No two people represent the preening, whining celebrity culture of our politics more than Mr. Obama and Mrs. Palin. After Speaker Boehner stiff-armed Pres. Obama, I was waiting for this predictable storyline to surface. It’s fitting it comes from Roger Simon. Who cares? The White House cares. Very much. [...] Yet the White House did [...]

Can New Hampshire Save America?
Many say 2012 could be another 1964, with Republicans nominating a crazy person like Perry, but I’m not so sure. Of course, if Sarah Palin gets in, which I still doubt (she’s got her big fat contract with Fox), that’s exactly what it will turn out to be. With the issues facing our country so [...]
What’s on your mind?
I’m with Mr. Budowsky on Rick Perry and said so today on Twitter: When do we start the implosion countdown? It might take longer than 30 days, but I believe it’s coming. As for the Ron Paul video, I always find it interesting when guys like Mr. Paul highlight “restore liberty,” while they believe women [...]
What Happens if Ron Paul Wins the Ames Straw Poll?
Mitt Romney will breathe a sigh of relief, though Politico thinks he’s got to reach the McCain bar. Michele Bachmann better come in second. Tim Pawlenty is toast unless he comes in second, and Newt keeps trying to pay off his debt. As for Rick Perry, he continues to act like Iowa doesn’t matter, while [...]
House Republicans Remove Any Doubt They’re Sane
Cut, cap and… baloney passed. Shocker, the Tea Party crazies are running the congressional asylum. Passing anything that has no chance of getting through the Senate, let alone a veto by Pres. Obama, is such a waste of energy. Watching some of Cantor’s bloviating on the House floor makes me wonder what’s wrong with some [...]
Ron Paul
**UPDATED BELOW** Mr. Paul will not be back to Congress after his last presidential run. His brand of courage on our foreign interventionism has always been refreshing, even if he’s wrong on many other matters. Particularly, I always find it odd that these freedom fanatics think this is something that’s not for women. Love him [...]
Romney Remains the One to Beat, Bachmann a Distant Second
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney raised $18.25 million over the past three months, a sum likely to put him head and shoulders above his rivals for the 2012 Republican nomination in the dash for cash. Romney’s fundraising dwarfs that of his Republican opponents. Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) raised $4.5 million between April 1 and June [...]
Comes a Worrisome ‘Gentleman’ Candidate
If anything, it’s McCain and Graham who are nurturing a rebirth of isolationism by going for the easy insult. Isolationism is an actual doctrine, with a rich and complicated intellectual history on the left and the right. It is not an adjective that can be accurately applied to anyone who disagrees with a specific course [...]

Trump Leads, Labor Leaders Blast Dems
“… But [it] creates, I think a problem for them when they want to actually run in a general election where most people feel pretty confident the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. He– he doesn’t have horns…we’re not really worrying about conspiracy theories or– or birth certificates…” – Pres. Barack [...]
Arafat’s Ghost
From Foreign Policy’s Colum Lynch on “Turtle Bay”: The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body “does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,” a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the [...]
Paul Wins CPAC (again), So What?
Rep. Ron Paul ended up the darling of CPAC with 30% of the vote, Romney getting 23%. Ann Coulter decided to weigh in and actually delivered some sense. From The Hill: Asked in a Q&A session after a bombastic speech at CPAC what she thought of the 2012 field of hopefuls, Coulter initially hesitated, but [...]
Tea Party Exposed: Ron Paul Says Abolish Medicare, Ken Buck Blames Rape Victim
“…and help these people who are dependent on the government. I think it’s wrong to be dependent, and you’re right it shouldn’t happen. We should work for the day when these individuals can take care of themselves once again, be self-reliant.” – Rep. Ron Paul After Paul’s “self-reliant” rant, Lawrence O’Donnell pounced: “…That’s just code [...]
