It looks like Speaker of the House John Boehner is up to his old tricks again, threatening to block an increase in the federal debt limit ceiling without obtaining significant new cuts in spending.  There is little doubt that the last two years, which resulted in over $1.0  trillion per year in deficit spending, will bring the country close to …

Wisconsin Dems Should be Tossed

Wisconsin Dems Should be Tossed

I have been mulling this over, and I think that those cowardly Dems who took an out of state hike during the union crisis should be kicked out of office on their arses. Now. Did they not understand that they had a moral, ethical and professional obligation to their constituents? I do not recall “taking a hike” being in their job description.

Twelve Days of Political Christmas

Twelve Days of Political Christmas

On the first day of Christmas
Obama sent to me
A package from a sparse tree

On the second day of Christmas
A Bill was sent to me
Too high a cost, all will be lost
And rich men cannot see

‘Twas The Night Before An Obama Christmas

‘Twas The Night Before An Obama Christmas

As dry leaves that fall before new public option,
When met with an obstacle, they threw their old stocks in.
So up to the house-top discoursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys and Tiger Woods too.

Re-invented GOP is all Talk

With the 2008 presidential and congressional elections less than one year behind us, the list of Republican, 2012 presidential-wannabees is beginning to take shape. Although the list currently contains over a dozen names, at least half of them have already begun the early stages of campaigning. At this point in time the Republican candidates are all attempting to …

AN EVIL TRIUMVIRATE

AN EVIL TRIUMVIRATE

It is a new axis of evil, this triumvirate, consisting of Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Representative Joe Wilson. They are demagogues, all. Truth has no place in their repertoire and their only seeming goal is that of disseminating false information in egomaniac self-promotion.
Palin pontificates about the non-existent “death panels” in Obama‘s proposed Health Care Reform legislation. Her outrageous claim …

Caroline and Palin: Style vs Substance

January 17, 2009 – 11:46 am | 4 Comments | 0 views

Elocution is defined as the art of effective public speaking. The art of oration once taught in public schools has become a lost discipline. Elocution emerged as a formal discipline during the eighteenth century and and instruction included proper diction, use of gestures, stance and dress. Having been a Speech major in college, I was able to teach this for …

Sarah Palin’s Fall From Grace

November 13, 2008 – 2:40 pm | 2 Comments | 0 views

The ubiquitous Sarah Palin has been making her rounds on talk shows and mass media. Having been thwarted or short-circuited from making a case for herself during her campaign with John McCain, Palin is now doing her version of Palin Unplugged. The more she talks, the worse it gets.
While Sarah Palin may have felt called by God to serve her …

Post-Election Comfort Foods

It was a long and sometimes grueling road to the election. We invested ourselves emotionally and physically. At times we were frenetic, anxious or exhilarated to the point of exhaustion. Now it is time for recovery. Since we don’t have the White House culinary staff to help, I will offer you some plebeian recipes for PESD (post-election stress disorder).

Karl Rove and The Palins—Above The Law

September 20, 2008 – 11:27 am | 4 Comments | 1 views

 In United States v. Nixon, Chief Justice Burger stated that executive privilege would most effectively apply when the oversight of the executive would impair that branch’s national security concerns. In 1998 President Bill Clinton became the first president since Nixon to invoke executive privilege in the Lewinsky scandal. On August 1, 2007 Bush invoked the privilege in rejecting a subpoena …

Pork-Barrelled Palin and Earmarks

September 9, 2008 – 11:45 pm | 1 views

The duplicity of the Palin/McCain campaign is contemptuous. McCain has changed his so-called theme several times in an effort to find his niche. He now uses “Change.” Honestly, this man is so lacking in integrity he would plagiarize the works of Shakespeare and think he could get away with it. Well, I see no change with his VP candidate, Palin the queen of earmarks.
