A Paean to Obama. The Twelve Days of Choosing His Top Team
Full title: A Paean to Barack Obama. The Twelve Days of Choosing Obama's Top Team This is an enhanced version of my earlier post.

The list is intended to be cumulative (that is, each person is ...

The Twelve Days of Choosing (Obama's Top Team)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuUFFGbuiUo Parody on The Twelve Days of Christmas, as applied to Obama's picks for his Cabinet and other key posts. The list is intended to be cumulative (that is, each person is picked only once). At the end I present those left out due to time constraints (Only twelve days!)

Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"
I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

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 ...

The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
How the Media Vote. Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

Discursive Divisive Discourse
First of all, my apologies that this is a bit lengthly but I've tired of letting others 'create' and perpetuate this ever damaging discourse. And by the way, I am a retired Captain and can fully appreciate the abuse of power, especially during that shameful period of our country's history. The article: Although it definitely fills time and ...

John And Cindy McCain: The Pimp and His Mistress
In News, Post, Tribune, and Times today Sen. Obama shits and Sen. Clinton farted. No charges were issued... yet. While placing them under the Microscope, we also noticed one of Obama's nuts is a little lower than the other and Hillary's left breast is bigger. Meanwhile, Sen. McCain fell in love and married a model because he likes pretty ...
