The question is not how “soft” a science is “scientific polling” but how much Obama being “squishy soft” on “national security” will help America’s next “Reagan in waiting.” October surprise… how do you spell “trick or treat” in Farsi? Obama is not aking believers in “change you can believe in” to “get clean […]

Now in Japan, we have the G-8 summit in our northern island of Hokkaido. Frankly, I am not expecting anything momentous to come out of this. However, I did catch George Bush in a sound bite on the news the other day. Basically he was saying that America will not do anything to reduce CO2 […]

Bear Stearns loses half of its value within 30 minutes of market open today. The Fed and JP Morgan prop it up with dollars that have taken a 40% hit during the past 12 months. Mr. Happy gets in front of the Economic Club of New York this morning and blows rainbows […]

The commander in the Middle East, Admiral Fallon, head of Centcom, has resigned. He was one of the officers who stood between us and a disastrous war with Iran. It is no secret that there are those Neocons, who are still running around, who desire this war above all else before President […]

As a founding blogger of BoB, humbly beg to report I am thoroughly disgusted at the recent narrowing down- and simpling down- of the subject focus here. Hilla should this, Barack should that.  The Dems this, the Dems that.  While my observations and transgressions in such areas are duly noted, the mashup of “engagement” and […]

 
Is this really Krugman’s “cult of personality” guy? No wonder Team Clinton sez it wasn’t supposed to be a smear. Seven months is a long time for Barack to lead in the backstretch

But, as those dyed-in-the-wool Democrats pollster-wonks, the Zogby brothers, are wont to admit, the more damaging sotto voce suggesting that Barack Hussein is a “closet Muslim” is waiting […]

A couple of weeks ago, we, that is the American military, dropped some 40,000 pounds of bombs on the southern outskirts of Baghdad. The result was 12 arrests.
You know, our Democratic candidates keep tippy toeing around the question of the war. I think it is high time we let loose, and devastated the […]

While Cheeseheads revel behind Lambeau Field, eating Johnsonville Brats off the tailgates of their 11 mpg Chevy Tahoe SUVs, there is growing bi-partisan support for upping the federal tax on gasoline as much as a buck a gallon before the start of the NFL’s next season.  You might forget who won the Super Bowl by that time, but you […]

Well, here on Best of the Blogs, there has been a lot of writing about the Presidential candidates and the election. Of course, it is a huge event. However, I decided to bring back that old hoary monster, Iraq, back into the discussion.
Recently, the American MSM has been touting the “success” in pacifying […]
