Gleefully I bring thee Neo-Con humour

Now that Palin has tasted the high life she is not about to give it up any time soon - and if that means making Liberals squirm while she speaks and is televised, or whoops it up with her 'fellow' neo-con nutcases as they buy into her persona, so be it.Yet, with one piece of...

Beck says Net Neutrality would destroy the free market

Yes, there are some people who take the showman seriously - more fool them?Personally I think so - but is it just a matter that Beck plays on ignorance? That wouldn't seem to be the case with those who currently comment about him and are, at least at face value, quite...

The audacity of greed: private health insurance

Almost for longer than time itself - OK, slight exaggeration - insurance companies have being trying so hard, millions of dollars in attack ad's, to protect their profits, they now come out into the open and say - quite openly - that they really don't believe in competition...

Think of the Children!

Personally I am sick to the back teeth of that excuse being used. But, yet again it is - and this time to stop people smoking outside at public beaches and parks.I must say that I am a smoker - but as a smoker I...

Conservatives hate Obama more than they love the USA

We saw that with the spontaneous outburst of gratitude when Chicago lost the Olympic bid - but where do you go to see these actions in print? Salon.com tells us."Liberal bias can be found in the unlikeliest of places these days, and it's often the people you'd least suspect...

Mr Beck: Cue "cry". "But my eyes are getting used to this".

For those who love Glenn Beck and his take on what he - and they - see as the correct and right way to think about the US - call it his 9/12 project. You know - when he calls for tea parties so some, a few,...

They don't like it up 'em

I do chuckle when Republicans ask for an apology - especially when asking for one when it is obvious that the person being asked for the apology is, in fact, correct. "(CNN) – Republicans are pouncing on a...

ACORN - destablising America?

I want you to watch something - whether you are Republican or Democrat, Conservative or Left-Wing - watch it because what you think afterwards says more about you than anything else.This is what I want you to watch. What you think will put you into any number of camps. Those...

The underbelly of "progressive conservatism"

There is a backlash in the UK - and though many on the right are descending into raptures of glee because there will be a Tory government after the next election they forget - as usual, that New Labour are as far from a left-wing party as they are, maybe even a little more to...

My plan to file a complaint with the California State Bar

Whose plan?You may remember a person called Orly Taitz? Yes? No? She's the "Birther" promo, or nut as I call her. She was, but is no longer, representing Connie Rhodes to stop Connie - a Captain in the US forces - from being deployed because they had this spat about Obama's...

Where is Obama's 'Wotan'?

I think, therefore I am - I think?The cowboy in this particular blog post uses Jung to explain Bush Jr as some form of Nazi monster - or have I read it wrong - I have no real idea at that - but what is said:"Bush shares his 'demons' with a demographic represented in Germany...

Joe Wilson: Healthcare Hypocrite

As we look deeper - something those on the right invariably do not - we see that many, if not all who sit on the GOP benches are, indeed, hypocrites when it comes to healthcareUSA.Why, you ask?Because - they are insured in the same way that Barack Obama wants the rest of...

These are Christians, right?

I oft wonder about the US religious right - from the heady days when they helped the Hollywood actor into power to watching them on TV today crying because one of their member has been caught out as being something horrid, like being gay, having sex or covering up that one of...

When Republicans say ...

… that the American people are better off – economically – under a Republican administration, they are off on that planet Barney Frank talked about, because it is simply not the case. How do we know this? Well, as simply put as possible – you just have to look at the...

September 12 Protest Signs in Washington, racism?

You look around - and through the eyes of a foreigner, looking in on the USA is not looking into a jar of wonderment and awe.People I speak to who are not American ask me, for I am sincerely interested in US politics, "Why do those people act like that? All that black guy is...
