Andrew Breitbart’s own secret video has now been released and it’s a doozy.  No, it’s not about fake pimps and hookers and ACORN.  It’s not about Breitbart revealing his motives for the hit job on Shirley Sherrod.  It’s much worse than that. The Republican Party is having fits right now, as this video has emerged right when Michael Steele has Breitbart headlining for the Republican National Committee’s “Election Countdown”.  This is just another embarrassment...

For those of you old enough to remember the film, “Top Gun”, there is a point in the film where Tom Cruise, playing the part of “Maverick”, has lost his good buddy “Goose” in an accident for which he blamed himself.  A once sure, cocky, guy who felt that he could do no wrong, and was up to any challenge, lost his confidence. When engaged in a dogfight with Russian MiG’s, Cruise found himself seriously outgunned and outnumbered.  However, he and the other Top Gun pilots had received training...

We all heard that Obama said that even his Administration was guilty of being “too cozy” with the oil superpowers that were supposed to be regulated by the U.S. government, not coddled and fawned over. We also know that BP had no environmental impact plan, except to say that it was “inconceivable”.  It would be funny to relate that back to the movie “The Princess Bride”, which remarked on the term “inconceivable” if this situation was  not so tragic. When George W. Bush was President, almost...

For those considering a walk on the wild side by voting Republican this November, I’d encourage them to check their bank account and see whether or not they can afford to be unemployed. The politically neutral Congressional Budget Office (CB0) has estimated that if the job growth pace continues like it is, Obama will have created more jobs in 2010 than Bush did in all eight years of his so-called Presidency. The latest report on the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act by the non-partisan...

There has been much talk about why the Big Oil corporations have run rough-shod over American environmental concerns. We know that Big Oil literally owns many members of Congress. We know that Bush stopped any regulation of the oil industries during his eight years in office.  The only push-back during the Bush years when it was found that oil company lobbyists and the government regulators were having parties together sharing not just influence, but sexual relations as well. Lately, we have learned that...

In a devastating nexus of technical incompetence and greed lies BP, without the slightest clue in the world as to how to stop the 200,000 gallons of oil being spewed per day from the wreckage of the oil rig explosion. Their “fail-safe” mechanism to shut off the well did not work, and complicating any meaningful efforts is the fact that this oil is being spewed from a depth of about a mile. Never mind that BP has no experience in handling this type of problem at these depths. They were simply confidant...

Let’s face it, the members of the so-called “Christian” militia group, Hutaree, is in no way Christian.  These people have not read their Bibles.  However, they may have read the “Left Behind” series of books about the End Times. Even so, I’m betting that they have not read much of anything, so I’m not blaming the authors of the Left Behind series per se.  If I had to guess at the motivation behind these men believing that they had to fight the...

After mocking the media for so long, Sarah has shown that she will willingly abandon her principles to become one of them, as long as CASH is involved. The nice thing about this is that Sarah will have more and more opportunities to demonstrate how entirely vapid she is. This show could be her downfall. Now, if she buckles down and works hard, and studies the issues and the biographies of her guests, this could be her big chance to take part in the world of adults. However, I predict that she will fail...

You might have seen this story where the RNC shows that it really knows how to use the Tea-baggers donations well. Those unemployed, right-wing, NRA, racist Goopers might want to think twice before sending any more money the RNC’s way. You see, Michael Steel wanted to use the funds to buy himself a private jet. However, Steele says he would limit its use to only those times when regular air travel was not available. I guess he’s referring to the year 1899, not 2010. Strangely enough, GOP spokesperson...

CNN gave us Glenn Beck in the name of a “balanced viewpoint”. When it was obvious that he had no real place on television or cable news, Fox News welcomed him with open arms and Beck became their ideological superstar. It looks like the same thing is going to happen with Erik Erickson, the Tea-Party-loving, Glenn Beck-worshiping, misogynist, racist “Timothy McVeigh Republican”. He and his Tea-Party people are cowards to the core. They love to hate, they love to kick, and they love...

Barack Obama signed the new Health Care Reform bill into law today. The Senate still needs to amend the bill through reconciliation. Many are wondering what this bill will really do for them personally. Well there are many parts of the bill that are effective right away. The more Americans see this bill for what it is, the greater the difficulty the GOP will have not only lying about the bill, but campaigning on repealing it. Can you see the Republicans telling their Tea Bagger allies, “We want to...

Although we would like to believe that health care opponents are just misinformed, and that they just mistakenly believe the lies that are tossed their way by their authoritarian leaders, there is something troubling about the continued racist tone to the protests. The signs that the teabaggers carry constantly force us to ask the question, are they protesting health care, or the fact that a black man is in the White House? It’s sad, really. They are frightened, manipulated citizens who believe that...

I know… Although it seemed like his presidency (and I’m using that word loosely) would never end, it is finally in the past. Can you imagine him holding up under the constant pressure that Barack Obama has had to face? And none of Barack Obama’s problems are self-inflicted. They are left-over problems from the Bush era of Wild West deregulation of everything and trying to fatten up friends and corporate donors with taxpayer money. Remember that 1.3 Trillion-dollar (with a capital “T”,...

Here’s a nice little email I got from Microsoft.  I run Windows Vista x64, so I shouldn’t be getting the email anyway. However, it’s remarkable that the attitude that Microsoft displays is so heavy-handed and threatening.  Suppose a person was running Windows 7 Release Candidate, and had not had a chance to upgrade the operating system to the full Windows 7 version? Well, with only two weeks warning, Microsoft tells you that you better finish that upgrade soon, specifically by March 1st (emphasis...

After Obama schooled the Republics in a question-and-answer session on a number of issues, Obama invited the Republics to the transparent conversation that they had requested, and added that there would be cameras there too, recording every word. To show how shallow they are, the Republics said that they had made a mistake in allowing cameras into the Q-&-A with Obama. Why was it a mistake to have cameras there? Because Obama called out their lies and distortions and answered them with facts that could...
