Yesterday President Obama went to Norway to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize. He spent 26 hours there, long line I guess, these days they seem giving them out to everybody. He get’s to Norway and prepares to deliver his acceptance speech.
What will he talk about? Well it is the Nobel Peace Prize, so [...]
The newest “scandal” involves Sarah Palin. This week Newsweek is releasing a cover that includes a picture of Sarah Palin. Before I show you the image I want to warn you of the sexist imagery. Palin did pose for this picture and it was supposedly for a magazine. One source says Runner’s World Magazine. To [...]

Thomas Sowell of the Creators Syndicate wants Rush Limbaugh to sue somebody. He is quickly becoming my favorite columnist.
Apparently when the Winkest Link honored Sowell with the prestigious “Bonehead Du Jour” Award (Feb 19, 2009) he became obsessed with trying to be the first two-time winner.
Now he is saddened because he feels Rush Limbaugh [...]

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 [...]

The conspiracy nuts are always with us…
JFK had multiple killers. The moon landing was faked. Israel crashed those jets into the twin towers. The Holocaust didn’t happen. On and on they go.
I don’t really understand the pathetic people who continue to push these conspiracies, except for those whose sole desire is to sell books.( [...]

How much influence does the Surgeon General of the U.S. have? Precious little, I think. It always seemed to me more ceremonial than functional. I imagine seeing the budget for this position would make me cry.
I guess being a ‘spokesman’ is a job. Previous ones have spoken out against smoking and in favor of [...]

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Defense Department is going to release photos showing alleged abuse of prisoners in detention facilities in Afghanistan and Iraq.
On the web site of the National Review, Andrew McCarthy, apparently a master of hyperbole, wrote “American soldiers, American civilians, and other innocent people are going [...]

As you would guess, on-line polls are not exactly random, and are almost as unscientific as is possible.
A recent MSNBC poll was taken to rate President Obama. This poll was pretty straight-forward: How do you think Obama did in his first 100 days? The only options were letter grades A, B, C, D [...]
