Unless I am very, very wrong (and it does happen, but I doubt this is one of the times), Mary Landrieu\’s already-slim chance to win the December 6 runoff, thus retain the senate seat she has held for three terms, is in the process of vaporizing. And her own political party is doing the vaporizing. Here is the beginning of a very optimistic – and, in my view, very wrong...
My thanks to today\’s New York Times for providing a wonderful demonstration of obtuseness. Too bad it wasn\’t intended to be one…but what can you do; this is the New York Times. Its lead editorials is titled “The Worst Voter Turnout In 72 Years”. That stands out as being very important – in no small part because it is among the only points...
You want ugly? Here\’s ugly. First we have Vinita Hegwood, a schoolteacher in Texas, who takes exception to people who believe that Michael Brown, the young man shot and killed by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, is anything but a choir boy, and Wilson is anything but a murderer. Here, according to William Bigelow\’s article at breitbart.com, is what she tweeted...
My congratulations to the Washington Post – though it is shameful that they should be congratulated. Let me explain. Here are the first two paragraphs of today\’s Page 1 article, titled “Obama Administration Predicts Significantly Lower Health Care Enrollment”: The Obama administration predicted Monday that the number of people with health coverage through the...
Ok…. My wife is out hitting the supermarket, drug store, etc. And since she left – so far – I\’ve dusted every window covering in the house, several room surfaces, broomed all tile surfaces, vacuumed all rugs, and sponge-mopped all the tiles with my own concoction of vinegar and floor sh..er, stuff. If the floors are dry before she comes back, maybe...
A few blogs ago, I quoted MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber – a so-called “architect”, along with Ezekiel Emanuel (yep, Rahm\’s brother) – of ObamaCare. In that quote, he told us that the only way to enact this Obamination was by hiding its true nature from the public. His exact words: “…call it the stupidity of the American voter...
In case you didn\’t already know what Iran has planned for Israel… …here is another specific declaration from the terrorist lunatics running the country of Iran. Excerpted from CNN\’s significantly flawed, but at least somewhat accurate report: A new document by Iran\’s supreme leader calling for the elimination of Israel shows that world powers must not...
With the greatest of respect to the Washington Free Beacon (www.freebeacon.com) I am putting up its short (about a minute and a half), but wildly entertaining compendium of election night analysis, and reactions, by those fiercely professional, fiercely neutral folks over at MSNBC. I promise you\’ll especially like the commentary by that noted deepthinking analysis, al Sharpton. Here...
Finally, honesty from someone in the Obama administration. Today\’s quote comes to us from a year-old video, just made public, featuring one of the key architects of ObamaCare – MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. Here is Professor Gruber explaining how the administration was able to push ObamaCare through: “Thisbill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score...
It must be silly season. Rush Limbaugh has threatened to sue the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) over an email which quoted him verbatim. Sound ridiculous? That\’s because it is. Here\’s why. First let\’s look at the key part of the DCCC\’s email: “Weknew we had to take action after Limbaugh\’s reprehensible rantexcusing rape on...
Did you know that, according to an article at cnn.com, the vaunted “8 million enrollees” into ObamaCare by March 1st of this year was revised down to 7.1 million in October? And did you know that the Congressional Budget Office had estimated 13 million signups by the end of this year…but, according to CNN.com, they have revised it down to 9 – 9.9 million? That is big...

Ken I just read that, today, actress (and inventor) Hedy Lamarr would have been 100 years old today. There won\’t be much of a celebration, however, because she died almost 15 years ago. Ms. Lamarr had a truly storied life: she was a fabled movie star who, did a nude scene in 1933 – and, later on, the co-inventor of the technology...
Having just read the umpteenth article touting Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) as a serious presidential prospect in 2016…. …let me put this one to rest right now. Rand Paul is a one-term senator, with no experience in any leadership role in the senate and no executive experience in or out of politics. He is eminently unqualified to be President of the United States. And that is before...
