Who’s Minding the Stores?

Ever wonder why nucular proliferation is such a low priority of Bushco?  Maybe it’s because they can’t keep track of our own stuff, no less anyone else’s.  Let’s see, fuses sent “in error” to Taiwan, 5 lost nuke missles last year.  What’s next, an inadvertent detonation in Times Square, or downtown SF?  Oops!

Don’t Miss This.

Set your TiVo if you can’t tear yourself away from those magical Oscar red carpet moments, but 60 Minutes is running a long awaited piece on the damage that Bushco’s Justice Department has done to our political process. It’s harrowing. Alberto’s gang, with the active participation of Karl Rove, railroaded Alabama’s Democratic […]

Where’s the beefatorium?

After watching Dr John nod out during the NBA all star game I surfed over to Pinch’s lemonade stand. The beef recall I blogged about on stupid tuesday has reached 143 million lbs.  Lotsa beef for candidates who don’t know where the entitlement beef is coming from… and Bill Keller’s crew doesn’t ID the perps. First bad actor […]

California primaries… where’s the beef, donde es la carne?

Barack,Hilla,Mitt,Mac… beef…it’s being taken off the menu in California public schools. No downer cows left behind,eh? Like they used to say about Camels going to the GIs… not a cough in a carload. 

While We Were Watching the Cat Fight…

The abuses go on. Iraq is still deadly. There is conclusive, statistical proof from two independent think tanks that Bushco lied though their teeth to get us into the war. We’re teetering on a global  financial collapse, perhaps deeper and more complex than 1929. And what do our esteemed candidates and […]

There Is More To Poll Results Than Meets The Eye

In a previous post an average of polls was cited as evidence for Senator McCain’s likely win over Senator Clinton in the general election. The problem with averaging polls is that it mashes really excellent results with truly horrid ones, resulting in some mediocre mess as well as averaging extreme with more typical results. […]

Plaque attack… don’t look back

What happens when the Bush administration puts a fundamentalist,philandering,corrupt doggie doc in charge of the security of the Rx drug supply of the world’s greatest democracy? Dr Les Crawford, a DVM, ran the FDA for his fellow Americans when the marketing for Vytorin, a high priced drug designed to lower cholesterol and reduce arterial plaque was rolled out.  Now, […]

Hilla’s emotion… real, fake, fundraising ploy???

Like Lou Reed sang in Take a Walk on the Wild Side “…little Joe never once gave it away… always had to pay and pay…” America got two seconds of scripted “let down your hair Hilla” in New Hampshire.  Just doing a little political marketing math, I’d say that 30 seconds of the “real” Hilla is worth […]

“Big Dig” done at 500% cost overrun!

Appropriately named after Dem icon “Tip” O’Neill, the downtown tunnel and elevated central artery urban planners thought would bring Boston into the 21st century has laid a golden egg.  Originally budgeted at $2.6 billion, the Apes say our nation’s most expensive highway project- ever- came in five years later at a cool $14.6 billion.  Brahmin John […]

Money Line

President of France Nicholas Sarkozy is a friend of the United States.  He is asking the Chinese to reevaluate their Yuan during his three day visit en Chine.  Last year France totted up a US$ 24 billion trade deficit with China. Peanuts campared to the US number. Sarkozy is attempting to narrow the gap by finalizing a […]
