I’m a huge fan of Don Imus. He embodies all things curmudgeon (and since I’ve begun to become one, I must have a hero). In any case, it was suggested earlier in the week on his program (syndicated nationally and heard on the radio at WFAN as well seen via simulcast on msNBC) […]

Former congressional candidate and Conman Kucinich opponent Mike Dovilla was deployed to the Iraqi military theater in early January. Since that time Lieutenant Dovilla has been compiling his thoughts in a blog that is now available through a Cleveland.com feed. Check out what’s really happening in Iraq through Mike’s eyes here.
If you are interested in […]

Did anybody really believe that the Democrats in Congress would not set an arbitrary deadline for troop withdrawal in Iraq?
It will be interesting to which of the presidential candidates (with the exception of the whackos) will get on board with this measure (at least publicly).

Follow the clues:

Arizona Senator John McCain refuses to distance himself from the Bush Administration and becomes the president’s staunchest ally in the senate for the war in Iraq
Vice President Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff Scooter Libby is indicted for lying to the grand jury about his conduct in the CIA leak case and the outing […]

It’s Friday and we’ve got a sick kid at home. Word to the wise, if your kid (our daughter Paige is 4) goes to the doctor for their regular check-up and innoculations, plan on them being home for the next few days. Sometimes they have no reaction, sometimes they do… this time Paige is having […]

Last night Al Gore took his next step toward a candidacy for president in 2008 - he won an Oscar. In winning the award for best documentary film - “An Inconvenient Truth”, Gore was gracious in his remarks, humorous in his conduct and above all, he was not Hillary or Obama. In a time when […]

You’ve got to love living in the NRZ (No Representation Zone). If we can’t get decent representation in Congress at least our proxies can add some levity to the political discourse - and that’s been the mantra for the people of Ohio’s 10th Congressional House district since long before conman Dennis Kucinich assumed the […]

I posted (somewhat tongue in cheek) earlier this week about the difficulty Hillary Clinton is having among Democrats for her (former?) support of the war in Iraq.  The conventional rationale is that she will continue to distance herself from her vote to give the president the authority to use force in Iraq and ultimately make some kind […]

with apologies to Elton John and Bernie Taupin, but at least I didn’t include audio of Hillary Clinton (or myself singing this…) 
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you’re not there What […]

What’s with the recent uproar about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desire to fly non-stop from Washington DC to San Francisco?  As is typical of the folks we pay in the nation’s capitol to do the people’s business, they’re hung up on issues that they’ve made worse through the attention they’ve drawn to the matter.
A little background […]
