Let me preface this by saying I didn’t watch the President’s speech last night. Frankly I’ve been been watching him for roughly two years now and I’m tired of his hollow rhetoric. I did read through the transcript this morning though… it reads more like campaign speech than a State of the Union address. Worse […]

Massachusetts Miracle: Scott Brown Wins!
I have to confess I haven’t paid close attention to the special election in Massachusetts to fill the senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy… Frankly, I didn’t think there was even the slightest chance that a Republican could win there, in fact republicans haven’t won Senate race in the Bay State since the 1970s! […]
The Body Scanner Scam
Edward Luttwak, a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, has a must read op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal… In short Mr. Luttwak lays way waste to the fallacy of body scanners in airport security screening: All males have a body cavity. Females have two body cavities. In prisons, these body […]
Danny Glover: Stuck on Stupid
What the frak is wrong with these people? Seriously what major dysfunction would cause a supposedly intelligent human being like Danny Glover to try and blame the Haitian earthquake on global warming? “When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what […]
Train Wreck: Retail Sales Fall, Jobless Claims Rise, Foreclosures set Record and the Dollar Crisis
Whew, I can’t believe I got all that in headline! Anyone who has read this blog for any period of time knows I’m a pessimist on the economy, in short I don’t see any reason to be hopeful: Retail sales unexpectedly fell in December, leaving 2009 with the biggest yearly drop on record and highlighting […]
Pat Robertson: Idiot
Does anyone take Pat Robertson seriously anymore? Tragedy often brings out the best… and worst in people, yesterday while most of us were scrambling to find ways to help the Haitian people Rev. Pat Robertson was on The 700 Club saying the following: Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not […]
Scott Brown: It’s the People’s Seat
Damn right… It is the people’s seat… There a reason why the race to fill the senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts is apparently to close to call. This video clip from last night’s debate between Republican Scott Brown, Democrat Martha Coakley and Independent Joe Kennedy demonstrates it pretty clearly. It’s the […]
Harry Reid: Racist Idiot
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is under fire for remarks he made to reporters about then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008: Republicans called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to resign his leadership post over remarks he made in 2008 about then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, adding to the Nevada Democrat’s political troubles. Mr. Reid, who […]
Boston Herald: Democrats Would Stall Brown to Pass Health Care Reform
There’s and editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal titled “The 60th Senate Vote“. It details what’s at stake in the January 19, special election to fill the Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy… in short, should Republican Scott Brown win he be the 41st Republican in the Senate and would deny Democrats […]
December Unemployment Holds Steady at 10 Percent
I’m looking for good news in the December Jobs Report, but I can’t find any… From Reuters: U.S. employers cut 85,000 jobs in December, confounding expectations the labor market was finally stabilizing and piling pressure on President Barack Obama to spur job growth. Unemployment, which held steady at 10 percent, remains the Achilles heel of […]

Ouch: Don’t worry Jack, we will! Most open and ethical Congress in history… Heh!
Bloomberg: Geithner’s Fed Told AIG to Limit Swaps Disclosure
In a sane world Tim Geithner’s tax troubles would have kept him from being confirmed as Treasury Secretary. Unfortunately, we don’t live sane and those tax troubles pale in comparison to what we’re learning about the Geithner led Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s role in the AIG bailout: The Federal Reserve Bank of New […]

Happy New Year
Here’s to 2010… May she be a whole hell of a lot better than 2009! Lets face it 2009 pretty much sucked… Personally, I lost my dad when it was barely a month old and it was mostly down hill from there… Hopefully, 2010 will be better. I hope you all have, a safe, prosperous […]
