Buzz Aldrin Misses Chance to Be First Man to Walk On Obama

April 14, 2010

Famed latecomer Buzz Aldrin missed his chance today to be the first man to walk all over Obama’s cutbacks for the NASA space program when Neil Armstrong once again beat him to the punch by writing a letter of critique to the President. An insider told reporters that Mr. Aldrin missed the opportunity while he [...]

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and Forget About Health-Care

February 2, 2010

The top two officials of the Defense Department are pushing for a repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy of excluding Gays from the military. They warned that the process could take years. I think that’s great news, actually. This couldn’t come at a better time. As long as those standing in opposition to Obama’s Agenda [...]

Is Obama Being Unreasonable?

January 29, 2010

Is it possible that Obama is full of shit? I wouldn’t go that far. But I do wonder if it’s possible that some of his policies and agendas might not be the best way forward. What I really wonder is if a lot of really reasonable people are blind to perfectly good arguments against his [...]

Obama: “…just voting no…that’s not leadership.”

January 28, 2010

Of all the lines I heard tonight in Obama’s State of The Union Address, I was most impressed by this one: “And if the Republican leadership is going to insist that sixty votes in the Senate are required to do any business at all in this town, then the responsibility to govern is now yours as [...]

Obama Shouldn’t Bow

November 20, 2009

There’s still, days later, a discussion on whether or now Obama should have bowed to the emperor of Japan. I, for one, agree with many of my Fox News friends. A president should not bow. I agree he shouldn’t bow, and I don’t think he ought to shake hands either. It’s demeaning to have the [...]

Fox News: Attacked

October 18, 2009

In his weekly address, Obama spoke of “one cable news station” in particular, who was, and I am risking a paraphrase here, lying. There’s a lot of talk lately about the Obama Administration taking on Fox News or, maybe more accurately, talking back. This has been spurred by Obama’s address, as well as a comment [...]

Don’t Ask, But Go Ahead and Tell

October 11, 2009

Well I’ll be goddamed. Obama did it. Sixteen years after its start, the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy of excluding gays from the military is soon to be put to rest. Oh, wait, hold on. He hasn’t DONE IT, not quite yet, but he’s assured everyone that he intends to. Obama has said that his [...]

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize, Discusses Afghanistan

October 9, 2009

It was announced today that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. The immediate question on most people’s minds, “why?”

Democracy vs What’s Right

September 19, 2009

We’re talking about how to deal with disagreement in a democracy. The general plight of any political discussion is the balance between wanting to feel right and having faith that an intelligent human being can come to a different conclusion than you.
