Breaking: David Souter to Retire from SCOTUS
Just across on NPR. NPR has learned that Supreme Court Justice David Souter is planning to retire at the end of the current court term. The vacancy will give President Obama his first chance to name a member of the high court and begin to shape its future direction. At 69, Souter is nowhere near [...]
Moronic: ABC News Outs Architects of CIA Interrogations
30. April 2009
And the purpose of this was…what? Besides helping Democrats in their “torture” probe and appeasing the American Civil Liberties Union, of course. Not only does the report name names but it shows the faces of the two individuals the government hired and authorized to design and oversee the interrogations. Absolutely moronic. According to current and [...]
Gates: Bombing Iran Won’t Stop Its Nuclear Program
30. April 2009
And the purpose of telling Iran that it faces no threat of military action against it accomplishes…what? What do we gain by announcing to Iran that, no matter how far it goes, we won’t even think about using our military power against it? Gates told a Senate panel that a military option would only delay [...]
CNN Simply Eats Up Obama’s “150,000 Jobs” Claim
30. April 2009
As if the Congressional Budget Office and God himself came out and certified the claim. I’d play “Imagine if Bush Made the Same Claim”, but that schtick is getting old. Anyway, absolutely no skepticism or demand for evidence: WASHINGTON (CNNMoney.com) — In a prime-time news conference on Wednesday night, President Obama touted his efforts to [...]
New House GOP ad and the politics of fear
30. April 2009
Republicans in the House of Representatives released a new advertisement today, in which they went after President Obama on the national security/foreign policy front. You can see the video over at Hot Air. The Politico is shocked — shocked — that the GOP would dare to remind people what insufficient efforts in the war on [...]
Joe Biden Comforts Nation: Avoid Confined Spaces, Classrooms
30. April 2009
Why the White House has yet to tape this man’s mouth closed is beyond me. I understand that you can’t just appease the nation at the expense of preparing it, but telling people to avoid subways, planes, and schools when we won’t even close the border sounds absurd. (If you can’t watch the video, here’s [...]
Obama Claims He’s Already Saved Jobs
30. April 2009
Give the man credit: As hundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs and other are unable to pay their bills, it takes gnads the size of beachballs to make the claim that you’ve saved jobs — without any supporting data. This budget builds on the steps we’ve taken over the last 100 days [...]
Does Anyone In the White House Have Google?
30. April 2009
I thought it was a little ironic that Barack Obama would quote Winston Churchill in a positive light last evening, seeing as he recently removed a bust of the Prime Minister from his office reportedly due to Churchill’s treatment of his grandfather in Kenya. But I guess you’ll use whatever comes along in an attempt [...]
AP Analysis: Obama Misleading Public About Role in Deficit Creation
29. April 2009
Translation: He’s lying to the public through his teeth. The whole “I’m not responsible for that deficit” excuse doesn’t fly when you’re in the party controlling Congress for the past two years and actively supported massive spending measures by the Bush Administration. WASHINGTON (AP) – “That wasn’t me,” President Barack Obama said on his 100th [...]
People Magazine Finally Jumps the Shark
29. April 2009
Partisan shill isn’t quite the term to describe it, though. I think it takes a bit more than regular shilling to come to this conclusion. Guess who made People’s 100 most beautiful list: Michelle Obama, who has achieved celebrity status and has wowed the world as a fashion icon, made the list for the first [...]
