Lex and others have taken a great deal of pride in flashing this picture around-and then with a certain amount of snarkiness proclaiming how great it was under George W. Bush. Sad to see how short peoples memories really are: Let’s just say for argument’s sake-Barak Obama is really the worst President since Millard Filmore-which… Continue reading Asking the wrong question…..

A year wasted…….
There is probably no better time than the State of the Union to render forth my verdict on the first year of the Obama administration. Unlike what the folks in teabagger land think-it has not been the complete disaster they portray it to be-nor has it been as good as some might have thought it… Continue reading A year wasted…….
Equal time….
To bash some really stupid liberal ideas. I am often accused of “going to the dark side”-and endorsing the whole Democratic agenda. Truth is-I have not. It is posts like this one, from Balloon Juice ( a blog I generally like) that keep me from going whole hog into the side of fruits and nuts.… Continue reading Equal time….
So that is the guy who is at fault!
My Canadian counterpart has figured out who is to blame for the lousy economy. Some asshole named Grover Norquist: There was a point in the late 1970s when American conservative politics became completely disconnected from reality, particularly on economic policy. Remember, it was Ronald Reagan who believed that you could cut taxes, spend a veritable… Continue reading So that is the guy who is at fault!
Consider the alternative……….
While all the folks in the echo chamber, are getting their panties in bunch-because Ezra Klein had the wherewithal to suggest that America needs a more educated electorate– it might be useful to consider where we would be, if the other side had won. Which it very well could have, had not the queen of… Continue reading Consider the alternative……….
Maybe there is a place for me…..
Forget the Supreme Court- these are some appointments that are worth getting upset about. There is considerable angst among the chattering class about the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. But while some of us may question the logic that says we have to deliberately limit the selection pool, as Once a Marine… Continue reading Maybe there is a place for me…..
Avoiding the Christmas rush……..
I’m going to start hating the new Supreme Court nominee now. Sitting here in the lounge in Dulles on the way back to Shopping Mall. I’ve been watching her on TV. There is something in the way she talks-something of a pompousness in the gait of her speech, that has set off my alarm bells. Not… Continue reading Avoiding the Christmas rush……..
The trouble with Nancy…….
It occurs to me that amid the rancor over the stimulus bill, there is a bigger problem the President needs to address head on. Obama has a very different problem with Congress than GWB had. If he is serious about trying to get things done-he has to do it in a better manner than the… Continue reading The trouble with Nancy…….
Election short observations…….
Dear Senator Obama, If you do not rein in your own party and keep them focused together-you will be drinking no champagne next Tuesday night. If I had 2000 dollars I could spare-I might be tempted to go place a bet on McCain winning the election. With the current odds it would pay off nicely.… Continue reading Election short observations…….
This year is weird….
Especially so when the New Republic is in complete agreement with the Townhall Harlot……………..
