It's 6AM CDT, and so far it is looking about like what the analysts predicted with Republicans picking up roughly 60 seats in the House and 6 seats in the Senate. There are still seats that are undecided that could push the GOP even further. One can hope.
No, it is ...

Every lousy column needs a response, and so it is with the latest from Eugene Robinson and his take on "Tea Party ire."
First, I'll state the obvious: It's not racist to criticize President Obama, it's not racist to have conservative views, and it's not racist to join the Tea Party. ...

Flipper Kerry must be jealous that he is not the only person to garner the coveted Moonbat Award more than once. I think he is also jealous about not being in the limelight like Al "leave the motor running" Gore. But what the heck is he talking about?
From boston.com
"It's absurd. ...

I am stunned to learn that a union worker was fired from a job for wearing a hat and sweat shirt depicting the U.S.S. George H. W. Bush, a ship that his son serves on, simply because his idiot union boss thought it was somehow a political statement.
Check out the ...

What do the numbers 3 and 20 have in common? Okay, that first one is scaled down; the 3 is for $3 TRILLION. The 20 is the number of months Obama has been in office. Put them together and you have the amount that Obama has increased the National Debt. ...

Someone please tell me why the Main Stream Media is still so much in love with Gore Vidal? Why is his uninformed opinions even relevant. Perhaps I should take on the position of “What Gore Vidal says is unimportant and I do not hear his words.” IN the meantime, for ...

Yesterday I ran across a piece on Big Piece by Mark Seavey concerning (and excerpting) an editorial by David Green that had been published earlier this week in the Daily Illini. Green was writing about a patriotic incident at a football game, where there was a military flyover and some ...

Okay, Obama is obviously NOT a serious leader if he thinks it is okay for us to absorb 9/11 scale terrorist attacks. From the Washington Post:
During an interview with Woodward in July, the president said, "We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, ...

Barack Obama, while addressing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (another racist group dedicated to divindg Americans along racial lines), deliberately edited out honoring the Creator when quoting the Declaration of Independence.
Roughly one minute into the video:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain ...

How many people remember Obama's campaign promise that he would remove ALL U.S. troops from Iraq within his first 16 months of office? Now, nearly 20 months after Obama was sworn into office, he has declared an end to combat operations in Iraq, and the last combat brigades left that ...

I ran across a recent op-ed by SF author Alan Dean Foster on the NY Times website today. He makes a couple of interesting points about Arizona's immigration enforcement law, SB 1070.
The part of the law not blocked by a federal judge has been in force for over a week ...

I ran across a couple of great music videos over on youtube, one courtesy to my pal Richard in San Diego (hat tip).
The first one is "It's Time to Party" by Brion Butterbaugh:
This is followed by a couple of great videos by Lisa Mei Norton with "A Revolution's Brewing" and ...

I like Ray Bradbury. Always have. His writings were first introduced to me around the fifth grade with his early short stories. I continued to read him throughout my youth. I even have met him on more than a few occasions over the years. Nice guy.
Now I find even more ...

It's amazing what a difference 20 months makes on the political scene. For the eight years of the Bush Administration, we heard an unending scream condemning deficit spending by the Left and how it was eating away our children's future. Yes, Bush, with the help of a Democrat controlled Congress, ...

Elton John is, without a doubt, one of the greatest Rock and Roll performers of all time. I was mildly surprised to learn that he recently played in Arizona, despite a boycott of the state over SB 1070 (enforce the immigration laws law), but had a few choice words for ...

I am sitting in the hotel lobby of WesterCon, in Pasadena, CA. Kind of a slow convention thus far, but there are some good science panels slated for today and tomorrow.
Meanwhile, watching CNN, they talk about the "2 million" jobs that the stimulus has created or saved. How do they ...

I've been negligent in my writing duties again. Lot's happening, including deciding to stop playing WoW, which has been the primary cause of my writing absence. Fun game, but I'd rather get back to the business of writing. That being said…
Lots of things going on in the Greatest Nation on ...

Just what we need, a new moment in Moonbattry. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) is now calling a Republican filibuster on a piece of Democratic legislation "anti-American". Wow, how's that for demagoguery?
From Politico:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accused Republicans of being "anti-American" by demanding changes to a Wall Street ...

Dear Comrade:
My heartiest congratulations on advancing the People's cause by nationalizing Amerika's health insurance industry. What a stroke of genius; destroying the capitalistic health insurance industry, forcing all Americans to buy sub-standard health care coverage, raising taxes and government spending to new levels, and expanding government with over 100 new ...

ObamaCare passed in the House; God save the Union; rest in peace, U.S. Constitution. Chicago-style politics, back room deals, and partisan politics won, as did the Socialist-Marxist agenda of the Obama Administration. Whatever happened to transparency Obama campaigned on and promised Americans?
I looked over the roll-call vote and saw a ...
