Congressional Dems Hedge on Healthcare

What the F*** is wrong with Congressional Dems? We’ve got 2 candidates out there campaigning on healthcare reform and these fools try to lower public expectations:

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza.

Hillary and Iraq

Of all of the many reasons to support a Democrat for President of the U.S. in 2008, one of the most vital is to start to bring to a close the reckless bloodbath that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and friends opened up in Iraq. From the safety of our homes we only know the starkest […]

Obama and Another Great Communicator and Teflon Man: RR

Ronald Reagan being a man of deeper parts than we thought at the time, had three great public talents. Barrack Obama has only two.
1. RR was a great speaker. He was eloquent when needed and direct when required. He would decide what to say and do it, mostly with grace.
2. RR had the ability to […]

The Obama Myth Exposed

The most intriguing part of the State of the Union Address for me was watching the Kansas Governor audition for the second spot on the Obama ticket. The main lesson I took from the entire experience, however, is that Obama is playing a dangerous game by creating expectations that he almost certainly cannot deliver on.
Sebelius […]

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 […]
