How hard can it be to be a competent president?
I think the left is finally realizing that the answer is: very. Their hatred and contempt for George Bush made them actually believe that he was every bit as stupid as they said he was. A village in Texas was … Continue reading →
Watch the rats leave the sinking ship: Olbermann, et al, on the President’s oil spill speech
Please watch this video response to the president’s oil spill speech. I believe that commenter “chemman” at Hot Air has summed it up best: I think a rogue worm-hole momentarily transported us to an alternate reality. Visit msnbc.com for breaking … Continue reading →

The press and Obama: where’s that lovin’ feeling?
Please go to PJ for this piece of mine about the end of the press’s love affair with Obama. Did I say “the end?” To paraphrase (and invert) the famous Churchill quote: Now this is not the end. It is … Continue reading →
