Update: So now we know it WAS liberals in DC who allowed AIG the loophole to award bonuses with taxpayer money – in fact it was a Democrat Senator who has been a top recipient of AIG campaign donations: While the Senate was constructing the $787 billion stimulus last month, Dodd added an executive-compensation restriction […]

  Those of us who raised the warning flags about Obama’s lack of experience (both politically and as an executive) are going to be proved correct much sooner than I expected. President Obama is floundering, his own party sees it. And now he is going back to the only thing he knows how to do […]

The New York Times is reporting the Democrats in DC are all of a sudden worried that the voters are rising up against their reckless and unfocused policies. Before I get to the NYT piece I have to wonder what in the world brought this crystalizing moment of sanity to the DC liberals who have […]

And if it is not work there are tons of remodeling/rebuilding/maintenance projects backed up at the home ranch I need to tackle. But another series of events has kept my mind and spirit from posting – and that […]

  Some news has been circulating in my circles which has just cemented for me how bad it is in DC with the current liberal Democrat control (or lack of therein) of the Federal Government. I have never seen a more confused or incoherent lot in my life. They put on a facade of understanding […]

The controversial Obama nominee to head the National Intelligence Council has withdrawn his name in the light of a lifetime of radical positions and statements. Charles Freeman, the Obama administration’s choice to head the National Intelligence Council, has withdrawn from consideration after facing strong opposition from Senate Republicans. … The withdrawal came hours after Freeman […]

  Words of wisdom from the very liberal Jim Cramer: It’s time to get serious. It’s time to take the issue from the pundits and from the left and right, and put it where it belongs: serious non-ideological debate to put out the real firestorm, the collapse of the economy from Wall Street to Main Street and […]
