A Tale Of Two Martyrs
On the one hand you have Mr. Osama bin Laden. You probably know the scoop on him. If you’ve ever read his fatwa then you really the details on his cause. If you haven’t read it before, you probably should (link). I should read it again now that he is in fact a martyr for […]

There’s No Bias In The Media! -wink wink-
Oh, John Edwards. Surprise, it all happened to be true! You’ve even been charged with crimes, how true does that make it? But wait, it really wasn’t a surprise, was it? The whole time you built up your run for the presidency the media completely sat on this story that they knew to be true. […]

Stacking It Up – Update
Well, Mr. Obama, it looks like you’re going to have some real ‘splainin’ to do. Unemployment did in fact go up, up to 9.1. Yikes. Sucks for you. Maybe. Not really, I guess. You know that crunch time draws near. By the first of the year you want us out of Iraq. So, if we […]

Cherub Rock You Rock Me
I can’t help it. No matter how crappy I may feel, Smashing Pumpkins’ “Cherub Rock” always lifts my spirits. I don’t even know the words really, it’s just the tune. Do you have a song that does that for you? I hope so. If not, get out there and find one.

Stacking It Up
So, we just had the worst day of the year for stocks (down 280 points). Home prices have reached their lowest level since that bubble burst. Unemployment is 8.7 unless it goes up even further in two days. Gas is still leaning toward $4/gallon. We’re still fighting three wars. I hate to say it but […]

It’s Time To Bring Them Home
OBL is gone. Let’s get our people out of Afghanistan. I’m calling the media out on this one. They need to bring the war’s end to the forefront. There is no reason for one more American life to be lost in this war. There is no reason for any more American blood, sweat or tears […]

Chump Change
Another bullet point in the list of things that haven’t changed. Mr. Obama has taken us to war. Not only that, but it’s our third concurrent war and we’ve entered it for ambiguous reasons. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not against war. I wasn’t against Iraq or Afghanistan, it was explained to us why […]

More Gaseous Expulsion
Seems there is so much to this topic, so I’m blowing some more. Now there’s supposed talk of tapping the strategic oil reserves. There was talk of this the last time gas was hovering around $4 per gallon. Who are the boneheads who even consider this? Try and keep in mind what this reserve is […]

The Great Ex-change Rolls On
I’ll bet the sound of the crickets is all we’ll hear. Mr. Obama just reinstated military commissions for prosecuting Gitmo prisoners. So much for closing Gitmo. Man, what’s happened to all those promises? Sure hope that all those people who believed in all his change will hold him accountable. How much more non-change or change-for-the-worse […]

Gasoholics
Oh, you whiny people. Here we go again. All these people complaining about the price of gas. Funny how so many of the people they interview in the news articles are driving a brand new SUV or full size pickup. What did you expect, to not pay $80 to fill up your tank at some […]
