GOP Kicks Outgoing Bush
Considering the ass-whuppin' that was Election 2008, just who are these people to kick President Bush while he's not only down but on his way out? Republican Party officials say they will try next month to pass a resolution accusing President Bush and congressional Republican leaders of embracing "socialism," underscoring deep [...]
The “GOP’s War on Unions”
Here's a fairly pathetic rant about how the evil Republicans are going after the poor workers and their unions. "If workers are going to benefit from this recovery, they are going to have to have the ability to bargain for higher wages and higher benefits. We can't depend on employers on their own to deliver the benefits of this [...]
Piling On The Times
The New York Times attempted to make news during the presidential election. Well, the election is over, their guy won, and The Times may end up being the real loser (more so than considered now)… A Washington lobbyist charges that The New York Times smeared her in a February 2008 story that she claims gave readers the false impression that [...]
I Can’t Drive 55
Some would argue she was bringing her guilty of bringing her job home with her. Danica Patrick is the first woman ever to win an Indy car race, but she's certainly not the first to get a speeding ticket. She was tagged in August for driving 57 mph in a 40 mph zone and was told to go to defensive driving school. That was kind of funny. You [...]

Bush Was Right On Gitmo Tenants
This one won't be making the rounds on the liberal sites. That would involve admitting they were wrong… A federal judge in Washington ruled Tuesday that the government was properly holding two Guantánamo detainees as enemy combatants, the first clear-cut victories for the Bush administration in what are expected to be more than 200 [...]
San Francisco: Blacks NIMBY
This is a tough one. I can either side with know-it-all, more-compassionate-than-anyone, liberal San Francisco, OR I can sympathize and be (once again) be called a self-hating black… As more and more black renters began moving into this mostly white San Francisco Bay Area suburb a few years ago, neighbors started complaining about loud [...]
The Gazans deserve whatever they’re getting right now
Former Ambassador Marc Ginsburg says the Palestinian Arabs deserve better than Hamas. Ultimately, the Palestinian people deserve better than what Hamas offers them. Hamas has rejected every opportunity to be more accommodating not only with Israel, but also with every Arab mediator that has tried to mend Hamas' fences with the Palestinian [...]
Long Lost Loser Of The Day… Decade?
Our favorite atheist, Michael Newdow, just won't let it go. Obama's going to have a long four years, haunted by his supporters.
Where Is He Now?
I'm sure some of you remember the whole Jena Six controversy. I mean, c'mon, any event that prompts a John Mellencamp song has gotta be big. Well, the one of the black "victims" in that case has made news once again. Jena Six chief figure Mychal Bell’s mother Melissa Bell says that Michael is “fine” but confirmed that he [...]
