The Greatest Grifter of Them All

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

I wanted to write about something serious tonight, but the woman is just too much fun. It has been announced that Sarah Palin will appear in the tiny town of Point Clear, Alabama to give a speech at a fundraiser for the “Exceptional Foundation.” The Exceptional Foundation of Baldwin Country Alabama advertises itself as a […]

TPM gives the Tea Party too much credit for ideological coherence.

Monday, April 18, 2011

A luckless staffer named Jillian Rayfield over at Talking Points must have drawn the short straw, for it fell to her to review Atlas Shrugged, Part One, which made its debut over the weekend. That’s right, the producers of this flick apparently think it’s the next Star Wars, for they project parts Two and Three, […]

The Republicans tempt fate

Friday, April 15, 2011

The Republicans have voted to repeal Medicare. I am seriously thinking of giving up punditry. I have still not come to terms with the fact that the Democrats could not have done a better job at demolishing their substantial majorities than they did. It was almost as if they planned it. Now, my mind is […]

This is indeed a factual statement

Thursday, April 14, 2011

A series of them in fact. I am absolutely incensed at the unfair treatment to which Jon Kyl, a man whose status as a US Senator proves that national decline is not imminent but in fact is occurring as we breathe, has been subjected. I especially abhor the relentless attacks upon this man by Stephen […]

An easy prediction

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

The word is that Obama will be putting Medicare and Medicaid on the table for “reform”. Anyone care to take a bet against the following scenario: Obama will lead with a proposal that the Republicans could never have passed during the headiest days of the Bush Administration. His position will become the leftmost position of […]

Surreality Show

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Donald Trump is leading the pack. The Republican party has jumped the shark. Okay, it jumped it long ago. But, just imagine a Trump candidacy in the real world, if there even is such a thing in this day and age. What’s even more bizarre, if I had to rate the Republican clown/candidates in terms […]

Mostly Good

Monday, April 11, 2011

As I have courted divorce recently by criticizing Obama, it is incumbent upon me to give credit when credit is, or appears to be due. If this post at Kos can be relied upon, then it appears that, at least according to David Plouffe, Obama is planning on standing firm on some key issues. Among […]

A silk purse out of a sow’s ear

Sunday, April 10, 2011

We were in Boston today, and the Greeks were having a parade. This float celebrates some overlooked achievements of Alexander the Great. I suppose the French might say the same things about Napoleon.

Friday Night Music-Political reflections

Friday, April 8, 2011

This is dedicated to the Republicans in Congress, since it proves that there are others who share their objectives: And when this song came up on my playlist today, it just seemed appropriate for those of us who were, let’s face it, fooled again in 2008.
