Economic Solutions: The Light Bulb for Congress

CTOkay, the boobs in Congress have let another 24 hours pass without any resolution or given any hint that anyone has a bright idea. So, Opie and I are going to take a shot at it. I think that beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is the fault of three entities; 1) Government, this means anyone with the Fed, not just Republican and not just Democrat. 2) Wall Street and their greed. 3) The Americans who...

Get Over It America: Inept Leadership and Myopic Voters

CTI am starting to understand why Rick Moran is getting disgusted with the world of politics. I have a simple question, though. What is wrong with everyone? Are we this apathetic and cynical that we cannot realize we are on the brink of financial collapse? People, this time the sky really is falling and it is falling fast. You would think times like these would bring out our real leaders, people of great character, ideas, and brilliance. I am looking around and I am not seeing any of that. What...

Dumbowit Failure on Thursday. Could They Be This Stupid?

Pundit,I gave CT the day off, he has been reading so much his eyes are buggin' out of his head and it was making him come up with all sorts of wild ideas. Well, I was more than obliged to pick up this post for Palin, the VPILF. I liked CT's little conspiracy theory about Schmidt, chief McCain campaign strategist, being a diabolical madman. Schmidt, according to CT, has Palin locked up in a cage and...

Sun Tsu Cain and the Art of VP Debating

CTAt first I was not going to write this post, because quite frankly what I was thinking made no sense to me. Then thumbing through some old reading material I came across the Art of War, by mythical general, Sun Tsu. A particular quote jumped out at me, Sun Tsu speaking about strategic assessments, "A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective."I have been puzzled by the shielding that Governor Palin...

Debating the Debate

CTWell the debate is over, the dust has settled, and the results from both sides are in. We will look at two websites from each corner of the ring and then try to and make an assesment on how this will effect the election.First the Libs, from my favorite bunch of socialist loonies, the KosKids.A lot of pundits and commenters and some Diarists are abuzz over why John McCain didn't look at Barack Obama even once during the debate Friday night.Rude, say some. Arrogant, say some. Condescending and...

Krauthammer, Critical Thinking, and Sub-Lame Lamenting

Pundit,Alright, as much as I don't like to, I have to give some cred to CT, he might have gotten a part of the Sub-Lame crisis causes right. His political writing idol, Charles Krauthammer, and him seem to agree at least on the start of the Bubble going pop! I am just glad I got to the Townhall rag before he did, I would have never heard the end of it.For decades, starting with Jimmy Carter's Community...

Biden has Definitely Fired Up the Ole' Gaffe-O-Mattic

CTWith all this seriousness going on around Opie and I have come up with two or three topics, on the lighter side, to keep things humorous and in perspective. Besides there is nothing newsworthy going on, somebody said something about some $700 billion Wall Street bail out and John McCain suspending his candidacy for the Presidency. Right now these are just rumors(being sarcastic), so we are going...

Newsflash: Al Gore to travel to sun to address issue of Helio Cooling with Sun's inhabitants!

Pundit,I am afraid I have some really bad news for the earthbound peasant class. Al Gore and the IEA have just announced in a press release that the sun is cooling and it is becuse of the usage of SUV's on Earth, just the idea of drilling offhsore, and the Sun's inahbitants continual usage of ice cubes in their beverages. (I didn't know anyone could live on the Sun.) The intensity of the sun's million-mile-per-hour...

Rabid Intellectualism and Sarah Palin

CTIn a scathing review of Sarah Palin and elitism,presented in his piece When Atheists Attack, Sam Harris has exemplified all of the flaws of the intellectual movement from contradictions, short sightedness, to a platitudinal attitude towards most “ordinary” people.Starting his diatribe off, Harris says, “The point is that she (Palin) comes to us, seeking the second most important job in the world, without any intellectual training relevant to the challenges and responsibilities that await her.”...

Obama's Witch Hunt Against the First Amendment May be Over!

CTAwhile back I posted Obama Thuggery, Trying to Shut Down the AIP's Ad. Essentially it was about an Obama campaign attempt to use the Department of Justice, as their 1st Amendment suppressing tool, to silence AIP (American Issues Project) from running an ad that tied him to William Ayers. But, Michelle Malkin reports that the DOJ will not bend to One’s will. Unfortunately, this is not confirmed officially. Although, I do trust Michelle Malkin’s sources, this falls under, “Trust, but verify.” This...

Congress: How Stupid are They?

CTReally, stupid. This latest bout is brought to you by the Botox Queen herself, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and the rest of the tribe.WASHINGTON -- House Democrats are moving to include a narrowed list of economic-stimulus proposals in a stopgap spending bill, Democratic aides said. The move could reduce chances they will push a more ambitious $50 billion stimulus package this month. [1]Now I realize this probably won't get pushed through, but, this is all they can come up with? The...

Rangel, Stupid is as Stupid Does

Pundit, Hello, world. I want to be honest I have no credentials for this. I am an average guy in a not so average world. What I do know is I am pissed off with the snotty, latte swilling, sewage that tries to tell us what to think because they view us as drones. This goes for both parties. If you are a party wonk, of either flavor, then stop reading, I am going to raise your blood pressure. The...

Sub Prime Sludge and Solutions (Revisited)

CTFollowing up on the last post, An Obama Fact Check, Sub Prime Finger Pointing, there is even more interesting information out. In an attempt to modernize the financial sector, Phil Gramm brought us the Financial Services Modernization Act . In a nut shell, it gave commercial banks the ability to get back into financial investments. So, we are possibly revisiting the cause of the Bank Collapse of 1933. But, things are much more complex nowadays, there are more people, much larger sums of money,...

An Obama Fact Check, Sub Prime Finger Pointing

CTThis post has developed very interestingly, while researching the sub prime mortgage crisis some months back I came upon some dates that tied the Housing Bubble to legislation as far back as 1994. Now, with Obama, blaming a Republican Congress and George Bush, those dates started popping back in my head. So, I started looking and found some interesting information. Well, the news is not all great...

Another Case of the Pandemic, PDS

CTMore Holly-weird coming out of the woodwork. The latest to be diagnosed with PDS is washed up comedian, Chevy Chase. Of course spewing vile rhetoric and stupidity, yawn, it is getting tiresome.Flecth, betcha he doesn't wanted to be reminded of those movies, was at a charity fund raiser for environmental awareness in schools. Assisting in funding Al Bore's indoctrination process into the Church of the GoreBull Warming. It was here he took an opportunity to fire one at Sarah Palin.WILLIE GEIST:...

Market Correcting Itself

CTIn the world of economics and finance these days saying a hurricane has hit is a lackluster description of what is going on. In the past 6 months we have had the Bear Stearn's bailout by JP Morgan-Chase brokered by the Fed, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae being nationalized (Just saying that makes my skin crawl.), and now Merrill-Lynch and Lehman Brothers disappearing.But in the case of Merril-Lynch you have Bank of America stepping up to buy them out, creating a huge financial colossus. This is an...

Governor Sarah Palin is No Reformer...What is She Then?

CTWhat we have been hearing from the MSM and the Left is that John McCain and Sarah Palin are liars, especially when it comes to Sarah Palin's record on fiscal reform. Most notably the infamous, "Bridge to Nowhere" and earmarks. Do they have a point or is this a partisan attack? The problem is neither side is offering anything more than surface evidence to back up their claims, that is just annoying. Well here is some sound evidence you decide. First, "The Bridge to Nowhere."Palin had this to say...

Fred Kaplan; News Comedian and Splitter of Hairs (Analysis of Palin Interview)

CTFred Kaplan's painful attempt at splitting hairs and mindless ramblings about the Palin interview only proves its success. The shear weakness of his arguments is astounding and the fact that Slate let him run this piece is puzzling if not comical. I hate writing so much about PDS, Palin Derangement Syndrome, but it seems to be all consuming, especially when facts and truth get so distorted.Fred's first ass-umption.Gov. Palin was obviously briefed by Sen. John McCain's advisers, and briefed fairly...

Obamania, Palinmania, it's all still mania.

CTOne of the worries I have about the election, as of late, is the flip flopping going on. I don't mean on positions, either. It is the flip flopping on perception by the American public concerning Palin. This is not an admonishment of her or me saying I have found something in her past that I just cannot get over, it is a critique of all of us, the voters.First most people were so wrapped up in the Obamania, frothing at the mouth for the center piece of "Change," most acted like 2nd rate wrestling...

McCain's Shadow Weapon and It Isn't Sarahcuda.

CTAll to often we give credit, bad or good, to what we see on the surface and never investigate into the backroom dealings and power brokers who live in the shadows. Yup, this sounds ominous and foreboding, but, it is the truth. Who are the real players behind the scenes that never get credit for their contributions. Obama has David Axelrod, who takes every opportunity to run his suck on national tele. Who does McCain have?This is a CNN article from July 11, 2007 after the McCain campaign shakeup.Campaign...

Palin/Jindal in 12'?

CTAs we have learned with this election cycle, college football last season, and NFL football, nothing is set in stone. You can pontificate and predict about the outcome of a situation all you want, but there is always that "wildcard" effect. Palin was that wildcard this election cycle. Without her intervention, or so it would seem, McCain probably would have put a respectable fight against Obama but inevitably lost the election. In the last stretch he introduces Palin and all of sudden not only...

Whooooppppiiii Goldberg, Palin Wants to "Succeed" From US

C.T.I don't even know why I am writing about this. I guess it was to damn funny to pass up. This latest attempt at Liberal brain drain is brought to you by that intellectual giant of a woman, Whoopi Golberg, via News Busters.Whoopi sez:"Sarah Palin Is a Very Dangerous Woman," she lobs a wild pitch about the Alaskan Independence Party kerfuffle: "I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to succeed from the United...

Oprah and Sarah: Is Oprah Snubbing Her?

C.T.Is Oprah snubbing Sarah Palin? First off, let me state this; As Conservatives we have to remember that our philosophies are not just inclusive to people who are Conservatives or vote GOP. Echoing Senator McCain's, "Country First." At the end of the day we are all Americans and our Conservative views about liberty and individual freedoms apply to everyone, not just a select few.Now, my opinion will probably be a lightening rod but you have to be objective about this. First off, Oprah is a hard...

Palin, Polls, & Popularity

C.T.Polls, polls, and more polls. Everyone has poll from who you are going to vote for President to how many times a day do your children pick their noses. It gets utterly ridiculous sometimes. Then you have the umpteen thousand of pollsters and their companies. It never seems to end.But, polling does serve a purpose, at least for gauging the political pulse of the country. If it is done properly and honestly it can give a clearer picture of what the outcomes might be. Presently, Senator McCain...
