    Why Is the Media Over-Doing the ‘Michelle Obama is Atractive’ Meme?

    Thursday, April 30th, 2009

    Look, I do not think that the attractiveness or lack-thereof of a politician or political figure is even remotely relevant to any discussion or critical analysis of the politician or the politician’s ideas. I think most of America is with me on this one, too. Nobody cared about Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush, Nancy [...]

    Sexist Beyonce Says Michelle Obama is her “hero”

    Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

    “Hero” is such a loaded term that it is almost grotesque to be used in such a ridiculous way. Maybe I would have let it slip if she had said “idol” or something to that effect. But “hero”? Gag.
    American R&B singer Beyonce has revealed that Michelle Obama is one of her heroes, and that she [...]

    Arlen Specter to Become a Democrat!

    Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

    According to CNN Breaking News…
    Thank you! When people with an “R” next to their name vote with a clearly liberal conscience, it besmirches good Republicans/conservatives. At this point in our Party’s history, we need to dump the “Republicans In Name Only” and attract more true conservatives. Specter switching parties simply backs up what nearly every [...]

    Ron Paul: I Feel You

    Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

    I was a very vocal critic of Ron Paul during the Republican primary (while I was blogging at Liberty Pundit). And although I still think his foreign policy pronouncements are misguided and too extreme, I’ve got to say I agree with him on two recent points:
    1. “We as a nation have endorsed secession all along. [...]

    Obama’s Foreign Policy - Not Really What We Voted For

    Monday, April 20th, 2009

    It’d be nice if Obama ever justified a policy or position with actual facts, evidence, or at least reasoned logic.
    “The whole notion was that if we showed courtesy or opened up dialogue with governments that had previously been hostile to us, that that somehow would be a sign of weakness,” Obama said, recalling his race [...]

    Tax Day Tea Party in Davenport, Iowa

    Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

    A larger crowd than I expected.

    Some Ron Paul-iacs.

    Wouldn’t be a tax day tea party without the Gipper.

    “I got my ‘Bale’ out.” A witty play on words, yes?

    “Honk if you are paying for your neighbor’s mortgage.”

    “Term Limits.” Yes.

    “Don’t Tax Me, Bro.” Somehow, I doubt it will get the play the “Don’t Tase Me, Bro” thing got. [...]

    Neighborhood Solidarity

    Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

    Our neighbors lost a child in Iraq last week.
    I never knew him, but I am forever grateful for his service (as is, apparently, the rest of the neighborhood, based on the show of support).

    Buzzworthy - Iowa Supreme Court Expected To Rule On Gay Marriage 4/3/2009

    Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

    The Iowa Supreme Court heard oral arguments in December of 2008 in the case of Varnum v. Brien and is expected to hand down their decision on the matter tomorrow.
    This case involves six same-sex couples who wish to get married in Iowa. Lambda Legal, on their behalf, filed this suit. They argued that an Iowa [...]
