I filled up my gas tank yesterday. The debit card/cash price was $4.23 a gallon at the cheapest place in town. The total bill was $64.25. The good news is that I no longer have a 66-mile round-trip commute to work 5 days a week anymore and that if worst came to absolute worst, I […]

I cannot make this stuff up. President Obama at his birth certificate unveiling this morning: "We've got enormous challenges ahead of us," he said. "We have to make a series of very difficult decisions about how we invest in our future but also get ahold of the deficit and debt," he said. "But we're not […]

Let me preface this by stating a few facts. Terry Jones is a jackass of little note who shouldn’t have a gun.

The speech is probably the most dishonest and demagogic speech I’ve seen since Moammar Gaddafhi gave that one a few weeks back. First from ABC News’ Jake Tapper: President Obama at the GOP House retreat, January 2010: “We're not going […]

(via Timeswatch) The Republican plan includes a shrinking of Medicare and Medicaid and trillions of dollars in tax cuts, while sparing defense spending. Mr. Obama, by contrast, envisions a more comprehensive […]

Yeah, you know the next line. It looks like the corrupt party has once again outfoxed the stupid party (as Democratic strategist Pat Caddell likes to characterize them) once again up on Capitol Hill. For example, the final cuts in the deal are advertised as $38.5 billion less than was appropriated in 2010, but after […]
