President Obama’s Weekly Address

This should be subtitled the Good News/Bad News Scenario.

Well he’s letting us know the economy is in the crapper! He’s saying he showed up on Day One with things worse than ever. He’s telling us things will deteriorate before they level off. We’ve been warned. This address is total CYA for him and putting those [...]

More Inaugural Week Video: Pelosi Meet Up

This was recorded at the brunch thrown by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for California constituents who were still in town the day after the Inauguration. It’s a little choppy in parts because I was dodging other people who were moving in and out of position. She relays a a funny moment about seeing [...]

RNC Appoints First Black Chair: Strom Thurmond Rolls in His Grave!

Well symbolism is a powerful thing! We have our first Black President and in an effort at keeping up (appearances) the Republicans have just elected the first Black Chairperson for their National Committee. Progress indeed! 91-77 is close. What, Condi wasn’t available? Michael Steele, the current Chair of GoPac will now oversee how the Republicans [...]

Old School Friday

This week’s meme is remakes and originals. I watched some of the Ted Haggard media blitz earlier and between wanting to gag, I was angry that yet another woman feels so tied to retaining the title of MRS to a wretched man that the whole idea of feminism seems even more of a fallacy to [...]

Obama Signs Ledbetter Act Into Law: Women Cheer!

Do ya think some of the carping from certain entitled women will forever be silenced now that #44’s first legislative signature is for a step towards compensation equality? Probably not, but they’ll look a little more ridiculous in the future. I received an email from Kristen @ MomRising with this photo of her and Lilly [...]

Why Are So Many Companies Going Under?

Can we got some detailed explanations from economists WTH is going on with the economy?! I do NOT understand why all of these companies from Circuit City to Yahoo to the friggin’ Postal Service are reporting millions – and billions – in losses! What have they been doing the past 8 years? This isn’t all [...]

President Carter on Current Events & President Obama

CNN aired the President Jimmy Carter interview on Larry King yesterday. I admit I have a soft spot for Carter who seemed like a nice man who got the shaft because he has scruples and didn’t play into racial stereotypes. This is the man who infamously told Clinton to curtail his zipper problem so it [...]

Unfiltered Views on the (Latest) Middle East-Related Conflicts

I don’t expect to see this being critically examined on my nightly news. Dismiss it if you will but this is definitely food for thought. Particularly in light of the economic instability spending $9B + annually on military aid for other nations is costing US taxpayers. Amongst other expenditures. We are responsible for allowing our [...]

So Now the Rethugs Are Concerned About the Budget?!

It’s day 8 of the Obama Administration. He was sworn-in approximately one week ago. The President wants a huge stimulus package to make it’s way through Congress so he can sign it into law. The economy is in the toilet. While politicians want to add pork and hem and haw over semantics they are still [...]
