Memo to White House Staff: Too Much Obama is Not a Good Thing

May 17 2012, 02:02 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 0 views
Today I was going to write a piece on a couple of bumps on the campaign trail that Obama is encountering or will encounter down the line. But then one of my readers alerted me to an article that was just too good to ignore. Jim Treacher of The Daily Caller reports second-hand from a [...]

Obama Supports Same-Sex Marriage – So What

May 11 2012, 00:36 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 0 views
On Wednesday, the White House gave ABC’s Robin Roberts an interview she will probably never forget. After many statements from Barack Obama since 2007 on the subject of gay marriage, varying from religious based opposition to an “evolving” view of it, Obama finally told Robin Roberts that he supports gay marriage. And the crowd goes [...]

Time to End Marriage as We Know It

May 09 2012, 03:32 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 0 views
Today the citizens of North Carolina are voting on an amendment to the state constitution that would not only reenforce the current law against same sex marriage but would go a step further in making civil unions illegal also. Homophobes across the country, mostly conservatives, have claimed that extending marriage to gay couples somehow sullies [...]

It Takes a Comedian

May 02 2012, 22:00 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 1 views
It is a sad observation that sometimes it takes a comedian to open our eyes to the truth. Last night, Comedy Central’s two resident political comedians, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart weighed in on the latest GOP temper tantrum over Barack Obama rightfully celebrating the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s capture and killing, using that [...]

Romney’s Latino Problem

April 27 2012, 00:03 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 1 views
The liberal press is making much hay over Mitt Romney’s inevitable loss in November if he does not secure the Latino vote. The meme goes that Mitt is alienating Latinos based on his stance on immigration. Wrong. Romney is alienating Latinos based on his stance on illegal immigration. The more I think about this, the [...]

Enough PC Talk About Working Women

April 21 2012, 14:03 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 145 views

With “Rosengate” virtually gone from public discourse, as I knew it would be, there remains one related item that still gnaws at me. On HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”, Maher, a blunt, rude, confrontational SOB if there ever was one, made the following comment:

What she [Rosen] meant to say, I think, was that Ann Romney has never gotten her ass out of the house to work.

No one is denying that being a mother is a tough job. I remember that I was a handful. Okay, but there is a big difference in being a mother, and that tough job, and getting your ass out of the door at 7am when it’s cold, having to deal with the boss, being in a workplace, and even if you’re unhappy you can’t show it for 8 hours, that is a different kind of tough ...

The N.R.A. Poster You Will Never See

April 16 2012, 20:58 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 2 views
The National Rifle Association (NRA) guards our 2nd Amendment rights with great virtue and patriotism. Yet somehow, I doubt the photo above would ever be used on one of their posters. The person pictured is Guardian and The Nation contributor Gary Younge who covered the recent NRA convention in St. Louis, Missouri. He described his [...]

Allen West Channels John Iselin

April 16 2012, 19:54 Posted in Best of the Blogs | 0 comments , 2 views
Fans of the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate know that John Iselin was the hapless tool of his wife, a Communist plotter played by Angela Lansbury. A running joke in the film was that Iselin (modeled after Joseph McCarthy) always named a different number of Communists who had infiltrated the department of defense. His wife [...]
