Tony Snow has lost his long battle to cancer. One of the comments from this blog asks: “One wonders if Tony will get as much coverage as did Tim Russert. I’d bet not, since Tony wasn’t a lefty.” While I’m not a fan of the whole “lefty / righty” thing, I do think the question […]
   Would you consider Wesley Clark to be a Maverick? Consider this from a Newsweek article about Clark and his relief of NATO command in 1999: Since his days at West Point, Clark has been something of a loner…. Clark gloried in being the lone warrior, the take-no-prisoners intellectual. “It’s very difficult to stop […]
Obama adviser Gen. Wesley Clark, who Sunday made the following statement: “In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk. It’s a matter of gauging your opponents, and it’s a matter of being held accountable. John McCain’s never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his […]
… Just Kidding. I don’t think there is that much wrong with America, but sometimes you do have to wonder. We’re in the middle of an energy crisis caused by soaring fuel prices. And because of concerns that CO2 induced Global Warming is going to destroy the planet (oh no!), everyone is demanding that we […]
 Last year, it was pointed out that Al Gore, the Global Warming Guru, was an energy hog. He said that he was in the process of install green tech throughout his house, so things be right with the world next year. Well, it’s next year… and you guessed it – he is consuming MORE energy, […]
…and the tread marks are still fresh: ————————–O———————————– HRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRC ————————/—|—|———————————- HRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRCHRC ————————-/—|———————————– PS. For some reason, the back-slash, which would represent the left arm and leg, won’t post on wordpress. I have no idea why.
I really wished I had more time to blog, but the work on my student teaching and the stuff in my life leaves little free time for indulgences such as blogging. Anyway, I have been very critical of the continued Hannity / Savage / Limbaugh / Levin right wing attacks on Candidate Obama because of […]
Generally, I distrust any news organization that thinks the slogan “Truth to Power” has any relevance in todays world, as the truth is subjective, and the press itself is a “power” that must also be put in check and vetted for “truth”. The tag line of this article makes a big fuss that the building […]
… or tell it, apparently. The Clinton’s just can’t seem to get their minds, or campaign for that matter, around a little thing called the Internet. Things were so much easier fifteen years ago, when any fact checking could be dismissed as the distortions of a right-wing conspiracy. But, all the same, I’m sure her […]
I didn’t participate much in the feeding frenzy over Spizter’s curious spending habits because, well, everyone else was doing it, and I’m a non-conforming non-conformist… whatever that means. Well now that the news cycle has moved on to other things (Obama and the Preacher – sounds like a TV sitcom), I thought that I would […]
