If the Dust Settles

Posted on March 24th, 2010

During my recent interview with Ari David, he mentioned that he perceived his generation as ‘Reagan / South Park Conservatives’.  It is with this reference in mind, that I make this point. During South Park Episode 1205, a sub-plot saw the character ‘Cartman’ poses as a Latino high school teacher named “Mr. Cartmenez” at a under-preforming urban high school. [...]

Did the California Blue Dogs Sell Their Vote for Water?

Posted on March 18th, 2010

When commenting on the Delta Smelt/Central California Water Crisis, it was comedian Paul Rodriguez who noted, “Fish Don’t Vote“.  That statement has remained true, just until recently when ‘Obamacare’ needed the votes.  The National Republican Congressional Committee, have issued a statement that heavily implies, this little fishy voted twice by proxy through California Blue Dog [...]

Does Obamacare Still Need Life Support?

Posted on March 10th, 2010

When I think of how ‘Obamacare’ has dragged on, I can’t help but compare it to Roman times.  If ‘Obamacare’ was fighting with gladiators, it would’ve been on the ground begging for mercy.  The Coliseum attendees would’ve given the verdict thumbs down, and ‘Obamacare’ would be a distance memory.  A majority of the American public are [...]

Judgegate? Mathesongate?

Posted on March 4th, 2010

Talk about speculation gone rampant over the Matheson issue.  Even Media Matters, all round left wing apologist site has come defending Obama over the Scott Matheson decision.  Rep. Jim Matheson has even issued a press release attacking the Weekly Standard story as ‘Rubbish’.  After viewing the reaction over this subject, the Republicans can now give the Louisiana Purchase a rest and exploit Judgegate for the [...]

Posted on February 17th, 2010
