Oops! The Media Did It Again

Ever vigilant, the mass media dug into a critical social issue and rooted out the information in their never-ending quest to guarantee the people’s right to know. 
What they determined was the people’s right to know was that 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears, star of Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101,” is pregnant. Jamie Lynn is the younger sister of [...]

Christmas Wars In Wisconsin

Nativity scenes are common this time of year.
They are seen in front of homes and churches.  This year, they are being moved onto public property.
The First Amendment of the Constitution prohibits the Establishment of Religion.  This ’separation’ is designed to protect religious freedom and not subvert it.  Some people don’t get it.

Ten Post Round-Up: Fill in The Blanks Sunday

Ah, I have returned to the blogosphere from what is now my regular weekend musical sabbatical and only the Flying Spaghetti Monster knows how much I’ve missed you guys.
The one thing I wish I missed is the fact that, these days, the great outdoors of Colorado has been colder than Condoleeza Rice! I’ll take an [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Jeopardy Edition

I got a beef with Mother Nature, today. Lots’o snow, lots’o cold and a whole lotta icy on the streets. I got things to do today, ya know. I do have a life outside of the blogosphere.
Speaking of blogging, I guess while I wait for the temperature to get about 15 degrees, I’ll just have [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: True or False Tuesday

You will have to excuse me, as I am just recently done with the watching of the “Borat” movie right now, so my snark meter is on high.
It’s snowing again in my place of blogship. That means it’s cold. It’s a good thing I was able to stock up on necessities like coffee and chocolate. [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Multiple Choice Sunday

I hope ya’ll will forgive me for not posting over the last couple of days. Just trying to prioritize sleep into my busy schedule since I don’t have SSG Dizzy to boss around, these days, and I am in the precarious position of doing everything by myself.
Besides, aside from enjoying my work, I have been [...]

Obama’s BS: Oblique Attacks and the Denial of Reality

Obama’s new campaign commercial that Pamela Leavey posted hits on two of the many reasons I’ve kicked him off my candidate list.
This is part of what appears to me to be a very, very calculated old school politician wanting to appear as the very attractive ’savior’ of America.
Lastly, it seems Obama has adopted a “Can’t [...]

Romney, Tancredo & Hunter: The GOP Midgets

As I see it, the big Romney “I got religion, who could ask for anything more” speech is a clear sign that he has entered the phase of the campaign where he can now be ranked with the bottom dwellers. He has a weakness and he accentuated that. He has no clear and compelling strength [...]

Mitt’s Big Faith Speech

Everyone’s talking about Mitt Romney’s big “faith” speech today. You know, the one where he talked about how he won’t let the Mormon Church dictate how he runs the country, if elected president.
What Romney did manage to do however, was throw the red meat to the hungry lions of the religions right and ”call for a robust [...]

Huckabee: Divine Providence Helps My Poll Numbers

Here we go again… Another Republican who is directed by God:  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSQNSlUUoOc

It wasn’t enough that “God” wanted Bush to go to war with Iraq, now we have “God” helping Huckabee with the polls and wanting him to be president. Good grief! H/T to Andrew Sullivan.
UPDATE: Campaign Spot on NRO has more on Huck and “God”: “Wow. [...]

Clueless Huckabee for President

Oh my goodness this is priceless… Mike Huckabee sat down an “on-the-record dinner” with a group of reporters in Des Moines and low and behold he knew nothing, I repeat NOTHING, about the Iran NIE. As Jonathan Martin notes on Politico, “The transcript speaks for itself“:
Kuhn: I don’t know to what extent you have been briefed or [...]

The Mike Huckabee Phenomenon

If you pay attention to political news, you’ve heard of Mike Huckabee. My formal introduction came Sunday morning on This Week, and I found it interesting. Not as interesting, perhaps, as if Stephanopolus had tried to get original in his questions. There are a set of “issues” that are supposed to be difficult for Huckabee, [...]
