What's the big deal already?(12/26/08)
Why are people making such a fuss about Caroline Kennedy wanting to be appointed to the Senate? Gee, a Kennedy wanting a political office, what a shock. People seem truly upset because she will probably get the job just because of her name. So what? She won't be the first person to do that...

Chicago epicenter of political corruption (12/18/08)
With all of the talk about change this year it's good to know that some things stay the same. Politics in Illinois, especially in Chicago has been, is, and always be the epicenter of political corruption. The revelation that Illinois Governor Blagojevich was trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat to the highest bidder is about as shocking as revealing that the sky is blue and water is wet...

It's time for change in leaders (12/04/08)
For the first time in its history Wal-Mart has had its first AKIA. That stands for Associate Killed In Action, and it happened in a store in New York. Here's the story in case you missed it. It happened Friday morning at one of those 5 a.m. ...

Time for change (11/28/08)
It's time for the Democratic Party to reevaluate its leaders. I'm not talking about Howard "The Scream" Dean. Under his leadership Barack Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to get more than 50% of the vote since Lyndon Johnson...

California bans gay marriage (11/20/08)
You may have missed the really big news out of the election because of all of the hoopla over the first president from Illinois since 1860, but it came from California. That state passed a law banning gay marriage...

Historic election comes to an end (11/13/08)
No matter how you voted, no matter how you feel about the result, America made history last Tuesday. Even if you're a strictly conservative Republican you should take pride in the fact that, finally anybody can grow up to be President of America. Heck, even Juan Williams over on Fox News got choked up...

Thoughts on Joe the Plumber (10/23/08)
Somebody should tell Joe the Plumber to get his head out of the toilet it's stuck in and breathe some fresh air. Maybe that will bring him to his senses. Anyone who makes more money is going to pay more income taxes, no matter who the next President is. That's the way the system works...

They're leaving one fine mess (10/02/08)

The rich just keep getting richer (08/29/08)
Now that school has started, social studies teachers across the country are about to tell their students that one of the great things about America is that we're all equal. They will also tell them that, in America, justice is blind. In both cases they will be lying their behinds off...

Democratic convention to dominate airwaves (08/22/08)
If you aren't already sick of seeing Barack Obama every time you turn the TV on, you will be by this time next week. Next Wednesday will be the third night of the Democratic Convention. On CBS, NBC and ABC it will be all Obama during prime time...

How to get political publicity (08/07/08)
I started getting an idea last week that the best way to use television when you run for President is to make and ad that is so over the top that the three all news channels will show it over and over. You could five it a limited run in say, New York and Los Angeles where CNN, FOX and MSNBC would be sure to see it. Then you just sit back and enjoy all of the free publicity...

No intelligent life here (07/31/08)
Every week Sports Illustrated gives an example that the apocalypse is almost upon us. After the last two weeks, I've got a couple of nominees for that feature. My first nominee is one that I never thought I would see. ...

Decisions, decisions, decisions (07/03/08)
Decisions, Decisions How about that Supreme Court! Those justices are such cut-ups. You just never know what they're gonna do. They're more fun than watching George W. take English lessons. Two weeks ago, acting like that old liberal Warren Court, it ruled that all of those people we've put in prison during the war on terror have the right of due process...
