At least that’s what our elected representatives in the House were saying yesterday as they allowed their annual cost of living increase to quietly pass through the dark of the night with a parliamentary move that allowed them to block having to actually vote on the increase.
I only need to imagine the conversation spreading yesterday through Congress’ […]
I got home from work late today so my exposure to the guy I love to villify Chris Matthews and his msNBC program Hardball came during its later run in the 7 pm hour. What I was treated to was nothing less than the second act of an obvious calculated sympathy grab on the part of the John Edwards […]
My wife and I have running disagreement on the U.S. involvement in Iraq. From day one she’s been against it and refused to support it, I was against our reasons for going, but supported the action (and the responsibilities associated with that decision) until my statement yesterday that it was time to go.
My decision […]
Well the emails are already starting to roll in from the folks who think I was being unfair to Elizabeth Edwards in characterizing yesterday’s Hardball estrogen-laced verbal arm wrestling match with Ann Coulter as a stunt.
Here’s my favorite from 3:56 this morning:
How dare you question Elizabeth’s reasons for calling the Hardball program yesterday? Any mother in […]
Ann Coulter’s blithering statements designed to get attention, or Elizabeth Edwards calling Hardball to “politely ask” Coulter to stop making the statements?
I had a lot of respect for Elizabeth Edwards. I never had respect for Ann Coulter…
…now they’re in the same league.
Oh pity the poor Ohio legislature sweating their buns off, working late into the night enduring the mid-Ohio heat of Columbus in June. I wonder if Bill Harris and Jon Husted are lamenting their decisions to focus valuable time and energy during the cooler months pandering to their special interest supporters by ram-rodding […]
From the first day of the war, I was skeptical about our reasons for invading Iraq. Having said that, I fully supported the president and our military in the operation to remove Saddam Hussein and bring democracy to the Iraqi people. Since that time I have been a consistent proponent of our country’s activities in the […]
This morning as I was wandering to the kitchen for my 4th (or was it 5th?) cup of coffee I happened to catch former Virginia governor and current GOP presidential candidate Jim Gilmore on msNBC’s “Morning Joe” (the temporary Full Time replacement for Imus).
Pinch hitting for host Joe Scarborough was newsreader Mika Brezinski (the daughter […]
I got a notice in the mail today from the Republican National Committee indicating that my my commitment of financial support was “Past Due”. I don’t remember ever making that commitment, and I find it a little offensive that ol’ Mike would presume it okay to send me a bill marked past due, when […]
Living in the state of perennially late to decide on pressing issues Senator George Voinovich (at right about 15 years ago), I’ve made more than my fair share of phone calls to his Hart Senate Office in hope of swaying his decisions. I’ve seldom succeeded - the only common ground I seem to find […]
