December 18th, 2009 · 21 Comments
For those of you just stopping by, I’ll mention this blog goes dormant on January 12. There are a few things to get to before that day! One is a few predictions. I won’t be online when it all comes to pass, but I thought I’d give it a go anyway.

Shark jumpers for the week of November 22
November 28th, 2009 · 4 Comments
Well, we have our party crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi. I’d say their public career is going the way of balloon boy’s family attempt for the starlight.
Next there’s the obvious – Tiger Woods. We’ll call him the fire hydrant and tree crasher to stick to our theme. No way that story won’t be making waves [...]

It’s a good night for Republicans
November 3rd, 2009 · 5 Comments
New Jersey and Virginia have elected Republican governors in spite of the White House’s push to campaign in those states. (Oh yes, he did. He’ll be distancing himself very quickly, but he made a constant effort to keep those states on the Democrat’s tally sheet.) The 23rd district race in New York doesn’t look too [...]
Birds of a Feather II

Birds of a Feather I
Certainly Anita Dunn’s comments that Chairman Mao “is one of my favorite philosophers” was an anomaly and we shouldn’t have any concerns. Van Jones and Kevin Jennings past lives should have no bearing on who they are now just as President Obama’s many associations with shady characters and felons will not [...]

So Rush Limbaugh didn’t get what he wanted…
October 15th, 2009 · 3 Comments
He’s a big boy. He’ll live through it.
Is this mess really any of our business? Not to me. I don’t like football and I don’t like Limbaugh, so it isn’t causing me any harm.
I’ve heard lots of things, but my conclusion? This wasn’t about racism – it was about Rush Limbaugh. The brand he’s made [...]

Tort reform would reduce deficit by $54 billion over 10 years
October 9th, 2009 · 11 Comments
That’s the finding of the Congressional Budget Office in work requested by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).
Tort reform is currently being ignored in the health care insurance reform debate being led by Democrats.
Here’s the CBO letter to Hatch. Here’s Hatch’s press release on the issue.
For comparison, the Baucus mark in the Senate was estimated to [...]

RIP Saturn. It was good while it lasted.
September 30th, 2009 · Comments Off
Saturn’s deal to sell off to Penske has fallen through. GM now says they will simply shut the company down.
Remember, it’s the President’s boy, Fritz Henderson, at the helm of GM since Rick Wagoner was fired. I met a guy who said he knows Fritz, and that Fritz is a good guy. He’ll always do [...]
