How You Like Me Now?

What I promised you: But… Cronyism… intact Wall Street payoffs… still being paid in full Big Oil running the show… the show must go on (now with manslaughter and animal cruelty!) The war in Iraq… still fighting Warrantless wiretapping… still tap dancing away Transparency… opaque Blackwater getting government work… no unemployment there Unemployment capped at […]

Poli-seer Prediction For Obama’s BP Press Conference

Let’s see how off I am regarding what PrezBO is going to tell us tonight: He will tell us what he thinks we want to hear.  For example, “bad BP,” “BP, you’re going to pay,” and “I’ve been on top of this.”  All of which is lip service.  He has done well at telling people […]

My Privacy Policy

Just kidding.  I don’t have one.  I don’t take any info from you so you have nothing to be concerned with.  Those companies you do give your info to… eh, different story. I hereby put forth the notion that we should have a law which mandates that the wording “privacy policy” no longer be allowed […]

Hope Lives On?

Unemployment is still in the upper 9% range.  Foreclosures are up 35% from last year.  Obama’s foreclosure assistance program has only helped about 6% of the applicants.  And yet, look who made these profits in 2009: Goldman Sachs $13.9 billion Wells Fargo $12.3 billion J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. $11.7 billion The American people bailed […]

Hmmm… So What’s Next On The Docket?

I am placing my bets on “Immigration Reform.”  Which of course is just double-speak for what it really is.  I think it’s too much of a coincidence that the media is starting to focus on stories about our problems at the border.  Don’t get me wrong, we do have problems.  We have had problems for […]

It’s Brewing

Evan Bayh calls it quits as Senator because he’s tired of what’s going on and he knows it’s not serving the people well.  I believe that he’s being honest with us also.  Here you have a guy that most certainly would have had no problem keeping his job and yet he decides forget this Washington […]

Trains To Nowhere

Disclaimer: I am a middle-class dumbass from the midwest! So why is it that even I can predict the future result of our high speed train projects that will be funded by stimulus money?  As usual the government has it all wrong. Argument one.  These trains are for people?  Are you kidding me? Do they […]

Happy Anniversary, Mr. Obama

Scott Brown has blown out your candles.  With both houses on your side, you have got nothing done in your first year!  This all means one thing, the people do not want what you are forcing upon them. It is time to put an end to the frivolous spending, the ramrod politics and your apparent […]

The Audacity Of Hope, The Reality Of Despair

CNN reports that Americans are less hopeful going into 2010 than going into 2000 (link to article below).  Then 85%, now 69%.  Mr. Obama – Mr. Hope – where is your fix?  The banks are almost all giving out their gigantic bonuses – but what about the common man, what about your mandate?  How can […]

Stickin’ It To Ya

The rest of America is going to be paying for any future Nebraskan that goes on Medicaid, from now until the end of time.  How, oh how, do we get stuck with this?  This garbage is so dirty, these sellouts so shallow.  There’s at least one part of my tax increase.  Louisiana is of course […]
