Obama Apologies – Appropriate? Or Not?
Does President Obama apologize unnecessarily for America? President Obama faces the world with legitimate humility, humbled by the embarrassment of the past administration.

New Ideas From the GOP?
Here we go. The GOP has showcased three of their finest minds in an attempt to re-brand the old cow. Jon Stewart is probably the best at highlighting nonsense – or perhaps he just has a great staff with good video editing capabilities. Let’s check out the new ideas of the Republican re-branding.

Republican Peanut Butter
Have you bought any peanut butter lately? If so, perhaps you should check the label for signs of the GOP. The current wide spread salmonella poisoning of peanut butter is a great metaphor for the leadership of the GOP for the past eight years. The Bush administration, supported by the same congressmen who now oppose Obama, had one simple philosophy in domestic affairs: Leave Business Alone!

The G.O.P.’s Five Stages of Grief (Video)
Grief is an emotional response to loss. Our original curiosity was around the five stages of grief after the election – but the folks who produced this video recognized the grief began before the cancerous terminal patient died. Curiosity drove us to enter “Election Grief” in the youtube search engine. This one video stood out [...]

This is a banner year in American Politics. This is the year when the people rise up and crucify the self serving, greedy, power and control, mean spirited Republicans.

Governor Sarah Palin has resurrected an old term – Joe Six Pack. Her notion is that she represents that demographic – folksy, hard working, beer drinking, regular American people. Her position is not so much that she can represent Joe – it is more that she is Joe. This is troubling.

Republican or Democrat, we must be proactive in our approach to the world. Reactionary government is something one expects from a totalitarian dictatorship walking the line of collapse.

McCain will be seen as the establishment candidate. Thompson, Huckabee, and Giuliani will line up with McCain.
