Let’s move on from the Barack Obama birth certificate controversy. Much more important things to worry about. Snopes.com debunks the rumors that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen, and thus ineligible to be President of the United States here. According to Snopes, the Certificate of Live Birth provided by the Obama campaign is not [...]
the presser
Several things crossed my mind while I was listening to President Obama’s “press conference”. Here we go. 1) More people could afford health care if they had jobs. That’s where the President’s focus should be right now, rather than on national / universal (whatever the term we are using this week is) health care or [...]
this and that
On SCOTUS: Judge Sonia Sotomayor should be evaluated based on her work experience and judicial record, not on her compelling personal story. At the very least, Republicans should ask a few hard questions before allowing this confirmation to proceed through the Senate. On the CIA/Cheney: If the CIA doesn’t have plans (secret or otherwise) to [...]

thursday news bites
Former VP Cheney provides an impassioned defense of Bush administration foreign policy. President Obama continues to insist that Gitmo must be closed, even as the Senate attempts to block funding for his grand scheme. Senator DeMint writes an NRO op-ed critical of government-provided health care. And my great gov Sanford continues to fight the state [...]
know your role
What makes Michael Steele great on TV and talk radio makes him controversial as the RNC Chairman. There are very few Republicans currently holding political office who could be successful pundits, and there are even fewer Republican politicians that would continue to win elections saying things that the members of their party don’t want to [...]
see ya
Senator Arlen Specter finally makes the decision to leave the Republican Party and officially join his fellow Democrats by running for re-election as a Democrat. I can’t say I’m terribly upset about this news. His motivation for doing this doesn’t really matter to me. It does open up more options for challengers like Pat Toomey…or [...]
