Obama Spending Meter

The RNC has launched a new website detailing and tracking the Dems promises.
THE CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED! Avast you scurvy dogs prepare to be boarded!
Well, anyway keep in mind the difference between Hill and Barack (What is Barack’s nickname? Bar? Rack? Ack?, Hus?) is only on who voted for the War and after that there […]

Obama Is No JFK, Actually JFK Is Not A Very Good Kennedy

Since the Kennedys have bestowed the title of JFK on Obama I’d thought I would compare the two and actually I don’t find much in common. Actually I don’t find much in common between JFK and the rest of the Kennedys.

JFK
Obama

War Hero
Never Served

Reduced Taxes
Will Raise Taxes $280 Billion

10 yrs, Congress/Senate
2 yrs, Senate

Delivers A Good […]

Sorry Big Mac, But China Owns Very Little Of Our Debt

I know Big Mac’s strength is not the economy or those business type things. But to set the record straight…
China is not the largest holder of American debt. You are.

You hold ~73% of the American Debt. 45% through the Federal Reserve and 28% in T-Bonds etc.
Anyway, the Chinese still don’t own […]

All This Talk About Change And Hope Is Foo-Foo Dust

Can you eat hope? Can you educate your kids on hope? Likewise with change. Talking about hope and change is great, but what does talking do?
All the candidates are talking about change, Obama talks about hope also. Great words and he is an inspiring speaker. I have suffered through 8 […]

The Big Lie of 2008, Change Will Happen

Clearly the theme of this election cycle is change. A year ago I would have said security. But the American people want change, at least that is what our candidates keep telling us. We need change and they can deliver it.
I doubt it. First none of them are talking about the […]

NAACP President: Ron Paul Is Not A Racist

There have been some dredged up accusations that Ron Paul has some skeltons in his closet.

The
Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and […]

In New Hampshire The Adults Voted And The Press Are Still Dopes

If I was a candidate I’d run from Time Magazine photographers. Being declared the next President on the cover of Time is the kiss of death. When I saw Obama’s smiling face on Time’s cover I thought back to Howard Dean.
Thank God we vote for Presidents and don’t allow our news media to […]

No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are.
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
The measure of […]

Little Glee In Dodd’s Defeat

I take little glee in Dodd’s defeat.
Hopefully he’ll beat feet back to CT and start being our Senator again.
Interestingly Senator Lieberman whom the democrats so revile polled considerably better when he ran.
There is a message there, but I doubt they will get it.
Hopefully the Republicans will field a strong candidate for Dodd’s seat.
The seat could […]
