Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake
Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

Good Questions. I Would Like to See Eliot Spitzer a Senator
Sometimes, you judge a politician by that politician's enemies. Spitzer has all the right enemies, including the ''Masters of the Universe'' on Wall Street, who cheered and toasted his political demise recently, and then promptly threw our American economy ''under the bus.'' Besides, if Bill Clinton can make a political comeback, why not the ...

Oh for God's Sake--Journalism is slime an no more
I'm not particularly fond of the Clintons, but there is no couple in the world whose history is more publicly known that Billary. Ken Starr spent sixty million dollars to prove Bill is a perv and in the process had to drop investigations into a half dozen supposed financial scandals. Since the White House years, this couple exactly avoided the ...

Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections
Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

Professional Journalism
I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

What the dems need to be talking about
Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants. That puts him in the same group with 2 year olds. Do you want a two year old to be president? It also says this is the way he is going to be with congress if he does get elected. That ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

This has to be parody!
I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...
