TWO STORIES BY BUSH THE SECOND TODAY

Today, you’re going to hear two amazing stories on CBS News programs This Morning and Face the Nation—former US President George W. Bush will say that the Islamic State’s rise is his only regret about invading Iraq, and that he was surprised how now-deceased dictator Saddam Hussein remained in Iraq as a sign of disbelief […]

POLITICAL INSTABILITY IN AMERICA (AND THEREFORE, THE WORLD)

Some of you may be offended by me equating the Republican takeover of Congress with political instability—a reference that’s normally reserved for developing nations. But it’s hard to resist posting about the volatile chemistry between Party of No Brains’ new control of Capitol Hill and President Obama, the leader of the Party of No Guts. Just […]

GOP DIDN’T GIVE UP THE GHOST THIS MIDTERM

Remember when people talked about The End of the Old White Men’s Party, also known as the GOP? I always thought that story was rubbish. In fact, I think placing Conservatism on death watch is about as dumb as those predictions about how South Africa will rid itself of oligarchs and magically embrace equality after Nelson […]

TEAM OBAMA ENABLED FERGUSON INJUSTICE

On the one hand, you have President Obama—albeit late—discussing Ferguson, Missouri and the Michael Brown shooting as examples of America’s imperfect and unjust criminal justice system, while the other has one of the President’s federal agencies creating a no-fly zone over Ferguson this past August so that that media helicopters could not record the police […]

WHAT THE US SHOULD REALLY INVESTIGATE IN FERGUSON

The strong possibility that the US Justice Department will not pursue civil rights violation charges against Officer Darryl Wilson for shooting Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri may not bode well for the simmering temperaments in the area, but I always thought that focusing solely on Brown’s unfortunate death misses a much larger Federal investigation […]

WHAT COULD BE OBAMA’S LEGACY

President Obama’s visual legacy may have nothing to do with the slow economic recovery, health care reform, NSA follies, dog-hating fence jumpers or the fact that the President hasn’t jailed a single large banksta for the 2008 financial markets meltdown. But the possibility that America could lose whatever little control it has over Baghdad […]

THE PARTY FOR SEGREGATION!

New readers who wonder why I call American Democrats the Party of No Guts and Republicans the Party of No Brains can look to East-West Gateway’s latest Where We Stand report (pdf) on St. Louis Racial segregation for part of my reasoning. Go ahead and point out the PNBs’ legendary record of racial hang-ups to […]

WHY PEOPLE WALKED OUT OF OBAMA’S SPEECH

Why did crowds of people in Upper Marlboro, Maryland walk out during President Obama’s campaign speech for gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown? My guess Either President Obama has become a tired brand in America, or the American public is having a serious disagreement with Number 44 over what an economic recovery looks like. Think of it […]

EBOLA – REMINDS ME OF THAT FUNKADELIC SONG AGAIN

Sure, you will read tons of stories about how Ebola—just like many social and economic crises—will almost always lead to the general public isolating specific groups of people out of fear or hatred. But I think the fear mongers and their consumers are missing a larger point. Save me the “you’re missing the racial angle” lecture. I […]

WHY DEMOCRATS CAN LOSE THE SENATE THIS NOVEMBER

In the coming mid-term election battle between the Party of No Brains and the Party of No Guts, you will hear the latter point to the much-improved US economy as a reason for why they must maintain control over the Senate and retake the House. But this chart published by Bloomberg in August explains why Democrats […]
