This whole Federal prosecutor scandal should highlight a much larger scandal: the “justice” system is political and the whole blind justice concept is nothing more than a sad myth. It is hilarious that Congress is absolutely up in arms that there may have been a political motive behind firing a whole slew of politically appointed […]

I watched the clip of the Edwards’ press conference on the news and I then suffered through the gushing press coverage. I mean, I feel sorry for Elizabeth Edwards because she has terminal cancer and she has young kids who will be without a mother. That sucks and it’s difficult to make fun of her husband […]

Now, I’m mad. Obviously, Scooter Libby made a mistake…talking to prosecutors at all. While I absolutely do not believe that Libby should be pardoned, today’s Wall Street Journal makes a compelling case at least for prosecutorial abuse of power. The simple fact is that nobody violated the law with respect to Valerie Plame and she […]

So, Obama is in and I am already figuring out why it will be very difficult for me to vote for him. First of all, Barack Obama doesn’t like me. I’m a true cynic and, according to the text of his announcement speech, it’s pretty clear that he blames cynicism for just about everything. If I were […]

So rare is it that I get a few quiet moments to have a bite to eat and read the newspaper. In fact, most days I ignore the printed newspaper because my daily addition to Bloglines renders the information in the newspaper meaningless. I usually already know everything about any interesting subject long before the […]

OK, I guess if anyone was looking for a sign that the Bush presidency has hit ground zero, I think we have found it. Of all people, our esteemed president now wants to jump on the bandwagon and criticize CEO pay. I am not saying that CEO pay is out of control and that it […]

Hillbillary’s “Evil Men” comment is the first of what I hope to be a regularly entertaing cycle over the next few months. Now that the Superbowl is about over, I need something to watch for sheer entertainment.
