President Bush will never be classified as someone who bows to foreign pressures, that’s for sure. The latest “wait a minute” moment from the man I voted for comes as Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki suggests a timetable for America to withdraw its troops. From the article:
Iraq has proposed a short-term memorandum of […]

Earlier today, USAToday.com ran a story about some of those government stimulus checks that have not reached their intended recipients yet. Turns out that the government is diverting checks away from those who owe back taxes, child support payments, student loan debts, and other government-related debts. From the article:
So far, 1.8 million rebate […]

Pretty much all of the polls show that Barack Obama is ahead in the Presidential election. Though we’re still far away from ballots being cast, I was thinking earlier about what “change” means to me. About six months ago I posted about the danger of harping on change in an election - let’s […]

A few days ago I posted a review for former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s new book, Real Change. Somewhere in this book Speaker Gingrich talks about the need for large monetary prizes from the government which will spur an innovation revolution. It would appear that Senator John McCain read that chapter […]

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is probably one of the best public policy minds in the United States today. Speaker Gingrich wrote Real Change before the term “change” became the buzz word of the 2008 election and when you read his book you can’t help but be impressed with the real changes […]

Last month Joe Biden took to the microphones and commented about how something President Bush had done was “bullshit.” Interesting that a sitting Senator would use that term in a public. If you don’t believe it’s true, our friends at CNN.com actually repeated the comment on their website. Take a look:

Because that’s […]

The talking heads on television keep telling us how historic this election is in that we have the first black nominee (presumptive though he may be at this point) and the oldest person to run for a first term as President. Obviously Obama’s campaign is more historic that McCain’s campaign so I think the […]

Hard to believe that a story like this would surface in the year 2008, but here it is: Candidate speaks at Hitler birthday party. Come on. COME ON! You mean to tell me that the guy running for this Congressional seat - a guy named Tony Zirkle - walked into that […]

As I type this, I’m sitting in my professional development class on fund raising for nonprofit organizations. The class started about a half an hour ago and so far the topic of discussion has been the completely unsurprising New York Times article that was published yesterday regarding the television military news analysts (former army […]

While looking around FOXNews.com I noticed a story about a high school student arguing that his “American Government” textbook is biased. The article cites some parts of the textbook that claim global warming is still being studied and that the Supreme Court decision on striking down the Texas law regarding gay sex harmed the […]

The Georgia chapter of the NAACP is questioning the sentences handed down to those two bimbos in the infamous “Barbie Bandits” bank heist cases. They are questioning why the two young white women received less harsh sentences than the two black men involved in the case.
In an attempt to save the great state of […]

Again, as I’m cleaning out some old e-mails I’m coming across some pretty interesting ones. The first military quote below has been confirmed by Snopes.com while the other two are not on their site. It would be nice if the valor, honor, and truth of these statements carried through all discussions regarding the […]
