ABC? Nope.
CBS? Sorry.
NBC? No… not even MS-National-Barack-Channel.
PBS? Wrong again.
CNN? Someone tell Larry King he’s not Obama’s first choice.
And the winner is…
Al-Arabiya.
Bump: Since this thread is generating a good discussion, I’m bumping it back to the front page.

Oops! Another Obama Cabinet Nominee Has Tax Problems!
30 January 2009Gee, one wonders if Obama’s cabinet vetting team was looking for tax cheats:
During the vetting process to become HHS secretary, Daschle corrected the tax violation, voluntarily paying $101,943 in back taxes plus interest, working with his accountant to amend his tax returns for 2005 through 2007.
(Mr. Daschle reimbursed the IRS $31,462 in taxes and interest [...]
Bye-Bye, Blago
29 January 2009Blago got a double whammy today.
First, the Illinois State Senate unanimously ousted him from the Governor’s Office.
Then, they pass–again unanimously–a law that forbids him from ever holding office in that state again.
Next up, the criminal trial. And we will soon see if Blago is gonna start talking to prosecutors, dropping names of those that he [...]
Stimulus or Stimu-less?

My Kind Of Bipartisanship
28 January 200911 Democrats voted Nay on the so-called “stimulus” package.
Zero (that’s 0) Republicans voted Aye.
In other words, the Nay votes were more bipartisan than the Aye votes.
Guess Obama will have to find another way to blame the GOP when his pork bill fails to resurrect the economy.
Nuclear Books?
28 January 2009Truth is stranger than fiction:
Berkeley’s public library will face a showdown with the city’s Peace and Justice Commission tonight over whether a service contract for the book check-out system violates the city’s nuclear-free ordinance.
The dispute centers on a five-year, $63,000 contract the library wants to sign with 3M, an international technology company based in Minnesota, [...]
A Surprising Source Says FDR’s New Deal Didn’t Work
28 January 2009“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.”
The gentleman who said that wasn’t a conservative Republican… it was none other than Henry Morgenthau Jr.
Who’s Morgenthau? Oh, just a former Secretary of the Treasury. Under FDR.
In short, one of the key players in FDR’s [...]
Learn How the Reid-Pelosi Congress is Spending Your Tax Dollars
27 January 2009If you’re wondering what’s in the so-called “stimulus” bill, there’s a site that has a searchable version, appropriately named ReadTheStimulus.org.
Jim Geraghty points out the following items in the so-called “stimulus” bill:
An additional $300 million for roads on Indian reservations.
An additional $100 million for the Lead Hazard Reduction Program.
An additional $44 million for “construction, repair, and [...]
First Civ Div, Camp Couch, Beer Platoon
27 January 2009Well, as of February ninth at thirteen hundred I am to report to First Civ Div, Camp Couch, Beer Platoon by way of Medical Retirement.
The day is somewhat bitter sweet, I was not ready to leave, but it was the hand that was dealt.
So anyway. I just wanted to say to all the [...]

Is Political Assassination Genetic?
27 January 2009No, I am not being silly… this story is what prompted the question:
Dismissed for 175 years as a fake, a letter threatening the assassination of President Andrew Jackson has been found to be authentic. And, says the director of the Andrew Jackson Papers Project at the University of Tennessee, the writer was none other than [...]
Ten GOP Senators Want a Tax Cheat In Charge of Treasury
26 January 2009The following ten Republican Senators voted aye on Timothy Gethner’s confirmation as Treasury Secretary, regardless of his problems with paying taxes:
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Ensign (R-NV)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Shelby (R-AL)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)
I recommend conservatives in these states remember this vote when these Senators stand for reelection.
Lazy reporting, or just ignorant reporters?
26 January 2009Much to my surprise I found this piece of garbage online today.
The story is hilarious, the fact checking poor, and the general intelligence level of all involved has to be called into question.
Why exactly do I say this?
1. The snake is not a Burmese Python as the article states. It is not [...]
Reich: Lemon Socialism
25 January 2009Former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich has some harsh words for bailout mania:
The federal government — that is, you and I and every other taxpayer — has taken ownership of giant home mortgagors Fannie and Freddie, which are by now basket cases. We’ve also put hundreds of millions into Wall Street banks, which [...]
Hail to Who???
25 January 2009I have to tell ya, and maybe it is just because I am a Marine, and I understand how much so many have given to our country unselfishly without asking for anything in return. But this really chaps my ass!
Barack Obama may have stumbled over his words briefly during his inauguration, but he made an [...]
