How to Steal $700 Billion in 3 Steps?

If you want to be rich, take notes ... like any bank robbery, you must plan it and most importantly execute it with little mistakes.

First, you want to be a bank, preferably in the United States. Second, you want to start giving away all your money so that the Government has to step in to give you some more money because you messed up pretty bad the first time around. Finally, take the money and when anyone comes around snooping around asking questions about what you did with the money ... plead the fifth.

Pretty simple, right?

Obama and Warren Sitting in a Tree ...

Listen my Liberal ... Progressive friends that are outraged about Barack Obama asking Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration ... Take a Chill Pill!

Please, your reaction to what Obama has been doing these past few weeks is shameful and not representative of true Progressive values. We are the party of understanding, empathy, compromise and most important, open-minded thinking ... willing to entertain any issue as rational people.

It is sad to see the reactions of some in the blogosphere … the ravage outrage, even before Obama has taken his oath, is depressing. This is the type of reaction that I would expect from the other side … since their party is known to be close-minded.  Read More »


$1 a Gallon Gasoline in My Lifetime?

If you told me 4 months ago that gasoline could drop as low as $1, I would called you crazy. I would have even gambled on it reaching $5 before it ever went back to $1. Well, it seems with the steady drop of crude oil, gasoline may once again reach pre-Bush levels of $1.

In fact, it is speculated that gasoline may go for 90 cents by January. In a time where everyone else should be ecstatic about the drop, that is not the case. Economic times are so hard that people cannot afford to do anything with their $1 a gallon gasoline.  Read More »


Supreme Court will Review Obama’s Citizenship

Sometimes conservatives do not know when to stop. Take for example the Barack Obama citizenship issue.

Even after Politifact, Snopes and FactCheck confirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii and that his birth certificate checked in, they are not content. Alan Keyes has filed suit to halt California from giving their electoral votes to Obama. Even though this was turned down, it did not stop some other lunatic from attempting the stunt.  Read More »


On the Joe Lieberman Acquittal

If I were not rational, pragmatic or relied on emotions … I would probably call for Joe Lieberman’s blood. “Feed him to the wolves,” I would proclaim but at the end of the day that is not how it occurred or did it?

Senate Democrats secretly voted to decide the fate of Lieberman and nothing happened. Surprising? Not really and here is why.

First, we need to know what got Lieberman into this mess. Well that is quite elementary you see; Lieberman’s role in the John McCain camp was disrespectful, dishonorable and cutthroat.

Not only did he campaign for John McCain, he spoke at the Republican Convention where he served as a surrogate for the McCain camp. He danced to the tune of the GOP and helped spread a message of hate and lies abut the Barack Obama campaign.  Read More »


Voting Machines Flipping Votes?

I am looking for and trying to follow any stories of voting irregularities that may be occurring this election. Early voting just began this week and machines are already up to their shenanigans that created a circus of the 2000 election.

There are machines that are flipping votes from Barack Obama to John McCain. I read about it in the Houston Chronicle and thought it was an isolated case but now I am starting to think that it may not be.

The Houston Chronicle reports that, “County Clerk Beverly Kaufman's office was informed early Monday that some of the first voters had cast straight-ticket Democratic ballots only to discover that the machines had recorded their presidential vote as Republican.”  Read More »


Spinning the Powell Endorsement

So, a day later after Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama, how did the right spin the endorsement? They used the race card and claimed that Powell did it because Obama is black.

Rush Limbaugh, who said, "Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race... OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."  Read More »


What does Sarah Palin’s Scandal Mean?

Cody Talley did a great job describing the finding in the ethics investigation against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. But, what does this mean for the McCain/Palin ticket and the Election?

How did McCain attempt to spin his way out of this mess? Luckily for us the McCain/Palin camp has released a statement on the ‘Troopergate’ Report. Meg Stapleton issued the following statement:  Read More »


The Change that the Maverick Claims to Bring

When John McCain and his campaign touted victory on the Sunday press circuit, no one challenged their assertions because the legislation had yet to be voted on. Today, the DOW took the biggest plunge in a single day.

The McCain campaign and House Republicans began to spin the outcome and blames Barack Obama and Democrats for not passing the bill. Barack Obama handled the matter like a statesman by reminding voters at a campaign rally in Denver to "stay calm, because things are never smooth in Congress." John McCain on the other hand accused Barack Obama and Democrats of putting “politics ahead of country."  Read More »


McCain Fails in Choosing VP

palin.jpg

Less than 24 hours after Barack Obama gave a historic speech accepting the Democratic nomination that was viewed by over 38 million people, McCain announced to the world that his Vice President would be Sarah Palin. Who, you may ask? Palin is a social/economic conservative that is the current governor of Alaska.

If you think you feel that you have never heard of her . . . you are not alone. She is considered a political noob with less than 2 years in office as Alaska’s governor. U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX), who at one point was considered a potential VP prospect for McCain, claims, “I don't know too much about her." Even some in her party do not know much about her and who can blame them?  Read More »
