Year: 2012

Last week, Sarah Palin stepped over the edge of civility. Fox Business host Eric Bolling played a clip of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on “Meet the Press” in which Christie said Newt Gingrich “has been an embarrassment” to the Republican Party. “Poor Chris,” Palin responded. “This was a rookie mistake. He played right into […]

There has been a lot of talk lately about the social security trust fund. The Democrats are accusing Bush of spending part of the trust fund because of his tax cut. The Bush administration is taking up some creative accounting practices to try to avoid spending part of the trust fund while denying that they […]

I spent four hours driving back from a vacation on Sunday and in that time I pondered a few things I thought were worth sharing… – Enron has to be the first time in recent memory that the Democrats seemed to recognize that when a company goes under, the little guys that work for the […]

Yesterday, I ran across an article in: USA Today: that should have created a firestorm of controversy. Apparently Congress has gone as weak in the knees over invading Iraq as a 14 year old school girl at an NSYNC concert’ ‘Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress are skeptical about the need for quick military action against Iraq […]

The Republican field debated for the 19th time Thursday night, and once again, the media promised us it was going to be a “make or break” event. Don’t believe the media. The media say the debates have been the most critical factor in the nominating race so far because the media have been forced to […]

The most frustrating thing about the conflict in the Middle East to many people is that if you look at it unemotionally, it seems relatively easy to solve. Israel goes back to the 67 borders, the Palestinians drop the right of return, they split Jerusalem in ‘, Israel pulls the settlements back or trades the […]

It’s been more than a year and a 1/2 since the 2000 elections and we still have Democrats stamping their feet and claiming “it’s not fair” that the Gorebot lost. I guess it’s not surprising that many of the same people who think “tag” is too traumatic for kids can’t deal with losing a close […]

So, it turns out that the cool cat billed as “No Drama Obama” by his sycophants is actually quite the drama queen. While the White House publicly pretends to ignore conservative detractors of his administration, Chief Touchy-Touchy seems to be personally consumed by our critiques. Yes, mine included. On Wednesday, the president had himself a […]

President Obama’s State of the Union address was disgusting. The president began with a moving tribute to the armed forces and their accomplishments. But as he has done many times now, he celebrated martial virtues not to rally support for the military, but to cover himself in glory — he killed Osama bin Laden! — […]

Only a president long shielded from criticism and accountability could make the kind of State of the Union speech President Obama did Tuesday night. It’s hard to know where to begin, given his repetition of tired ideas from his previous SOTUs, his taking credit for successful policies he resisted and omitting failed ones he promoted, […]

If Mitt Romney wins in Florida, he will likely sweep the month of February and have a clear path to the nomination. Romney’s people have doubtless been using their influence at the state level to line up friendly states for February caucuses and primaries. Now he is in a position to sweep the table if […]
