The plutocrats are flaunting it

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Remember when John Kerry was caricatured as an out of touch elitist when he went windsurfing? And the press ran with it. One must wonder if we will hear more about this, or whether it will sink beneath the waves: Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the […]

I won’t be watching

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Well, the fact is that we no longer have a television, but could watch on-line if we really cared to do so. But gone are the days when the Republicans let people like Pat Buchanan let the world see what the Republican party is really all about. Unlike Democrats, Republican’s learn their lessons, at least […]

Ryan Defers

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

What a strange country this is. We have a political party, whose members claim some sort of inside track to God. They speak in moral absolutes, yet they are, at times, oddly willing to "defer" to someone else's moral (if one can call it that when speaking of Romney) position. Consider Paul Ryan: Ryan, of […]

If life begins at conception, and they want the constitution to say that it does, then his position follows as the night the day. what he said was not much different than […]

An implied confession

Thursday, July 12, 2012

  It seems many Republicans are upset about the fact that Obama is successfully introducing the real Willard to the American public: Conservatives have lit up talk radio programs across the country, worrying whether Mr. Romney’s business record has been “Swift Boated,” referring to attacks waged against Senator John Kerry’s military record in 2004. The […]

Curt Schilling at the public trough

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Life is a mystery. Curt Schilling, well known for being a vocal Republican, would never go in for a government guaranteed loan like Solyndra got, would he? After all, the government is not supposed to pick winners and losers, am I right? And yet… 38 Studios, the video game startup founded and funded by former […]

Why a bill doesn’t become law

Thursday, April 19, 2012

When I read this article this morning, it struck me that it is in many ways emblematic of what is so wrong with the country at the moment: Colleges would be barred from spending taxpayer money on advertising, marketing, and recruiting under a Senate bill that targets for-profit institutions.

Closing the barn door, etc.

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

ALEC, having largely accomplished its mission of eviscerating gun laws and destroying the right of the poor, the elderly, and the black to vote, is now redirecting its efforts to its main mission of impoverishing the nation. Will all those corporations that dropped funding now feel it’s safe to go back and support ALEC’s agenda. […]

Headline at Politico: Senate kills ‘Buffett Rule’ The Senate never voted on the rule. It was filibustered by the Republicans. That is what should be reported.
