Debate continues to rage about plans to build the Cordoba House, a mosque and community center, some 600 feet from the Ground Zero site in New York. Many consider these plans a gross act of insensitivity. Some question motives of the project’s chief booster, Abdul Rauf, who refuses to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization [...]

I’m going to make a couple predictions: 1) Gitmo won’t be closed by the time Barack Obama is defeated in his bid for a second term. (Actually that’s two predictions) 2) At this very moment, somewhere in Yemen or the tribal regions of Pakistan, there is a man who will, in the next three years, [...]

George W. Bush flashes a picture of Saddam climbing out of his spider hole. Muammar Qaddafi soils his burkha, halts his nuclear weapons program and pays up for the Lockerbie murders. Barack Obama admonishes Qaddafi to treat released Lockerbie mass murderer Abdel Baset al-Megrahi with some firm “house arrest” after Scottish eunuc..I mean officials release [...]

The difficulty of trying choose an Idiot every week is not the dearth of candidates, but the surplus of them. This week there was no difficulty in making the selection. Leon Panetta, (appallingly) the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency says that Dick Cheney’s defense of the Bush Administration’s national security policy suggests that the [...]

According to this report from the Wall Street Journal, Congress has dealt a setback to the president’s plan to close Gitmo by next January. Well, that’s not quite true in that President Obama has no plan to close Gitmo. He has only, thus far, decreed that it be closed. Congressional Democrats are a bit skittish [...]

Idiot Of The Week – Louis Caldera

Meet Louis E. Caldera, director of the White House Military Office. Mr. Caldera, late last week, approved an Air Force mission that would send the plane which serves as the backup for Air Force One flying a thousand feet above Manhattan, escorted by two F-16s, for a photo op. Panic ensued when the aircraft appeared [...]

So this is how it’s going to be. President Obama will blame everything that goes awry with the country during his presidency on George W. Bush and take credit for what George W. Bush got right. Share on Facebook

Alas, last evening I had an attack of night terrors. I awoke in a cold sweat because I dream’t that Nancy Pelosi is third in the line of succession to the presidency. I fell out of bed and began heavily drinking when I realized that I hadn’t had a nightmare. Nancy Pelosi gets the job [...]

Much to catch up on this week. I’m just now coming down off the sedatives I took after the Eagles loss on Sunday. Suicide watch remains up, however. Fear not, in another month I’ll be throwing things at the TV again, shouting deprecations at the Flyers or Dale Earnhardt Jr. Before speaking of the present [...]

I have been a bad blogger. I’ve been under a little pressure at work and school, so the days have piled up between blogs. There are only so many words that these fingers can bang out.. But I have been writing for school and I thought I’d include some of my work here. What follows [...]
