Obama and the Faithful

Although this may understandably come as news to those who depend upon the MSM and Obama-besotted cable and internet media for their information, an impressive collection of Catholic organization are suing the ass of the Obama administration on account of an aspect of Oba… Read full post »

Not easy to choose from among the numerous entries, but the following strike me as the most humorous and desperate of the moves of the Obama campaign to date:

• Biden lecturing the Republicans on choosing a candidate with presidential qualifications.  Obama clearly had none and has spent the past

T. Martin and Who? A while back, the local, state, and national media became aflame with the story of a black youth being shot and killed by a basically, if not completely white.  A few weeks ago, two young white reporters from the Virginian-Pilot newspaper were set upon and beaten up by… Read full post »

Duct Tape Justice at Gitmo

It seems that the alleged terrorists on trial at Gitmo are acting up. Some waste time by demanding a reading of the lengthy charging allegations. No problem; read them. The execution has already been delayed an unconscionable length of time courtesy of the ineptitude… Read full post »

Public and Private Milestones

The government made headlines by mothballing space shuttles, thus bringing to a close America's historic leadership in space.

The private sector made headlines by building a World Trade Center replacement, which is not only now Manhattan's tallest building bu… Read full post »

Obama's Six Degrees of Desperation

It's as if Obama has been orchestrating the scandals and misadventures of his lieutenants to bring them all to a climactic boil around voting time.

• Holder is clearly on an autumnal launch pad as the Fast and Furious scandal cascades to a conclusion.
• GSA/

Romney's Team

Aside from the patent inadequacy of the head of the snake, the failure of the Obama presidency is due in no small measure to that magical mixture of incompetence and philosophical impurity that characterizes the mob with whom Obama has chosen to surround himself. Examples are too… Read full post »

Obama—Our Most Predictable President

Predictability is generally a good idea. That's why we have the rule of law and interdictions of ex post facto ones. The lack of predictability in terms of operational regulation, tax rates, and health care expenses is a major blow that the Obama admin/… Read full post »

Obama as CEO

Would it be asking too much for the country's CinC to have some experience as a CEO?

The election of Obama back in 2008 was a giant leap of faith on the part, among others, of leftist intellectuals who fancied that a Chicago-style community organizer could somehow morph… Read full post »

Today's Congressional hearing, when a GSA official didn't say whether or not he attended a Las Vegas function sponsored by his own agency, was curious to me. Does the guy attend so many freebies of this sort that it's all a blur? No, probably not, because he refused to answer the/… Read full post »

In a display of pre-Columbian inartfulness, members of the Secret Service (and apparently some members of the uniformed military) got into some nasty commercial squabbles with the local merchants of self and hotel accommodations.

It seems the hookers wanted to be paid, considering coitus with those c… Read full post »

Obama's Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest Team

Surely one of the signs of an acceptable, forget about good, leader is the ability to attract and engage a group of competent, forget about impressive, advisors.

Obama continues to follow his well worn pattern of surrounding himself with lieutenants… Read full post »

Two Speeches—Obama and Cory

If the public would like to have a further glimpse into what the next four years will be like if Barack Obama is re-elected, speeches given recently by Obama and Angela Cory, the Florida State Attorney appointed to investigate the Trayvon Martin murder, are hig… Read full post »

Obama's New Supreme Court

In the likely event that the current Supreme Court will fail to succumb to Obama's jejune attempt at intimidation by blatantly misrepresenting the relative functions of the judicial and legislative branches of government (and disgracing the executive branch in the barg… Read full post »

Insular? Isolated? Blind? Hopelessly partisan?

It's hard to come up with the right words to describe OS's take on the world.

The only explanation that gives OS any credibility at all as a source of intelligent socio-political commentary is that the Search function simply doesn't work.

When checked a… Read full post »

Greenwood and God

The administration of some obscure public school decided that when students sing Lee Greenwood's big hit, God Bless the USA, they should substitute "We Love the USA" for the song's title.

While atheists and religionists line up in a fevered debate about the separation of… Read full post »

Fifth Circuit Screws Up

The Fifth Circuit's demand that Holder and his hoodlums take pen to paper by noon today to explain the government's position on the general proposition of judicial review has been widely attacked. Although the spectacle of the Supreme Court being challenged for the secon… Read full post »

Obama's Very Unpresidential Meltdown

What happens when you ask a boy to do a man's job? Answer: Barack Obama.

Obama's performance over the past seven days can be explained only by his being totally panicked by the questions relating to Obamacare asked by Supreme Court justices of Obama's… Read full post »

The Final Nail in Santorum's Political Coffin

In a display of remarkable journalistic fortitude, the beauteous and bright Shannon Bream managed to make it through an interview with Karen Santorum without, to use her husband's recently used expression, throwing up.

Is it possible that ther… Read full post »

Having shamelessly used his daughters to defend his call of support for the equally shameless Sandra Fluke, Papa Obama has conjured up an as-yet-unborn son to buttress presidential outrage at the killing of a young black kid in Florida.

Is it necessary to invent a phantom child to express what has… Read full post »

Are Women Taking Over Open Salon?

Don't get me wrong. I love women. Some of my best friends are women. I married one and wouldn't even mind if my sister did.

But looking over today's OS EPs and FPs, one might be tempted to think that the new IPad is a… Read full post »

The Disease of Pregnancy

Although I am tempted to yield the point, albeit belatedly, in the case of certain spokespersons for policies that, if not squelched later this year, will surely bring our noble country down into European quagmires, the notion that pregnancy is a disease has recently sp… Read full post »

Obama's Shameless Use of His Daughters

It seems that there are truly no depths to which Obama will not sink in order to achieve a political advantage or, in the case of the Sandra Fluck affair, to get out of a political pickle.

When asked to explain the inexplicable, viz., why… Read full post »
