"Gov. Palin – Who are you wearing???"

Much ado about the Palin wardrobe brouhaha. 
Is this worth the time the MSM is spending on it?  Only insofar as it allows them to pile on once again.
Here’s my opinion.  Sarah Palin is a governor of a remote (geographically speaking) state.  Her wardrobe is sufficient for the type of business she does in Alaska, [...]

Truth about taxes…room for the middle class at the poor house

From the New York Post today OBAMA TELLS THE TAX TRUTH (below):
Original source story here.  Emphasis in red is mine.
By the way, as regards the checks from Washington sited below – where I live, that’s called welfare.  I am insulted to think that anyone wants to suggest I can’t make it without government welfare.  I [...]

Yellow Journalism – who can you trust?

The lowest form of popular culture – lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives – has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
Carl Bernstein
From Wikipedia: Yellow journalism is journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell [...]

Don’t be so selfish…it’s good for everybody – Obama-isms

How much clearer does Obama need to be on his socialist agenda?  He keeps putting it right out there, media does their best to ignore it/edit it and if ever it’s brought up as a legitimate concern, Obama says 1) he didn’t say it or 2) it was misinterpreted.
Here’s the latest evidence that we are [...]

Who’s calling who ‘white trash’?

The tone of presidential campaigns have been getting more and more vile over the years.  It’s unfortunate that the American people cannot get honest debate and actual answers to their questions so that they may make an informed decision.  Instead, we get nasty rhetoric, candidate that ‘pivot’ depending on their audience and special interest groups [...]

The alternate reality of Iraq

I’m sick and tired of the portrayal of our servicemen and women as being some sort of barbaric, blood-thirsty thugs. I’m sick and tired of the portrait being painted of the Iraq mission as being an invasion, occupation, a war for oil, etc., etc.
I’m not simple enough to think I can do much, but [...]

Winter Soldier?

This image is making the rounds on the blogosphere today.  And rightly so.
Powerline and Hottalk have the story and quotes from a soldier in Iraq.
Here’s the accompanying photo.

Perhaps the “blame American first”, “we can’t win”, “pull out the troops” crowd will understand the plain message of this photo, even though there is no “nuance” involved.
God [...]

Irrational Hysteria – brought to you by the fourth estate

I doubt this will get much coverage, which is really sad.  I wonder if the bigger question is why the media and their minions persist in doing this.  The statement below that the coverage of global warming has created a bias that has become an “irrational
hysteria” is right. 
If it’s been proven or even suggested [...]

Bush is back!

I’ve been a little disappointed in President Bush lately, I don’t mind telling you.  I think he’s most effective when he is laying things on the line with the press, the politicians and the American people.  He’s been unwilling to do that for a long while now.  As a result, I think that things have [...]

Long lines at airports, no liquids & lotions on flights

How many news breaks did you see today where a lot of time was spent on this kind of tripe?
MSM – get in the game!  There is a bigger story here.  What could have happened.  The fact that some islamo-facists were planning this.  The fact they are planning more of these types of attacks.
Can we [...]
