  • Sets vs. Lists. President Obama Just Doesn’t Get the Distinc

    At the beginning of his Inaugural address, President Obama said that “Forty-Four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.” Wrong! The correct number is 43. If one lists all the presidents in order, with consecutive terms counted as one, then indeed Barack Obama is 44th on the list, our 44th president. However, Grover Cleveland appears ...

  • 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 ...

  • George W. Bush Is an “Old-Shoe”

    George W. Bush is the veritable “old-shoe“: Comfortable and unpretentious, also seemingly unmoved by anything - shoes being thrown at him, wars gone bad, huge deficits, the effects of insufficient oversight and regulation of the financial community, incompetence and negligence on the part of his appointees, politics driving almost every decision ...

  • The Audacity of Accomplishment!

    Among the many political advantages that Sarah Palin’s candidacy brings to the table is that her mere presence will inevitably invite all too predictable and insulting Barrack-attacks from Democrats, such as the patronizing and politically self-destructive comment made today by none other than Barrack Obama on “60 Minutes.” Obama condescendingly ...

Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...
