Oh No I May Be Becoming An Obamaniac

Is this an infectious disease, perhaps spread by reading far left blogs? I occasionally do such treacherous things, to see what they are up to. I think the Obama administration found my only weakness and is shamelessly exploiting it.

I mean, of course, the suggestion that high-speed rail, as in Europe, mentioned by our President when… »

The Second Sunday in Lent (B): “holocaust”

I heard this word—holocaust— a couple of times this morning in the first reading about the patriarch Abraham getting ready to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice, and wondered what I had missed in my reading on European history.

OK then, two nights, or more accurately, two early mornings in a row I’ve been up and reading the Gazette practically before it hits the driveway. The lead stories grab your attention: 3 newsworthy disasters, only one death, not bad, huh? If it Bleeds it Leads: 1)Baucus bleating about healthcare, apparently his assigned part of… »

The Anchoress told me to Go to Wizbang to get one of these. Isn’t America… »

Politics 101: Mr Machiavelli please call your office!

Am I becoming more dense as I grow older or is the Theatre of the Absurd we now call politics becoming even more meaningless. Yes, I know, probably both but I just cannot give in so easily to the cynicism of meaninglessness, so help me here.
Governor Blagojevich of Illinois was caught on tape doing what… »

Wall Street Journal Gangs Up On Senator Baucus

Not only does he draw some fire from the Dec 8th lead editorial, The Obama Health-Care Express, but a fellow letter writer takes him to task with the headline Baucus . . . Proposals As Comic Relief
From the senator’s Dec 2 Letter to the Editor in the Wall Street Journal:

Remember folks, if you don’t vote you have NO RIGHT to complain about your government.
Even if you’re not registered you can still vote with a provisional ballot so there really, truly, honestly is NO excuse not to vote. If you’re too lazy or… »
