Dear Mr. Netanyahu,

    You don’t know me and the likelihood is that you never will, but I owe you a debt of gratitude, one that I should be paying to the President of the United States.  Unfortunately, both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama have plainly refused to take the battle to our sworn enemies.  We know for a fact that the Iranians helped al-Queda, Iraq for years with | Read More »

    On Secession

    Occasionally, the topic comes up amongst groups that have an axe to grind with the Federal government, whether it was the South (in the Civil War), blue states (in the age of W.), or Red states (now). Most, if not all of the lamestreams are going to pooh-pooh such an idea, and in fact, even the bloviator, David Letterman, had a little riff the other | Read More »

    Dear Speaker Gingrich,

    This is not a news flash. You have no clear path to the Presidency of these United States.  I’m sure you’ve realized this by now, so have your opponents.  Of course, Mitt Romney will be the nominee, because that’s where the money and the Republican insiders reside.  You discovered that in Florida.  I’d like to ask you to step up to the plate and do | Read More »

    Commander-in-Chief

    The most sacred “hat” that the President of the United States wears is that of the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces.  It was the primary role that Pres. George Washington played, according to him, and it defines what makes an American President a force to be reckoned with in the eyes of the rest of the world.  It used to be that we, as | Read More »

    Walkers Plan

    I’m not exactly sure whether Gov. Walker has an endgame in mind, other than the balancing of the budget for his state.  Wisconsin is not in any worse shape than many of our other states.  In NY, CA, and MA the picture is much gloomier, and not likely to improve for many years to come.  Even so, it’s morally right for the states to reduce | Read More »

    John Conyers: Most senile member of the CBC

    In an amazing act of hubris Conyers, who was elected to Congress when BHO was 3 has demanded that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demote the Director of USAID.  His offense, failing to bring black Americans with him to a meeting about Haiti.  The Congressman clearly can’t figure out that the such a meeting would require that it’s attendees have a level of expertise that | Read More »

    ReallyClearlyPolitical Polling Data

    Watching the favorable/unfavorable polling numbers on this WH has been quite the pastime for me.  I, and I think a lot of political junkies, frequently visit realclearpolitics.com.  Normally such a visit takes about a minute or so.  I usually chuckle at the CBS, CNN, or NYT polling results.  I almost never really try to analyze their numbers because what’s the point, they never do any | Read More »

    A Brief Study in Contrasts

    Today it’s being reported. That a NYT reporter was doing propaganda work for the Taliban when they decided to kidnap him and his translator. Apparently, the Associated (with Terrorists) Press received and respected a request, by the NY Times, to keep the kidnapping quiet. Contrast that with the report about the request by the US military and the family of a mortally wounded US Marine | Read More »

    Scotland Sucks!

    BIG TIME! With all due deference to the hard-working, patriot Scottish-Americans out there.

    If I were King Obama …

    I would have come at this whole presidency thing from a completely different angle.  So, for a moment, close your eyes and imagine a short, bald, Jewish guy transmogrifying into a tall, skinny black guy.  When you open your eyes, I be the President. My first four years would go something like this: appoint well-known moderates to positions of power in the administration, but have | Read More »
