Is A Partisan America About to Lose The Future?
Petty squabbling is consuming The United States Government. There is gridlock on Capital Hill. It appears that most people in Congress are running for reelection in 2010 and their message is to blame the other party. Is this leadership? Is this the solution to the mounting problems of America? We need only to look back [...]

Partisanship – Conflicting Opinions or Theological Hatred?
Churchill negotiated a settlement in a Catholic/Protestant Ireland in the 1920’s. He later said that he knew he had been fair because neither party was happy with the results. It seems to us that we can know President Obama has been fair and non-partisan because both the left and the right are protesting his policies.

Obama Holds U. S. Military Accountable
President Obama announced a few days ago that he was sending 30,000 more America troops to Afghanistan. They will be supplemented with around 10,000 NATO troops. That meets the leaked request from the military. But the President gave the Generals some goals to meet. That is very appropriate.
A bunch of blowhard senators (John McCain and [...]

The Rat In The Corner – Iran, Health Care, etc.
To paraphrase Henry Kissinger: Never back a rat in to a corner – he will come out fighting. Always leave your opponent an escape route – a means by which they can save face. President Obama recently used a phrase much as this when referring to Iran. He said something like, “We are trying to [...]

Rush Limbaugh is Imploding
Before the dawn of the flat screen television everyone used CRT’s (Cathode Ray Tubes). Before the dawn of the 2008 elections people listened to Rush Limbaugh. These two inventions of modern man are very similar. They are both filled with vacuums and when struck they implode.
Rush Limbaugh is imploding. Limbaugh’s biggest fan is DICK Cheney [...]

McCain Continues Trivial Pursuit
John McCain demonstrated his proclivity for trivia in the last election for President. While the country was facing two wars and an economic collapse beyond any seen in recent memory, McCain was harping about Bill Ayers. He lost the election but has not lost his desire to make a big deal out of small things.

John McCain with Jay Leno
Why does this happen. After an election we see the real charm of the candidates who lost? We sincerely wish McCain has just been himself during the campaign – America deserves a healthy dialogue on issues. Check out McCain with Jay Leno – this is pretty good:

As the blame game began, analysts also said McCain’s choice of inexperienced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin [...]
First Dude
It turns out Todd Palin is a closet metrosexual:
On top of the $150,000 first outlined in Federal Election Commission filings, Palin spent “tens of thousands of dollars” on additional clothing, makeup and jewelry for herself and her family, including $40,000 in luxury goods for her husband, Todd, our colleague Michael Shear reports. The campaign was [...]

by Frank James

This morning, National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” aired an interview with John Weaver, a former McCain strategist who left the campaign last year when the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign first imploded during the primaries.
Among the McCain campaign’s mistakes, according to Weaver, [...]
