Apropos of nothing political, only that I\’m mad as hell and there\’s nothing I can do about it… ….I just got a “failure to appear notice” for a parking violation – specifically for “overtime” as the notice calls it at a parking meter on Smith Street in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The problem? I have not been in Perth Amboy, New Jersey...
This blog is dedicated to anyone who still believes that ObamaCare is not putting the wood to senior citizens. Here, excerpted from Katie Thomas and Robert Pear\’s article in the New York Times – published last Saturday – is the latest ObamaCare outrage: Analliance of drug companies and patient advocates, joined by Democratsand Republicans in Congress, is fiercely...
I won\’t put up even one word of Jason Newman\’s article for Rolling Stone Magazine. It is not because of the article\’s overdose of vulgar language, or the political statements espoused by the subject of his article. It is because I don\’t want to give readers the chance to skip over any parts. If you want to know what children – maybe your...
For well over a year now, I have periodically blogged my suspicion that Hillary Clinton may not run for President because her health will not allow her to. Partly, this was a pure gut feeling, partly it was the way she has looked over this time (older, squatter and more haggard – I do not mean these adjectives to be mean or sarcastic, only honest), and partly it was –...
Why are they protesting in the Ukraine (where the pro-Russia government was deposed in a matter of days)? Why are they protesting in Venezuela (where there is a fair to middling chance the Maduro government will not survive)? Here, excerpted from his latest piece at townhall.com, is Michael Barone\’s opinion. Then I\’ll give you mine, and what I think it means for the...
Do yourself a favor: Don\’t be eating or drinking anything when you read this. Excerpted from Julia Symmes Cobb\’s incredible article at reuters.com: MexicanPresident Enrique Pena Nieto said he is “indignant” at theUnited States\’ deportation of Mexican migrants and described U.S.lawmakers as demonstrating a “lack of conscience” infailing to pass...
As I expected, Arizona\’s Governor Jan Brewer vetoed SB 1062 – legislation which attempted to traverse the line between civil rights and religious expression. Here, in her own words, is why she did so: “SenateBill 1062 does not address a specific or present concern related toreligious liberty in Arizona. The bill is broadly worded and couldresult in unintended and...

The good news is that CBS is offering insufficient coverage to just what a debacle ObamaCare is, how much it is disliked by the public, and how completely the Obama administration – from the top on down – has lied to us about it. How can this possibly be good news? Because, compared to NBC and ABC its coverage is massive. According to Scott Whitlock\’s piece at...

Today\’s quote comes to us from former Florida gubernatorial candidate and current candidate for congress, Alex Sink Ms. Sink, a Democrat, is running in a special election, to be held March 11th, for the congressional seat (FL-13) formerly held by Bill Young, who died last year. She is a strong proponent of “immigration reform” – which, to many people, equates...

How would you feel about an actor with three days\’ work under his belt getting a lifetime achievement award? Sounds pretty ridiculous, doesn\’t it? But, then again, it was suppsed to. I made that example up to be ridiculous. Here, however, is a real example of someone getting an award. See how you react to it. Excerpted from Andrew Johnson\’s piece at...
lois “liar” lerner – who oversaw the disgraceful withholding of tax exempt status from 501(c)4 – and 501(c)3 applicants with names suggesting they were critical of President Obama – is being hauled back to the House Oversight Committee. And it is about damn time. As you may recall, lerner was summoned to testify before the committee last year. At that time, she...
Apropos of nothing political… We saw Saving Mr. Banks yesterday. What an unlikable movie it was. Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson are terrific actors. But: – Hanks played Walt Disney as an impossibly wussy doormat, perfectly willing to put up with every possible insult. I find it extremely hard to believe that someone who scratched and clawed his way to...
