Just Stop Digging

RULE # 1 – When you find yourself in a hole the best thing you can do is stop digging. I think there is very little argument that the country is in a hole. A deep, deep hole. So why, finding the country in this hole, a hole much deeper than he ever imagined, does [...]

Damn The Torpedoes

“Our system did not work in this instance” So says the Obama administration’s Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.  This, of course, after she previously said that the system worked just fine.  Kind of a variation on the old John Kerry “It worked before it didn’t work” type of logic. The newly exposed shortcomings in [...]

Finding Hope

There is a lot to be said for Hope. I think it’s pretty obvious that I never bought into the whole Hope and Change thing pushed by Barack Obama and his Chicago political team.  Some would say that I’m too cynical; I prefer to think I am too realistic. For me things need to make [...]

Defining Failure

“Hey, did you get that thing I sent you?” With the overwhelming popularity of e mail as our main form of communication the above quote is probably used more on daily basis than a Mexican Diner’s restroom. My e mail inbox is usually filled with forwarded tidbits of political humor and commentary.  One such e [...]

Where’s The Love

But, but, but….wait.  This can’t be right? Hope and Change overtook the country last year like a plague of biblical locust with the solemn pledge that the new administration consisting of the Messiah and his disciples would not only change the tenor of negative sentiment in America but would be received with open arms by [...]

A Problem Of Semantic Proportions

Perhaps the problem is in the semantics. In a speech this past December 8th, President and economic guru Barack Hussein Obama said he was putting the finishing touches on his jobs creation plan.  Showing a penchant for the same cost cutting that has been displayed by most major corporations, Obama used the same talking points [...]

Chinese Take-Out

To say the least, Obama does not have it “Made in China”. The current trip of Barack Obama to meet with the leaders of China is a perfect illustration of what happens when a man who depends solely on style over substance meets a culture that is not impressed by his panache. China is the [...]

A Fish Story

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. But give a man a 33% stake in a major American automaker and he’ll eat really well for a very long time. Quietly, almost imperceptibly, the news hit the wires that two more United Auto Workers locals overwhelmingly rejected proposed changes to their labor [...]

Equal Justice

John Allen Mohammed has been executed and quite frankly I don’t feel any safer. At the Greensville Correction Facility just outside Richmond Virginia the DC Sniper breathed his last. He was executed after having been convicted of the murder of Dean Meyers, one of the victims in this madman’s killing spree that took ten lives [...]

Old News

Welcome to Washington where everything old is new again. I was more than a little surprised to see the headlines of an Associated Press report that President Obama had gained support of two critical organizations for his ObamaCare nationalized healthcare bill. I quickly read the story to see who was now throwing their support his [...]
