Who needs a raise?

It was a shock to very few I am sure that the commission appointed by Sarah Palin found that the Alaska Governor “deserves” a $25,000 raise. It was a bit more surprising however that Palin didn’t seek, doesn’t want pay raise. At least it seems that way on the surface, until you read spokesperson Bill [...]

DUCK!

Clearly, “being greeted as liberators” is far different than they expected to be. At least it is different than I expected. First they trashed a poster of Bush with a shoe back a month or so ago, and now they tried to do the same in person. I don’t think the term “winning” means what [...]

I told you so

OK, fine so most of the three readers I have on this blog have already known this and like me have been saying it for quite some time, it is now official that the United States is in a recession, and has been for about a year now. I normally like to try and stay [...]

OK, can we put this to bed now?

Finally, the Hillary nomination is complete. I realize that this is only the beginning for the nuts on Faux News who have been waiting for this to be the rallying point du jour, but can the rest of us please just move on? It is tiring already to hear about how Obama was critical of [...]

Detroit Pointers

I was stuck on a business trip to Atlantic City yesterday (no… seriously), but fortunately that just provided me with time to find those a bit (ok, a lot) more articulate than to support some of the things that I have been trying to say over the past 3 weeks, and round them up. Eric [...]

Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up?

So who is the real Mitt Romney? The one that said while running for president: “I want to bring Michigan back,” said Mitt Romney. “I am not willing to sit back and say ‘too bad for Michigan, too bad for the car industry, too bad for the people who lost their jobs, they are gone [...]

All the wrong reasons

Look, I understand that government bailouts are not very popular. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants to finance private business, and that is all well and good, but there is no arguing that there are definitely times (like now) that it needs to be considered. What is troubling, is not that people are trying to [...]

No mortgage help from Al-Qaeda

If you listened to John McCain, Sarah Palin, Joe Lieberman or any of the crazed wingnuts during the election, you would have thought that Osama Bin Laden and the rest of al-Qaida would have been buying townhouses in suburban Washington once Obama won the election. It was going to be all love and admiration with [...]

Washington Dana

Back in the early days of the Iraqi war, we were treated to what sounded like a silly joke daily by Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, or as he was come to be known “Bagdad Bob.” The Iraqi Information Minister, would on an almost daily basis provide a quote or a statement on behalf of the Iraqi [...]

Bush thinks he can attach signing statements to Iraqis

I had been wondering when anybody of the “deadlines for withdrawal = defeat” rhetoric was going to start acknowledging the agreement that the White House and the Iraqi government was working on. Certainly, I understand it didn’t work with their election plans, so they needed to keep it quiet then, but now that it has [...]
