Libs like to look at a world where all poor people are good and all rich people are evil. Oddly un-nuanced for such a progressive lot. The reality is there are multiple kinds of poor people, including ones who will remain poor because they don’t care and live a life of crime and drugs, no [...]
The unpredictable, gun totin’ cowboy – I saw the same thing as Obama recently expressed in an interview – that caused the media and Will Ferrell to go bazonkers during the prior 8 years. Updated – This clip has now been Auto-tuned. Heh. Fair enough, but a) would they give Obama the same treatment and [...]

Another Chris Christie video?? Yup. I need to get over this guy. Nope. You recall the millions who saw in Obama a change from the entrenched, self-serving mob-style politics of the past. I was in that group, I just knew Obama wasn’t going to be any different. Going up against the establishment to do what’s [...]
Obligatory NJ Gov. Chris Christie quote of the day (if he speaks, it’s probably the best thing I’ve heard all day, sorry.) via HotAir.com on Newark, NJ’s disgraceful failure in public education and the way out. ————– “To that end, we’re supposed to be adversaries, not co-conspirators, partners, favored “stakeholders,” or beneficiaries. That’s why the [...]

Without even looking at the polls (lowest approvals to date if you did need to look) you can pretty much figure where Obama stands when Jon Stewart takes a knockout punch. “We had underwater robots with diamond saws, and we tried that sixth!?” The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c [...]
Updated: I feel dumb saying the White House offered someone a job in return for dropping out of a race. It was actually 3 jobs (Politico). Whether it’s re-imagining 70′s TV shows and movies, America in 2010 loves a good remake (or a bad one). And the Obama administration delivers. The self-proclaimed “most ethical” and [...]
Watching him never really gets old to me. Like a shiny object in a sea of gray colored two-faced politicians. It’s weird seeing a government employee (who makes 85k per year allegedly – see link above) getting told the same thing the private sector gets told. Update: Oh yeah, and this. NJ Budget Freeze Worked, [...]
A lot of utter nonsense all over the place on both sides, hand wringing, feigned outrage, political posturing (since it’s popular with 70% of citizens a lot of bandwagon jumpers). But not a whole lot of discussion that makes any logical sense. But then I saw this. It deals with Mexico’s president, who came here [...]
..besides Brad Pitt. Of all the reasons Obama has disappointed me, the main one is that he’d change the tone in Washington and be straight with the people and have an “open” administration. Even if I disagree with someone’s policies, I respect those who are consistent and say what they mean and don’t pander. And [...]
Was a bit surprised by this piece over in the Sun in the UK…Simon Cowell steps out behind the judging table and dishes on the choice for Prime Minister of Britain. The irony that our political elections have become something of an American Idol themselves isn’t lost on me. But what he says surprised me. [...]
