NewsBusters: ‘Recovery Summer’ vs. ‘Mission Accomplished’: Will MSM Immortalize Obama’s Laughable Proclamations? First, it should be noted that the “Mission Accomplished” meme, as trumpeted by the media since May, 2003, is largely a myth. Bush never delivered those words in the context portrayed by many media liberals. The phrase was never actually uttered on the [...]

Afghani Cage Match: Senator Obama vs. President Obama on the Ongoing War

Pretty straightforward stuff, wouldn’t you say?  Fairly demonstrative with regard to a major shift in perspective by the president of the United States on a major campaign and policy issue?  Probably a little more than damaging, to the president, especially considering how much he continues to lose support from even his own side of the [...]

Fins Up for the Gulf Coast; Thumbs Down for the Networks

I am a Parrothead.  And a proud one at that.  There’s something about the escapism in the mixture of rock, folk and reggae from a tropical-themed stage filled with members of the Coral Reefer Band.  There’s something, too, about the carefree attitude and the free-flowing margaritas found so easily before any show. Yes, I know [...]

Kill Switch

With summer vacation having finally arrived, the annual family sojourn is in full swing. This year the Feeny clan find themselves at Universal Studios in Orlando, a trip against which yours truly fervently warned my wife – the summer months in Florida are no picnic weather-wise, and as staunch a hot-weather person as I am, [...]

The Anomaly, Not the Norm

Community Disorganizer

Most common-sense, middle class conservatives thrive on one very important element of their daily lives: routine. As such, each and every one of my Saturday mornings consists of the same ritual – pulling myself off the living room couch at about 7 am (since it generally doesn’t take me long to collapse in front of [...]

Obama … Clintonesque?

National Enquirer: Obama Cheating Scandal PRESIDENT OBAMA has been caught in a shocking cheating scandal after being caught in a Washington, DC hotel with a former campaign aide, sources say. And now, a hush-hush security video that shows everything could topple both Obama’s presidency and marriage to Michelle! A confidential investigation has learned that Obama first [...]

Boehner: Democrats Admit New Health Care Law Hurts Employers, Jobs

First, the so-called “stimulus” package was supposed to be about jobs.  Later, because it was wholly ineffective and because it was never about jobs to begin with, Congress wanted a dedicated Jobs Bill.   Then, the health care reform bill was supposed to jump start businesses large and small.  Later, we found out that many companies [...]

An Open Letter to Governor Jan Brewer

Dear Gov. Brewer, Allow me to begin my comments, Gov. Brewer, by thanking you for taking the common-sense stand with regard to illegal immigration for which so many honest, everyday Americans have desperately been asking of their federal government. I, for one–and I’m confident that I speak for many–fail to understand the policies and alleged [...]

Let’s Set the Record Straight, Already

It started, oddly enough, with a now former voiceover spokesman for GEICO Insurance, Lance Baxter, who left a disparaging voicemail message for FreedomWorks, the PAC responsible for much of the albeit loose organization behind the Tea Party movement.  While I’m sure his voice sounded buttery smooth, what he had to say wasn’t exceptionally nice, as [...]
