on November 15th, 2012 at 2:16 pm

It’s not just their last candidate for President, Mitt Romney(65), seems to have emerged from a 1950′s time machine, the entire Republican Party is like a faded old image from a mid-century Sears catalog. From right wing billionaires like the Koch Brothers(72-77) and Sheldon Adelson(79), to media manipulators like Rupert Murdoch(81) and Roger Ailes(72), to conservative commentators like […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Calling For an Afghan Airlift

on November 7th, 2012 at 7:28 pm

Afghanistan is broken; the Soviet Union broke it, we broke it, the Taliban broke it, al-Qaeda broke it, Pakistan broke it, everyone’s broke it and no one knows how to fix it. Something radical needs to be done, and I’m not talking about bombing it into smaller and smaller rubble, or paying off corrupt Afghan families […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

While Mormons like to say they’re no crazier than other religions, it’s apparent that when you actually compare them, Mormons have them beat by a mile. Mormons like to shine the light at other religions when they’re questioned, and traditional religions do believe in some pretty outrageous things, but they are distinguished from cults in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Did Mitt Romney Benefit From Affirmative Action At Harvard?

on May 23rd, 2012 at 8:58 pm

I was quite surprised to discover that Mitt Romney was an affirmative action recipient when he was picked to run the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. In that case, he was the beneficiary of a selection committee that put his Mormonism ahead of all else. I’ve since discovered equally troubling news. It appears […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Campbell Brown: Republican Bully of the Day

on May 22nd, 2012 at 4:31 am

I know, I know, Campbell Brown worked at CNN, she can’t be a Republican. Tell that to Greta Sustern, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan, Ed Henry, John Roberts, and Bill Hemmer, all of whom have jumped to Fox News. CNN isn’t Fox News’ competitor, they’re it’s farm team. Then there’s the fact that Campbell […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Campbell Brown, former television personality for CNN had some rather harsh things to say about President Obama and his “condescending” attitude toward women. It struck me as oddly partisan, she is after all marrried to a Dan Senor, a top adviser to Mitt Romney, but I thought I’d check it out for myself. Nope, nothing Brown said […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Mitt Romney’s Bullying Days Leave a Sore Spot in Our Memory

on May 22nd, 2012 at 2:08 am

I think it’s probably how Mitt Romney tried to duck the whole issue, how he never really took responsibility for his actions and tried to sweep all his ugly past under the rug in one fell swoop. Whatever it is, Romney is having a hard time distancing himself from the bad things he did as […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Unbelievable Statistic That Haunts the U.S. Senate

on April 1st, 2012 at 1:15 am

The United States Senate has been called the most exclusive club in the world. More than any office, it epitomizes the American political system. Senators serve for six years and they have become a power unto themselves. Once devoid of minorities and women, the U.S. Senate remains that way in almost half the states in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
