The (O) Ring »

You can’t kill me!   I’m just a kid!
Have you ever heard a gunshot ring throughout a neighborhood street? Have you ever heard church bells ring in the mourning of a soul who was lost by that bullet? Has anything ever rung true to you that you assume most people don’t get?

a little reality check for the reality checkers… »

I stumbled upon the latest Reality Check brought to you by WhiteHouse.gov. Apparently the Obama administration is still obsessing over FOX news, this time targeting Glenn Beck. They took Beck to task, providing the “REALITY” to his “RHETORIC”. I provide the *ACTUAL REALITY*.
What topic do they take issue with? His comments on Afghanistan? Health Care? [...]

The Young Turk Asks: Has Obama Sold Out? »

Yes, yes he has. Here’s the video of TYT pondering this question in light of the recent “revelations” of Obama’s duplicity:

It’s All About The Connections »

One might think that as a minister type, I am talking about how connected we all are, one to another, all over the world. Well, okay, there is this, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part,” one of the Seven Principles and Purposes of the UUA, to [...]

The Four Horsemen of the Chicago Way »

Chicago Magazine published a story today about interconnections among four “leading players in the Illinois Democratic Party.” Who? Rod Blagojevich, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and Barack Obama. It suggests relationships among the four men are closer than any is likely to admit. Although written as a primer on the Chicago [...]

I Govern As I Have Lived »

Which is to say irresponsibly.
Some people think that the personal lives of politicians do not matter - that if they can discharge their duties satisfactorily while in office, then “trifling” matters in their private lives are of little account.
Wrong.
Insights into the hidden lives of politicians give the electorate a far more accurate impression of the [...]

suggested auction items for “stingy” obama’s »

(Bumped up from Tuesday. - Editor)
After reading this article, Obamas prove stingy with school auction by Courtney Hazlett, I thought I would suggest some items the Obama’s might donate next year. I’m sure they don’t want to be labeled stingy two years in a row.
When Chelsea Clinton was a student at the Sidwell Friends [...]

The First One Hundred Days »

Is that all? Sigh - it seems like this has been going on forever. Maybe it’s just the MSM’s continued fawning over Obama, like yelling to the rafters what a HIGH poll number he has. Okay, it is more than half, but they are going this nuts over 56%? Seriously??? [...]

The Skill Set of “The One” »

(bumped up from earlier today)
Aside from a few months in Springfield, Illinois, and a fly-over of the U.S. Senate, our president has zero skills to bring to the fore in handling the incredibly complex crises, national and global, that this nation faces. Such lack of experience AND knowledge requires that he return to the only [...]

Wither Goest Your Sex Fantasies? * Open Thread »

No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

[Update x3] Is Judd Gregg Really What the Democrats Want? »

Bumped up from early morning, with these additional thoughts:
UPDATE #3 (uh, did Obama know this when he decided on Gregg?): “Gregg Voted to Kill Commerce Before He Agreed to Lead It”, CQ Politics, February 2, 2009:

Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Daschle [Mon. a.m. Breaking News] »

(bumped up from Sunday . for some reason, the phrase, “It’s the cover-up …” keeps running through my mind, especially since Daschle knew about these tax problems clear back in June but failed to disclose them.

You Can’t Get it Back, Keith »

Keith Olbermann was in friendly territory at some NYT -ponsored shmooze fest. C-SPAN has the video, but we’ve got a clip. Clearly, Olbermann tries to soft-pedal the edges of his anything-but-objective “coverage” during the Presidential primaries and through the GE. Typically, people tend to play down their behavior when they are [...]

Getting a Handle on Hate [UPDATE] »

I realize that some of the regulars at No Quarter hate Barack Obama. That’s your choice but I think you are being foolish and churlish. Barack Obama appears to be a decent person with generally good intentions. It is not his fault that his mother and father were two dingbats. It [...]

cha-cha-cha-chaaaaaaange. change of fools? »

The people wanted Change! Change! Change! It’s been a banner year for the Democrats! Change is a coming! But, looking back over the past year, I really have to ask, what kind of change did the people want? What kind of change did the voters think they were getting? And *change* from what, exactly?
What we [...]

Obama Invokes Jay-Z: “Stab the Ladies…Middle Finga To The Law” »

This highly memorable post appeared during the primary, but it is great to remember how things went down, isn’t it? And all those sexist battles we had to wage, while the heads of the Democratic party and Obama himself remained silent? - Re-posted by Administrator LisaB

They all do it. Lame duck Presidents cramming through their own agendas at the last minute before leaving office.
