Ralph Nader for President: The crusade for irrelevance

Quite possibly the biggest, most shocking announcement of the presidential campaign season took place on Sunday (what you missed it?). Ralph Nader, the 74 year old lifelong consumer advocate, is throwing his hat into the ring for President (again) in his great crusade for irrelevance. What irrelevance you say? Nader only received 442,000 votes the [...]

Random Fire: John McCain’s staff gets him into trouble

Random Fire: The New York Times broke the story that John McCain may have had an ‘improper’ relationship (read the old in/out) with a Washington lobbyist, Vicki Iseman. The alleged relationship took place during the fundraisers in 1999 for his failed bid for the Republican nominee for president. The New York Times received information on [...]

Why cell phone users are so annoying (and its not what you think)

It doesn’t matter where you go these days, chances are someone around you will be using a cell phone and its also likely someone will be annoyed by that person. We have all been in a situation where someone picks up the phone in a public place, oblivious to their surroundings, and then proceeds to [...]

Evil Killing Machine Frog may have had ties to Al Qaeda

The science sections of many of the nation’s most widely read papers has been set abuzz (maybe not abuzz, more like a zzzz) by Paleontologist David Krause’s discovery in Madagascar of a frog’s fossils dating back millions of years ago to the time of the dinosaurs. According to Mr. Krause, based on the fossils found, [...]

The Decline of the Middle Class in America?

It’s becoming increasingly difficult these days to watch the news (Lou Dobbs), turn on talk radio (Air America), or listen to the candidates for President (all of them) without hearing about the great struggles of the working people in our country and the decline of the middle class. Could it be that the struggles of [...]

What happened to the terror alerts?

Flash back to the immediate post 9/11 U.S. where Americans sat on edge, constantly aware of the possibility, probability of another attack from ‘Al Qaeda’, the terrorist organization who launched the horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The threat was so real that President Bush created a whole new ‘bureaucracy’ to [...]

Roger Clemens + Congress = Taxpayers get Screwed

Does this make any sense? U.S. Economy running headlong into recession (Allen Greenspan proclaimed it today and he should know considering he drove us there.) Fighting the Vietnam of the 21st Century in Iraq — our generation needed an unwinnable war too! Free falling dollar and mounting government deficits (not to mention the first baby [...]

Project Lifeline — Government Rescues People in Foreclosure!?

Boy this one is almost too easy, I mean c’mon you set yourself up this time Uncle Sam. Changing the department of war to the department of defense….now that’s a good one but Project Lifeline? Let me explain. Project Lifeline was a program recently announced by Henry Paulson, the Secretary of the Treasury, which with [...]

Ron Paul we barely knew ye…

Well it’s painfully obvious that Ron Paul is going to fall way short of becoming the Republican nominee for President and I don’t blame the people for not voting for him. He had some wacked out beliefs that on closer inspection are very hard to get behind such as: Eliminating the IRS and the federal [...]
