By Wink Dinking around, delaying raising the debt ceiling, has cost us money. The U.S. taxpayer is now on the hook for $1.7 billion that we never would have owed had we simply acted more timely to do something we were going to do anyway…. I told you so. Economists told you so. This [...]
By Wink The GOP talking point to regain the House in 2010 was the following mantra: “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.” Nothing else…just ‘jobs.’ It worked fabulously. They took complete control of the House and narrowed their deficit in the Senate. What have their objectives been SINCE the election? Embarrass President Obama. Protect the extremely wealthy [...]
By Wink Republicans refused to provide additional health benefits for 9-11 responders. The above statement is not made up, is not from ‘The Onion’. What guiding principle would cause the GOP to delay any sort of aid for 9-11 responders? Let say it all together now…… “Tax Cuts for the wealthy!” For years you have [...]
by Wink Virginia Thomas might be willing to forgive Anita Hill if she apologizes to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for what ‘she did’ to him. Mrs. Thomas’ message, left on Miss Hill’s answering machine, said “I would love you to consider an apology some time and some full explanation of why you did what [...]
By Wink News is breaking that Al and Tipper Gore are separating. The reasons have not yet been divulged and, frankly, I hope they never are. The private lives of public figures should be private. This is sad It is not sad because he is a public figure. It is not sad because he is [...]
By Wink White House Communication Director Anita Dunn will be leaving her post soon. She is best-known for saying that Fox News was acting as an arm of the Republican Party. In spite of (or perhaps as proof of) the obviousness of that comment, the collection of Fox commentators ripped into her for those sentiments. [...]
By Wink Gun people are totally smitten with the Second Amendment. What is this passion for guns? I won’t even argue with them. We have the right to bear arms. I don’t hunt, but I don’t object to hunting. And if you are going to hunt, I would prefer you use a gun over, say, [...]
By Ike There is a local gentleman, whom I know very well, who is totally ticked off, and is now organizing people to rally against “socialized health care.” Do you know the punch line to this? C’mon, you know where I am going, right? He has both Medicare and Medicaid. Right, BOTH are government health [...]
By Kasson The state legislature of Massachusetts is working on a bill to allow the Governor to appoint an interim Senator so that their state is fully represented in congress until the special election takes place on January 19, 2010. This bill was one of Ted Kennedy’s final wishes. It seems logical that the state [...]
By Wink Sometimes I am really naïve. I thought my July 22 article about Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship would not be controversial. Let me synopsize: 1) Obama is a U.S. citizen 2) Anyone who says he isn’t is an idiot Some of the responses were fun, but not Matt’s. Matt is a very serious person, [...]
