Mitt Romney: New American Homeless?

With the recession, many have lost not just their jobs, but their homes. Some end up on the streets, some sleeping on friends' couches and some live with family.  All of these are considered homeless.

Such is it with poor Mitt Romney.  He and his wife sold their home in Belmont in… Read full post »

Mitch McConnell says that there's not really a war on women and that it's a manufactured issue.

The Issue of Freedom in 2012

He discussed the Civil War and stated that this election would be just as important as the… Read full post »

Rick Santorum is miffed, yes, miffed I tell you.

You would think that being so conservative, so devout, so emphatic about his religious beliefs that  fellow Roman Catholics would rise up to hail him as their Christian Soldier to march them unto war with the heretics.  Problem is, they aren't… Read full post »

Clarifying Rick Santorum

More and more often, one has to wonder if Rick Santorum ever listens to what comes out of Rick Santorum's mouth.

Latest case in point.  Yesterday, in Mississippi, the candidate for High Inquisitor told the crowd:

"See, I always believed that when you run for president of the United States, it sho… Read full post »

Like so many in this country, I'm looking for a job.  

You spend your time writing your resume to highlight different aspects, types of jobs, job skills, education.  Hoping that you can place the right job skills in front of the right employer.

On holidays like birthdays and Valentine's Day, the person of honor usually gets a gift of some sort.  Something to let you know that you recognize what they mean to you.  A token of their appreciation.

So what did the Republican Party give the women of this country on International Women's… Read full post »

Raising Yourself By Kicking A Corpse

I have to say, I have listened to, over the past few days, people who felt they needed to take pot shots when a celebrity, in this case, Whitney Houston died and I have asked myself why people feel the need to disrespect someone at the point when they literally can… Read full post »

Santorum: Running For Sexual Caesar

For decades we were told that the Republican Party was the party of limited government, and at some point in the distant past, that might have been true.

For the last several years, the Republican Party has been the small government party, small enough to fit between a woman and her OB/GYN.

Gingrich Definition Of Same Is

Newt Gingrich
 
Poor Fig, somehow he was under the impression that he could wave the flag of "Family Values" and skirt questions of his own personal behavior. He is apparently praying that acting indignant and hoping that the voting public has a short memory will ease him into the candidacy.

For Newt's Sake

I am truly enjoying the GOP primary race this year because, with this crop, you never know what's going to drop when you shake the tree.

Yesterday, we talked about Ron Paul's legal issues and today, like a gift from on high, we are given a gift thanks to DCBureau.org concerning Newt Gingrich… Read full post »
