Sometimes there is justice

Lynne Stewart is off to the big house for ten long years… Judge nails the bitch to the wall for demonstrating “lack of remorse.” Awesome. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl sentenced Stewart, 70, today in New York. A federal appeals court in November ruled that his first sentence didn’t reflect the seriousness of her actions. …

Kagan

Yesterday I wrote my Congressman regarding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States.  I told him I hoped he planned to vote against her confirmation, and described some of my reasons.  Today I saw this testimony, and Senator Burr, I hope you heard it, too: A Veteran Puts Kagan …

2010 State of the Union

I mentioned this to people at work the other day, but haven’t seen another comment/post/blog about it, so I guess I’d better before I forget. The president has an annoying habit of thumping his hands on the podium when he speaks. I don’t know if he’s always had it and I never noticed, or if …

Disconnect

Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting This was something I was hoping would be commented on. Kind of weird to read it on an NBC website. From Chicago. But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. …

Obama appointee falls on his sword

Now if the President would just quit appointing his socialist, racist, radical buddies to these positions of power, we could get on to the business of the nation. White House environmental adviser Van Jones resigned Saturday after weeks of controversy stemming from his past activism. “On the eve of historic fights for health care and …

Like a kick to the head

You know, the whole argument over whether or not you want the government to make your life choices for you is one thing.  I volunteered for that sort of life for twenty years, so I may be mildly hypocritical when I say I don’t want that for everyone else.  Remember, though – I had a …

I’d be trying to move past it, too

If I managed to go from being “respected Harvard professor” to lunatic race-card playing punchline, I’d be trying to put it all behind me, too. BOSTON (AP) – Black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he’s ready to move on from his arrest by a white police officer, hoping to use the encounter to …

Nancy, GO HOME

The village of San Francisco is missing their idiot.  Can someone please send Nancy home? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said she’s open to keeping the House in session through the August recess to pass its healthcare overhaul. “I think 70 percent of the American people would want that,” Pelosi said. “I want …

The repeated Lie Part II

I swear I just said this… “If you like what you’re getting, keep it,” Obama said. “Nobody is forcing you to shift.” Yet the legislation the Obama administration is working on with the Democratic-controlled Congress would make major changes in how Americans pay for health care. The goal is to slow cost increases and bring …

The repeated lie

If you say it often enough, and with enough conviction, sooner or later people will believe it – even if they know it’s an outright lie. “If you like your current insurance, you will be able to keep it” Forget the fact that a government-sponsored plan, paid for out of tax dollars, will inevitably put …
