C-CPAN Must-see TV

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Since it’s summer and there’s nothing but re-runs on I’ve been channel surfing more than usual. Last night I happened to catch a speech by Muslim dissident Irshad Manji on C-SPAN. What a gutsy broad! Ultimately, I think she’s a leftist with whom I would disagree on many things. Despite her […]

My 200th Post

Thursday, June 1st, 2006

Or thereabouts.

I guess I’ll have to add this one to my “About” page [HT: Hot Air]:

Al Gore has made his sharpest attack yet on the George Bush presidency, describing the current US administration as “a renegade band of rightwing extremists.”

Come and join our renegade band! We’ll put out an album with cover […]

Like Rain on Your Wedding Day

A little too ironic…

Okay, so Alanis Morissette doesn’t seem to know what irony means. Here’s a better example.

A guy who criticizes Harding University for its loose and long ago association with right wing undesirables also posts a link on his blog to a video.

The point of the video is to deny the plain […]

I’ve Said it Before…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Republicans are in trouble…

There is only one thing that can save the GOP this November, and it is entirely up to one man who has shown absolutely zero loyalty to his Party. I know Ex knows who I am talking about, but […]

Washington, We Have a Problem…

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

by OOTM

I remember election night 2000. I stayed up all night waiting to find out which man would be the next president and which party would control Congress. It took 36 days to fully materialize, but in the end, I was thrilled. The Republicans had both houses of Congress and the White […]

Not that it matters…

Not that it matters to the loonies of the world that refuse to let facts shape their emotions, “but recently declassified documents explicitly show that the Iraqi military had ordered a call for volunteers to carry out suicide attacks on American interests, six months before 9/11 and two years almost to the day prior […]

Black Republicans?

Monday, April 10th, 2006

by OOTM

What do you get when you cross a black person, a Republican, and a Church of Christ preacher?

Whether or not it sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, what you really get is Herman E. Wesley, a black Church of Christ preacher from Montgomery, Alabama who is making news by trying […]

Pssst - Bush Isn’t a Conservative

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Pssst. Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone, but Bush isn’t a conservative - at least, he’s not a conservative in the fiscal sense of the word…

Back in 1994, when Democrats controlled congress and the White House, conservatives feared the Democrats would spend America into oblivion. In January 1995, both houses of congress were sworn […]

Joshua Bolten - Really?

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

As a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative, I would like to make a quick comment on President Bush’s choice to replace outgoing Chief of Staff Andrew Card with current Office of Management and Budget Director Joshua Bolten: Is this a joke?

Joshua Bolten has overseen fiscal irresponsibility of the highest order during his three year tenure at […]

Coulter Crazy

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

Here is my take on the latest furor over Ann Coulter saying something irresponsible:

I’m thinking to myself, if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We […]
