I have been predicting for weeks that the liberal economic stimulus experiment would fail – and is failing. I also noted the reason why it would and is failing – the lethargic federal government is too damn bloated and slow to ‘stimulate’ anything. The liberals shunned the obvious quick solution – tax cuts – and […]

Given my recent posts about heated rhetoric and how it plays in the country I need to bring back a recent graph showing how the conservative rhetoric drove the centrists out of the party and the Dems into power: My guess is the screwed up Obama economic experiments, which have made the unemployment worse along […]

If the political debate stays overheated there is a real chance violence could climb. Why do I say that? because sadly it has been happening right in front of us. And I am not talking about the murders of Dr Tiller, Pvt William Long or the shoot out at the Holocaust Museum this week. The […]

Update: Palin nails it again: Sarah Palin says David Letterman owes an apology to young women across the country for his joke about her daughter. … Palin says the late-night funnyman has contributed to a thread throughout culture that says it’s acceptable and funny to talk about statutory rape. That sums it up perfectly. – […]

The ‘True Conservative” silliness continues. Conservatives think they can insult that segment of the electorate that decides which side wins elections, and THAT will help them win elections! That’s some really twisted logic there. Mike Huckabee today went completely moron using this same self destructive tactic: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee warned Republicans Wednesday against moving to the […]

Update: Seems this nutter related with both fringes, since we now learn he is a 9-11 truther as well: Holocaust Museum shooter von Brunn a 9/11 ‘truther’ who hated ‘neo-cons’, Bush, McCain Wonder what drew this guy to the extreme fringes? What did he find he could relate to?  Hard to tell, since both extremes tended […]

Major Update: Here is a must read report from CBO telling the truth about the failed ‘stimulus’ experiment. A key finding: ARRA included a number of greatly expanded or brand new programs, which slows spend-out. Translation: the government is too damn slow and lethargic to stimulate the economy – therefore unemployment will continue to get worse […]

VA Democrats, in a incredibly low turnout primary, have selected a moderate/conservative Democrat candidate to run for Governor of VA this fall: Well that wasn’t close at all, was it? After a grueling but mostly civil campaign, Creigh Deeds pummelled Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran for Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial nomination yesterday, triggering a fascinating general election race and a […]

This is very strange news indeed from the deep blue (democrat) state of New York: Republicans appear to have retaken control of New York’s Senate after two dissident Democrats jumped the aisle. The flip of senators Pedro Espada Jr. of the Bronx and Hiram Monserrate of Queens gives Republicans a 32-30 edge in the chamber. […]

Update: Here’s a very interesting post over at the Huffington Post by a Muslim who also sees the days numbered for al Qaeda and the Taliban. It is a fascinating assessment from inside the Muslim community, one which mirrors my own assessment of where things are headed from my perch well outside Islam. Two distinct and independent […]
