October 15, 2009

Why stop in the middle of a castration, right?  Just keep going and finish it off!  President Bush’s doctrine of preemption is the basis for staying on offense in the War on Terror, while announcing that we would not make the mistakes of the 1990s and ignore or tie our own hands regarding gathering threats.  It may [...]

Putin: No Quid Pro Quo on Sanctions

October 14, 2009

President Obama’s latest version of “peace in our time” (taking back our promised anti-ballistic missile shield in Eastern Europe) really hasn’t yielded much from the Soviets Russians, who we had tried to please by the move especially regarding the biggest looming international security threat of our age — Iran.  Wasn’t such a gesture in Eastern Europe [...]

Obama’s CBO Headache

October 7, 2009

Why can’t the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) just go away for a few months?  Don’t they know that the Chosen One, Our Dear Leader, the Most Beneficent Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mm) wants to fundamentally transform this nation and to do that he must have free reign in all areas, without criticism and with [...]

Dear Obama: Can We Have a Plan for Afghanistan Please?

October 4, 2009

Dear President Obama,
Can we have a plan for Afghanistan please?  I know things like the Olympics, date-night, and voting “present” on just about all the issues of the day are super, super important for American and the world, but in case the vigor of your schedule has caused the brilliant recesses of your vast intellect to become temporarily [...]

Olympic Hopes End for Chicago

October 2, 2009

With a very important war in Afghanistan, troops still on the ground in Iraq, unemployment at 9.8%, the stimulus not working, Social Security and Medicare bleeding money faster than expected, health care on the verge of apocalypse (if you listen to our Dear Leader), I’m just soooooooo glad that President Obama, his wife Michelle Obamasaurus, and “The Oprah” [...]

Obama: More Time in Failing Schools Equals Success

September 28, 2009

A conclusion one can make by the fact that American elementary school children score amongst the best in the world while American high school kids score terribly when compared to our international counterparts would be that the longer a child spends in the American public education system, the dumber they get — I should know, I teach [...]

Barack, Superhero

September 27, 2009

The “Internets” is a big place and sometimes in the ebbs and flows of life and politics some goodies go by without notice!  Here’s a great JibJab satire I missed from last June, which I only just heard about today:

Netanyahu Calls Out the UN

September 25, 2009

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to the United Nations stating plainly that Iran is insidiously destabilizing the region through proxy wars, openly threatening Israel while denying the Holocaust, and thumbing its nose at the IAEA (not big deal there, but an honorable mention seemed obligatory).  Hence, a stronger hand is needed by [...]
