On February 21, 2009 an 11 year-old boy took a shotgun, put it to the back of the head of his father’s pregnant fiancée, and pulled the trigger killing her. The details of the case are about as gruesome as they come. The child was apparently jealous of all the attention she was getting and […]

I’ve decide that Democrats should take the high ground on the health care reform bill and agree to repeal several elements of it. The Dems should hold a major press conference and announce that they’re dropping all of the following items from the bill to address the most grievous complaints of Americans: 1. The death […]

So last night I’m watching TV and I decide to check all three cable news networks to see what each one is saying about the health care reform situation. Of course the most fun was watching Fox News. At the time I checked in Glenn Beck was on and I’m more assured at every viewing […]

I got up this morning which, generally, wouldn’t be a big deal except that Representative John Boehner said that if this health care thing got passed it would mean Armageddon (along with twice saying it’s an apocalypse). As I noted previously a large number of so-called experts told every conservative that would listen that health […]

At the beginning of the month I posted a minority viewpoint regarding my support for wacky Senator Jim Bunning and his protest against extending unemployment benefits yet again. I heard from several people about my opinion and it included lots of “not me” comments. I do understand the perspective having been down that path before. […]

I wanted to remind all of you out there that support the conservative punditry, that should healthcare reform pass today, then it would be in direct contradiction to what nearly all the various conservative outlets and pundits claimed. Time and again, from all corners of conservatism, I’ve heard nearly every pundit declare healthcare reform dead. […]

A funny thing happened while I was catching a bit of Glenn Beck‘s Fox News show last night. As usual Beck was going on about the horrifying, permanently damaging, mind-altering nefarious plots of the evil Left Empire. However, on this night it was a bit different. The imagery was more haunting. The verbiage was more […]

Karl Rove is affectionately and pointedly referred to as “The Architect” whenever he appears on Fox News and most other outlets (though he rarely leaves the safety of Fox). The continual fawning over this guy that’s done by virtually anyone on Fox is a complete joke. Nothing about this man is balanced. He’s treated as […]

So I’m reading the news and I come across the story of Chelsea King, a 17 year-old high school student who disappeared Thursday in San Diego. Police there say they found evidence linking a previous sex offender, John Gardner, to the crime though they didn’t say what that evidence was. Gardner was previously jailed for […]

Several media outlets are up in arms over Senator Jim Bunning‘s tactics in the Senate today blocking voting on a bill that would extend eligibility for “enhanced” unemployment benefits for another 30 days. The bill would also subsidize health insurance for many laid-off workers. Understand that I believe in social programs. I like being an […]

So I went to a friend’s birthday party on Friday. The friend happens to be gay which is important to the story but you’ll have to wait for it. It was a large gathering of people so discussions were somewhat segmented into sections of the table. The bulk of the group was made up of […]

A friend sent me a link this morning to a blog on The Daily Beast about how Republicans don’t seem to have the ability or desire to remember President Ronald Reagan as he actually existed. I found it quite compelling reading as I’d written virtually the same thing eight months ago on my own blog. […]
