Filed in National by on October 22, 2011 42 Comments

I always like to check in on politics in Denver and Colorado, since that is where I cut my teeth in the political world. I’m still good friends with a number of elected officials out there and some of the Democratic Party officials. So I was surprised to read this today. My brother, who is a Denver Democratic Party officer sent it to me. It seems as though Koch-style big money has trickled down to the school board races.

Invade Iraq, that is. And just one more story the MSM didn’t cover: A raging born-again religious fanatic lunatic was President. El Somnambulo cannot make this stuff up. But here’s the sourced inside skinny, starting w/Daily Kos, and continuing with an account from the Council for Secular Humanism: Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French […]

Final Thought – Most conservative

Filed in National by on April 28, 2009 15 Comments

What president was the most conservative? Now that Dubya is so unpopular, many conservatives are quick to claim that Bush wasn’t really a conservative anyway.

Ari Fleischer is a big liar. FLEISCHER: It was in part because of Iraq and large part because of the economy that Barack Obama won. Having said that, I also think Barack Obama should say thank you every day that he inherited a world without Saddam Hussein in it. The one thing people are going […]

What’s the Deal with Blair House?

Filed in National by on January 7, 2009 19 Comments

What is the real story behind Blair House, because what’s emerging is raising pettiness to a new level.  Was the Obama’s request to move in ten days early really denied due to an overnight visit by a former Prime Minister?  And can you imagine what the MSM would be doing with this story if it had […]

Deliberate Incompetence

Filed in National by on December 15, 2008 20 Comments

I have reached the conclusion that the last eight years weren’t the stumblings of an incompetent frat boy, but rather, a deliberate effort to bring our country to its knees.  I believe what we are witnessing is the Republican version of Tough Love – which might be more accurately described as spousal abuse, as in… […]
