The NY Times Stinks at News Analysis
Should General Motors file receive a financial bailout from the U.S. government, or should it be left to deteriorating market conditions that will lead to a bankruptcy filing? This is the question put forth by a NY Times “News Analysis” piece entitled “G.M.’s Troubles Stir Question of Bankruptcy vs. a Bailout .” Unfortunately, this article [...]
Captain Obama Takes the Helm
I am very glad that Democrat Barack Obama won the presidential election yesterday, defeating his Republican rival, John McCain. I read a slew of articles today from the major papers - both left and right. My thoughts are a meaty stew of emotion at the moment ( I’m sorry for that last bit about stews [...]
What Does this Historic Election Mean to You?
This is an historic election - no matter whether the Democrats or the Republicans win. Just look at all the dramatic quotes concerning the 2008 election:
Here’s what CNN had to say:
“No matter how they vote, Americans will make history today. They may pick the first black U.S. president. Or the oldest first-term president and the [...]
Maverick Reformer Palin Violates Ethics Law
It’s 11pm and I can’t seem to turn this diabolical machine off. I was checking my Yahoo email account and I saw a story about a bipartisan Alaska panel finding Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin in violation of a state ethics law prohibiting public officials from using their offices for personal gain.
In a [...]
Conservative Columnist Turns on Palin
I was watching the Saturday Night Live skit lampooning the Sarah
Palin interview with Katie Couric of CBS News on YouTube yesterday
afternoon (what a world we live in!), and I was very impressed at
how flawlessly Fey portrayed the Republican vice presidential candidate.
She deftly mastered Palin’s mannerisms and speech patterns, from the
constant winking and blinking, to her [...]
Republicans Had Better Weed
Are these guys high? As the debate in Congress over the
$700 billion financial system bailout rages on, I’m seeing
the same ideological arguments playing out in Washington
that always surface as Democrats lock horns with Republicans.
This is not the run-up to the Iraq war; there’s no doubt that
serious damage is being done to the US. Yet, [...]
End of the Road for Rudy
Rudy Guiliani dropped out of the 2008 presidential campaign
after placing third in the Florida primary this week.
His grand plan to make the Sunshine State a platform
from which he would soar to the Republican nomination
now lies in ashes at his feet.
His now former campaign can be compared to the movie
“Being There”, which starred Peter Sellers in [...]
New Clown Upsets Old Clowns- by Greg Strid
“Man with over-sized Homer Simpson head upstages
GOP debateâ€- that is the headline I would have gone
with to describe TV and film star (and former senator
from Tennessee) Fred Thompson’s announcement to
run for the presidency of the U.S.A.
Just before the Fox sponsored GOP debate last night,
the Thompson crew launched an advertisement entitled
“Debateâ€, in which he was clad [...]
Farewell, Turd Blossom- by Greg Strid
Farewell, Turd Blossom!
Karl Rove, the boyish-looking political strategist widely
believed to be Bush’s brain announced his departure
on Monday in front of a rather stunned collection of the
news media. Mr. Rove said that he will be resigning from
his position as deputy chief of staff at the end of the month.
The political tactics that Rove employed may [...]
