I’ve had enough.

    Okay. I’m officially over it. Like the little girl I saw in a video yesterday weeping because she’s sick of Bronco Bama, I’m ready for a change. I’ve been a good patriot and have gleefully given my energy and my attention to see the election through, but with just five days left, I’m all out of enthusiasm. I’m even tired of wearing my Romney/Ryan tshirts | Read More »

    Blaming Sandy

    I’m not a fan of early voting. I recognize that it’s not always convenient to saddle the pony and ride off across the desert to cast one’s ballot on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November, but this is a civic duty and I can’t find a promise to voters that this responsibility will be convenient. It’s like the walk to school, barefoot, in | Read More »

    Imported from Detroit

    Here’s a happy surprise, fellow political junkies. If you look, you will probably find Romney Ryan signs in front of the Detroit News this morning. The Motor City’s future once teetered on the knife-blade of bankruptcy and, at least according to Team Obama, would have been cast aside as so much refuse if Mitt Romney had had his way. Romney was not in favor of | Read More »

    Muckraking Reaches New Low

    Today’s headlines make me hang my head in shame. On one hand we have Gloria Allred and her Democrat clients trying to un-seal court documents relating to a contentious child custody matter in which Mitt Romney testified and, on the other, we have The Donald revealing that Michelle Obama once wanted to be shed of Barack.  So what do these things have to do with | Read More »

    The Voting Instinct

    I find it terribly entertaining to watch talking man-heads wax eloquent about what motivates female voters.   I suppose they have stacks of data about how women select candidates. I’m even sure those data reflect that some women choose the “handsome” candidate. To my everlasting shame, my mother voted for Bill Clinton.  Twice.  Not because he was particularly gifted in foreign policy or economics, but | Read More »

    Lame Duck Season

    With the second of three debates between the Presidential candidates in the history books this morning, I can’t help but feel optimistic about Mitt Romney’s performance and – more importantly – his prospects for the big win in November. I’m becoming more confident every day that this President will be living in a different house come mid-January. Wahoo!   Of course, thoughts of what Barack | Read More »

    Excuses. Excuses.

    I have no time for excuses.  In my mind, they are completely non productive. Face it, friends, when it comes to excuses, your friends don’t need them and your enemies won’t accept them anyway. Why bother?   I wondered last night, though, at the way in which Vice President Joe Biden excused away the administration’s pitiful handling of the Libyan murders of four American citizens | Read More »

    The President’s Glass Jaw

    Among the more interesting excuses for the President’s deplorable performance at the Denver debate this week was that made by venerated journalist Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame.   Woodward, who has worked extensively with Barack Obama in the writing of the new book, The Price of Politics, believes the usually unflappable Obama must have been distracted by something serious in his personal of presidential life | Read More »

    No, Mister Presdent. That’s not rain running down my leg….

    Those of us who are political junkies and/or those of us who feel that the upcoming election may well be the most important one in American history have been watching the sundry polls which come out every fifteen minutes or so and which usually show the incumbent with a comfortable lead with more than a little angst. None of us wants to see Mitt Romney | Read More »

    Dodgeball – Obama Loses to Univision

    In my morning reading, I learned that – at long last – there has been done a truly informative televised interview with the President of the United States. Perhaps not surprisingly, it wasn’t done by the main stream media. The interview was a forum at the University of Miami televised by Univision in which Obama was given no quarter.   Interviewers pressed the President on | Read More »
