Senate Votes to Halt Strategic Oil Stockpiling

The Senate sent a clear message to George W today about stockpiling oil at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In a clear rebuke, by a 97 to 1, veto proof vote, the Senate voted to “halt deliveries to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve over President Bush’s objections.”
The House is expected to follow suit later today.
The action, supported […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself.  Today, is Super Bowl Sunday; the day when all the most funny commercials premiere on television!  I can’t wait to watch them.
Oh…oh…oh…and the wardrobe malfunctions!  There’s another reason to watch the Superbowl?
That’s right: The half-time show!
There’s supposed to be a game or something going on, but […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.
You see, the thing is, the main reason I put together this round-up, these days, is not so much for my own pleasure (narcissist, though I may be), but to give SSG Dizzy (currently serving his third […]

One More Insult to Injury

The most disturbing aspect of the sorry spectacle of President Bush’s last State Of The Union Address —his airbrushed rendering of his Mideast misadventure. Where it concerned the situation in Iraq the president’s address wasn’t any realistic accounting of the state of affairs. It was a delusional display of false premises and distorted fantasy.

Thoughts on Unity

Ezra Klein had an OP/ED in the L.A. Times on the subject of “unity” on Sunday. In the OP/ED, Ezra says, “even a consensus-building, problem-solving president can’t solve political gridlock.” He’s got a point and a very good point. 
“Unity” ain’t a fix all for America’s ills. For all the hype on bringing everyone together it […]

Lastest Leadership Poll

It should be noted that the American public seems more aware than usual of the importance of governance.
Governance is far different than ‘change’. It’s implementing programs, concepts and ideas effectively.
Just a thought….

What the Reagan-Flap Really Says about Obama, Clinton, and Edwards

The recent flap over Barack Obama’s comments on Ronald Reagan speaks volumes about what distinguishes our three democratic presidential candidates.  But what it says is not complementary to either Obama or Clinton.  Instead, once again, it shows us that John Edwards is the real candidate all Democrats should support.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Never one to do anything half-way, I am preparing to work for the next three days and still feeling like Mother Nature does not like me very much. But, the show must go on, as they say.
It kind of reminds me of what my grandmother used to tell me when I was young, “If […]
