Don't Say The "I" Word

Unlike Beetlejuice, saying the "I" three times won't make him go away

Pariah

It is as if a fog is finally lifting over DC and the press is finally seeing and writing that America is governed by the biggest scumbag to be called a president.

Rubio vs. Demint... And The Winner Is...

Looks like Rubio and it wasn't even close.

Demint overplayed his hand and in the process tarnished the reputation of one of the most reputable conservative think tanks to  the status of just another polarizing wing nut site

Hilary Waterloo?

I was curious who would be the sacrificial (or perhaps in this case, not so innocent) lamb, but it appears that Hilary is the target and the Dems aren't offering that stiff of a resistance.

Will be interesting as this unfolds and it escalates if the target changes

Dead Duck Presidency

Typically after the midterm elections of a presidents second term it is known as a lame duck president. A hostile congress is usually voted in and the president essentially becomes a placeholder for the next president. Doesn't initiate any agenda that carries over into another presidency.

But it appears that our president is already being relegated as a figurehead. His own party doesn't want his endorsement of whatever legislation they want to promote, and even the president's own projects, where he invested a lot of political capital, like the sequester and gun control, his own party rebuffed him.

Some legacy Mr. President, historically you'll be known as our first black president. Perhaps history will mention obamacare as a failed attempt at socialism.

Being known for the color of your skin is not an accomplishment, that is a bonus question on a history quiz.

Syrian Damned If You Do, Damned If You Dont

Excellent synopsis and analysis on the Syrian crisis. Regardless though, Obama bluffed on Syria and he got called out on it. The good thing is our involvement in the region is minimal to negligible. The bad is, this will embolden other players to cause chaos in the region which ultimately will lead to a larger crisis and an inevitable intervention on our part

Well said Mr. Bosser, not only does Benghazi deserve a single select committee to investigate it, but the power to assert itself on its findings

Daily Currant Strikes Again

It is one thing when a blogger, or just a typical person reposts a story from this site as a real story as opposed to what it is, a satirical site.

But it is deplorable and inexcusable that actual reporters, you know, those people unlike myself that are PAID to report and comment on the news, don't don't do the first thing taught in journalism school and that is VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY.

I'm sorry Mr. Byers, their headlines may not be blatantly humorous but their site is and you reporters need to know how to do your job

Unemployment To 7.5%

Looks like more people are dropping out of looking for work. This is the wrong way of lowering the unemployment rate.

Note to the White House: You're supposed to create jobs to lower the rate, not make the people looking for work give up hope.
