Bachmann on Downhill Slide

Sometimes you just have to laugh as fate plays its hand toward the unjust. For a while, things seemed to be going quite well for the two-hand-waving Michele Bachmann, all cheery, smiling, and sounding more literate than Sarah Palin.  There were moments at rallies when she actually appeared to be a GOP contender for the presidential race. And then the …

Bachmann Says Blacks Were Better Off As Slaves

Ever since declaring her intention to seek her party’s nomination for President in 2012,  Minnesota Republican  Michele Bachmann has made it crystal clear that she is the only  candidate that represents the ultra right-wing interests of the Tea Party Movement. Sensing the inextricable move of the Republican Party back toward the comfortable, yet somewhat tired, platform of “traditional family values”, …

Santorum : A Legend In His Own Mind

Rick Santorum, the ex-senator from Pennsylvania, made it official today; he is seeking the Republican  nomination for President of the United States.   Some people may say that Santorum’s bid for the presidency  says volumes about the state of disarray within the Republican party; however, it appears that Santorum’s unbridled ambition for a return to power says more about the state …

Palin, Trump and Gingrich: The Laughter Goes On

I guess that sometimes wishes really do come true;  Sarah Palin is positioning herself to declare  her candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.  Up until now, with Palin sitting on the sidelines, making speeches , writing more books  and making lots of dough, the Republican Party has  only supplied  a limited number  of  truly out-of-touch candidates to tickle America’s sense …

Gingrich Thrown Under The Bus By The GOP

It’s been less than one week since former House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.  This has proven to be  about the right amount of time needed for Newt’s campaign to come unglued.  In a monumental act of political courage, Gingrich wasted no time in lambasting the Republican’s ill-conceived plan to do away with the …

Newt Gingrich Throws Down the Gauntlet

It should come as no surprise that the perennial sweetheart of the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich, has decided to once again “throw his hat in the ring” for his party’s presidential nomination.  According to Gingrich spokesman, Rick Tyler, the former Georgia Congressman will announce his candidacy on Facebook and Twitter at around 5:00 PM today.   Ironically,  this would make Gingrich …

Sarah Palin’s Docu-Dare

Other reviews have stated that there are hidden innuendos in the series that could mark the beginning of Palin’s 2012 run. There are scenes with grizzly bears and we have often heard Palin speechify about “mama grizzlies.”

Not watching TV lately has kept me out of the loop but I still feel loopy, if you know what I mean.
