Filed under Politics

To butcher Shakespeare: Mark Morford doth protest too much. Robert Stacy McCain has plenty of fun with him, and I’m sure Little Miss Attila will swoop in for a comment soon.

What will individuals (receiving up to $600) and families (getting up to $1200 plus $300/child) do with the money? Retailers are hoping they’ll go shopping (sounds a little like President Bush post-Sep. 11), but for many the rebates will pay off bills:
“I would love […]

Obama Distances Himself from Wacky Wright

Sen. Barack Obama denounced the hateful, arrogant spoutings of Rev. Jeremiah Wright from yesterday’s farcical address at the National Press Club.
That’s the story, but the real story is Obama finally had to hold a press conference. You know things were bad in Camp Obama if he felt the need to talk to reporters.
The first […]

Filed under Music

Guns ‘n Roses fans have been waiting years for Chinese Democracy. From this “leaked” song I think Axl should have let GnR die a good death.

McCain’s Health Care Plan Emphasizes Competition

Spiraling health care costs are largely due to third-party payments. A consumer has less incentive to economize health care spending if they know an insurance company is paying the costs. Hunting for a deal on yearly physicals or open heart surgery becomes pointless if the patient isn’t covering the bill. Because of wage controls from […]

Jeremiah Wright’s Rantings

Filed under Politics

While watching the replay of Jeremiah Wright’s speech today I ask myself, “Does this man realize slavery no longer exists in America?” Yeesh, you think he never knew the Civil War was fought.
He spewed multicultural, moral relativism typical of that heard on far-Left university campuses.
What an arrogant man. He actually thinks talking about his anti-American […]
