Nancy Pelosi Calls Bush To Thank Him Over Osama Demise

No, really, you read that headline correctly House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said she called former President George W.

The “Obama Took 16 Hours” Meme: Hold On, And Think About It

Apparently, Obama took 16 hours to make the decision to go with the operation to get “Codename Geronimo” (yes, some folks do have a problem with that).

Gas Prices Cause Hardship. More Importantly, They Harm Obama’s Approval Ratings

Obviously, the second part is more pressing to the Liberals at the Washington Post, rather than how much Americans are suffering Soaring gasoline prices are biting into household incomes and nibbling at Americans’ fuel consumption — and support for President Obama, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.

You Might Need Your Mom’s Pre And Post Natal Birth Records To Get A Passport

Well, the headline isn’t quite as catchy as “Where Were You Circumcised?: State Department Passport Application is Impossible“, but, I thought that going with “Trig Palin may need Andrew Sullivan’s permission to get a passport” might be a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with Excitable Andy’s Trigerism. Anyhow, moving on to the originator of the […]

Say, What’s The Deal With The $20 Billion BP Slush Fund?

Something I have been wondering about all day, after listening to the news reports about people still suffering, their businesses still closed or business vastly reduced, people out of work, on this 1 year anniversary of the BP blowout. Remember this Mr. Obama said the fund would be run by Kenneth Feinberg — the administration’s […]

Good Thing Obama’s Stopping That Humanitarian Crisis In Libya
