Bad News for the Bad News Brigade
I know how much my conservative friends, especially those on Facebook, LOVE to dig through the news looking for bad news because bad news about the economy is bad news for Obama, and they really don’t LIKE Obama, so if there’s GOOD news that’s GOOD for Obama, well, that’s [...]

It’s a metaphor I’ve used before.  Listening to Republicans kvetching about President Obama’s struggle to repair the economy they ruined is a lot like getting barked at by the dogs who crapped on the carpet because you aren’t cleaning it quickly enough.
When one REMINDS the yapping mongrels that there wouldn’t BE crap on the rug [...]

This photograph was taken at a Sarah Palin rally as she stumps for Texas Governor (and fellow attractive dumbass) Rick Perry.
(And if I have to tell you what’s wrong with this sign, chances are YOU were “homescholed” TOO!)
And yet, the pundits say we should be cautious as we point to the intellectual deficit inherent in [...]

Sometimes a girl needs a little help remembrin’ stuff.  And when you’re flush from a full day of mocking President Obama for, among other things, using a teleprompter when giving speeches, sometimes when you’re being asked pre-approved questions at a scripted Q-n-A, you gotta just go back to the old fashioned way of cheating and [...]

Lotsa talk lately about President Obama’s trip to the GOP House Retreat in Baltimore.  Best description I read: “Daniel entered the lion’s den and came out with a brand new lionskin jacket.”
I’m sure there’s nothing President Obama would like MORE than to get some GOP support for some of his initiatives.  But the trick is, [...]

I love it.
The GOP House Leadership invited President Obama to come speak with them at their retreat in Baltimore today.  They promised to be all respectful and stuff and not hurt his feelings or get in his face.  They even agreed to let the TV cameras roll as they engaged the President in a question [...]

Last night, so I’m told, President Obama delivered his first State of the Union address.  I didn’t watch it.  I was in bed, like most sensible Americans should be at 9 p.m.  (Jesus, I’m so old…)
I figgered I could get up in the morning and see what the pundits had to say about it, as [...]

When President George W. Bush was handed a stunning defeat in 2006, losing both houses of the Congress to the Democrats, he told the voters, “I heard your message, and I’m going to listen to you.”
Then… he increased our presence in Iraq, which was the reason he LOST both houses of Congress.
President Obama needs to [...]

When one considers that Republicans support the teabaggers…

And the teabaggers are notorious for carrying racist signs at their racist hate rallies…

One finds it odd that these SAME Republicans are gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over something stupid Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said two years ago.
Should Reid lose his leadership position? Sure! [...]

Kuh-RAAAAAYYYYYYYY-zeeeeeeeee!

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he’s “blacker than Barack Obama,” and tells Esquire magazine that the “strength of the truth in America” will one day vindicate him.
The governor, who was impeached after being accused of trying to sell the Senate seat vacated by President Obama, says most of the people in politics are “full [...]

I know, I know, it seems like I’m piling on CNN’s Political Ticker site today…  But really!
Look at this report of Newt Gingrich, on Bill O’Reilly’s show yesterday, saying Obama cares more about terrorist rights than he does those of Americans.
From my vantage point, it seems like whoever wrote this report watched an episode of “The [...]

Folks who have been following this blog over the past year will likely remember something I wrote about last February.  Gail and I took a weekend visit to DC over Valentines Day.  It was the first time I actually fell and hurt myself.
Let’s see if I can’t find the original blog entry…
Ah!  HERE it is!
Here’s [...]

GOP Chairman Michael Steele just called President Obama a “hypocrite” for sending his kids to a private school while coming out against vouchers in DC that would give tax money to parents who want to send THEIR kids to private schools.
While everyone with a working frontal lobe knows that this whole “vouchers” thing the GOP [...]
