Charles in Charge

An article in the Miami Herald describes Florida Governor Charlie Crist's final year in office as one "with perilous poll numbers, his optimism worn thin and his shell of political Teflon deeply scratched."  Was it his broken "no new taxes" pledge or did he underestimate the resolve of his conservative base?  It appears he could now lose his Senate bid to upstart challenger Marc Rubio. Looks like someone needs a hug! Wait! No! Not the hug!

The 2010 Mid-Term Election

It was funny the LAST time the Democrats blew it and it'll be funnier the NEXT time.

The Law Is A Ass

President Soros

Is there anything more evil than a hedge fund manager? Every hedge fund manager I ever knew personally (okay-- just two) voted Democrat and supported leftist causes with their ill-gotten wealth. Fah!

Merry Christmas Anyway

Sadly, the annual tradition of strangers wishing glad tidings to other strangers has gone the way of department store Santas, stars atop Christmas Trees (on public or commercial property,)  Peace on Earth and Goodwill To Men. "Christmas" is a dirty word now and no matter how bad the economy gets, Macy's  and The Gap et al  won't dare utter the word until they post their first After Christmas Sale (!) ads on December 26.

Holy War

 

Not to be confused with the Progressive's current war on Christianity.

Judy McGrath, Waste Manager

Kanye West made an ass of himself (again) on the Video Music Awards show when he stormed the stage and grabbed the microphone from 19 year old Taylor Swift as she gave her acceptance speech. Apparently Miss Swift wasn't West's choice.

I'm surprised there are enough music videos left to merit an awards show.

MTv Chief Executive Judy McGrath killed the video star to make room for the execrable programming that passes for entertainment today. The Scranton-born Mother of Reality TV started with The Real World back in 1992 and has never looked back- or should I say "up?"

Is she proud of her legacy? Does she want to be remembered for Tool Academy? Does she understand that Paddy Chayefsky was writing satire?

Political Correctness

Or, as I like to call it, "Censorship."

The Iran Syndrome

0000.00 Remember the "Doomsday Clock" of the Cold War era? It never seemed to be more than two seconds away from "midnight." Who knew that one day we'd regard the era of Mutually Assured Destruction with the communist superpowers as "the good old days."

Tick, tick, tick...

From CBS news:

U.N. sanctions only work when they are airtight. Despite the White House's message that the veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council (the P5 as they are called: the U.S., Russia, France, China, and the U.K.) and Germany are unified in their response and that the Iranian missile tests of last week were a game changer, they are dodging the harsh reality that China is not even close to being "on board" for tough sanctions. more
