Or, to steal a phrase from Admiral Ackbar… “It’s a TRAP!!!” But, as far as traps go, this one may be a good one. President Obama is going to ask Congress to give him more power to be able to merge competing Federal agencies, thus getting rid of competing agencies, easing the conflict of overlapping […]
There are times when I wonder if anyone is paying attention to anything anymore. A few days ago, a domestic terrorist group committed arson against Harris Ranch, one of the prominent local beef producers here in California. This is not one of those huge industrial farms run by AMD, mind you, but a truly local […]
Mitt Romney is a good guy. A stand up family man. A guy who knows business and a guy who will likely lose the Presidential election if he is the GOP nominee. Why won’t they like him? Ruben Navarette Jr has his reasons for the persistent “Anyone-But-Romney” faction that resides not only within the GOP, […]
A friend who is an ardent Ron Paul supporter, upon reading that I’m not a fan of Paul’s desire to retreat back to the gold standard, suggested that I watch this video. (here is the transcript) Sorry, but it’s just not as simple as a six minute interview. There is a lot of history being […]

Of course, if he wins re-election, and the frequency of debt ceiling raises continue, this President will have approved about the same number of DCR’s as […]
Not so fast, says this person!
Of everything I’ve seen in this campaign season, this may very well be the most ridiculously absurd, over-the-top, jump-the-shark moment! If a Republican wins the White House, and taps former candidate Herman Cain for a cabinet position, his first choice would not be for Secretary of Treasury, or Commerce Secretary, or something that he at […]
In this case, they’re eating their “Old”! Check out these comments from Ann Althouses blog concerning the general discontent brewing within Republican ranks, specifically the stalwart Conservative opinion magazine National Review Online, concerning the possibility of a Newt Gingrich nomination! And what do the establishment hacks at NRO — in the tank for the Weasel […]
How much do Conservatives not like Newt? “[T]he power of the Gingrich surge does show, again, a lesson taught well by neo-Nazi David Duke when Duke was ascendant in Louisiana politics two decades ago. When considering a candidate for office, almost right up until they enter the polling booth and sometimes even in the booth […]
