The Afganistan Parenthesis ~ David Bromwich
David Bromwich.Professor of Literature at Yale Posted: December 2, 2009 01:23 PM An unusually reflective lawyer once advised a purchaser of a house that a contract should not be signed or money paid before the seller made all the final repairs and improvements. "Do it straight and plain -- you don't want the tail in the door." Something about President Obama's West Point Speech on...

Obama's Kooks by Phyllis Schlafly
Posted: November 18, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Another kooky Barack Obama appointee became publicly known this month and quickly was thrown or voluntarily threw herself under the bus. Anita Dunn, the White House communications director (who led Obama's war on Fox News), said that Mao Zedong was one of her two favorite "political philosophers" whom "I...

Anguish of the Apostate: Second Thoughts Are Best by Adam Baldwin
'Intellect loses its virtue when it ceases to seek truth and turns to the pursuit of political ends.' - Robert H. Bork In a 'Big' way, Andrew Breitbart has injected into our modern cultural/media zeitgeist a foundational reminder of why it is so intellectually critical, even fun, to inspire and embrace the notion that 'there's nothing better than having convivial relations with people with whom...
City of Daytona Beach - Listened to We the People.
Last night in a Unanimous Vote, the City of Daytona Beach City Commission voted to set this year's millage rate at the same level as last year. The Mayor and the Commisson expressed that they had definitively heard from their constituents...and felt that it was important NOT to increase the tax burden on the citizens. Kudos to the Commission. There will be tough decisions to be made in order to...
Who will harness the RAGE?? - Dan Froomkin @ HuffPo
Ever since the economy crashed and the government paid hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out the fat-cats who were responsible, a populist rage has been seething away across the country. Home values have collapsed, more than two million homes have been foreclosed on, retirement nest eggs are decimated, seven million jobs have been lost. Hard-won feelings of financial security now seem like a...
Too late for Obama to turn it around? - Camille Pagila
Sept. 9, 2009 | What a difference a month makes! When my last controversial column posted on Salon in the second week of August, most Democrats seemed frozen in suspended animation, not daring to criticize the Obama administration's bungling of healthcare reform lest it give aid and comfort to the GOP. Well, that ice dam sure broke with a roar. Dissident Democrats found their voices, and by late...
Text to the Obama speech to the children.
Hello everyone - how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.

15 Statements about Health Care..Truth or Untruth
A few months ago, a Republican U.S. Senator told me that he pleaded with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to pressure the HELP Committee Democrats to let the Republicans negotiate and help shape the bill, since the Democrats were not listening or including the Republicans in any discussions. Senator Kennedy's staff told the Republican Senator to take a hike. No one told Senator Kennedy's...
Congressman Posey Sounds Off
Congressman Bill Posey has met a dizzying pace and some frustrating politics during his first seven months in Washington. The Rockledge Republican has helped police the bank bailout and stimulus efforts as a member of the House Financial Services Committee. He has fought on behalf of Brevard County's seniors and space industry. And he has been lampooned by cable TV and the comic strip Doonesbury...
Government Defined
What a GREAT explaination of Government. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In the Pledge of Allegiance we all pledge allegiance to our Republic, not to a democracy. "Republic" is the proper description of our government, not...

I do not know if other participants in these Hearings have taken the time to...
I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin - by David Kahane
The Republicans bring a knife to a gunfight, and lose again. By David Kahane One of the most terrifying moments of my political life came last summer at the Republican convention in St. Paul. No, I don't mean seeing John McCain careering around the Xcel Energy Center like Eyegore in Young Frankenstein, his face frozen in a Lon Chaney Sr. rictus grin as he reached across the aisle to his...
