There are days where I shudder to think how close America is to disaster, especially when I get too close a glimpse at who is steering the ship of state: According to our tipster, Jarrett was seated at the head table along with several other big-name politicians and a handful of high-ranking military officials. As […]

A lot of conservatives hope President Obama will fail at all he does – apparently that makes them feel better about themselves I guess. Nothing like feeling superior when someone else falters. But unlike Rush Limbaugh, I know Obama’s failures can come at a huge price. This time, when it comes to Egypt, I am […]

In a not so surprising decision yesterday the Obama administration and 111th Liberal Congress were handed their heads by a federal judge yesterday: A second federal judge ruled on Monday that it was unconstitutional for Congress to enact a health care law that required Americans to obtain commercial insurance, evening the score at 2 to […]

The situation in Egypt is not simple or clear cut. I have hesitated to write about it simply because it is complex, unstable and could result in a regional war if not handled correctly. It opens the future to two warring philosophies that have been roiling the Middle East since 9-11 and America’s efforts to […]

I would never own an electric car, maybe a hybrid, but never full electric. They are just not capable of doing what gas powered cars can do, and sometimes that can be dangerous: Count me among the many thousands of Washington area residents who spent Wednesday night stuck in traffic as a snowstorm sowed chaos […]

Update: The more I think about this the more incoherent it is. Just think about the tax deduction issue and how conservatives typically claim this is the money of the person who earned it and is paying the taxes, not the governments. But here you have supposed ‘conservatives’ claiming you cannot deduct YOUR medical bills […]

OK, the title of this post is what I would have used as a screaming headline for this UK article noting that the Himalayan glaciers are not shrinking – but actually growing. Researchers have discovered that, contrary to popular belief, half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing […]

It took Mother Nature (e.g., Gaia) to finally stop the madness in DC, if only for a day. I myself enjoyed 2 hours watching amateurs try and drive in the slushy snow that came in on Wednesday. I was not sure I was going to make it through the cars which got stuck and then […]

I am not going to go into the details of his rebuttal, but Paul Ryan hit the nail on the head. He connected to the issues and concerns of the 2010 voters. All about the deficits and business as usual with runaway spending and criminal malfeasance. Excellent. I would wager Ryan gets higher ratings for […]

What an idiotic and arrogant start to the SOTU speech. There is no reason to use the tragedy in AZ in such a crass political show stunt. The President really should not have based the path forward on the fact a 9-11 Truther who hated George Bush and stalked Rep Giifords for years probably snapped […]
