Mitt’s MAJOR victory was just reported on CNN. Santorum came in second. But — FOR ONCE — there was a vote that wasn’t a simplistic representation of the latest MSM hype about the MSM’s “flavor of the week” candidate. Apparently, the CPAC crowd is a bit more sophisticated than average voters who, it seems, only learn anything about the candidates when they get heavy media coverage. CPAC’s members — who are political junkies like you — already know enough about the GOP candidates and won’t... Read Full Story

Evan Newmark worries about consumer spending with witty Spencer Jakab. POTUS re-elect needs the consumer to get involved in the recovery. This will increase the growth of wholesale jobs, transportation and manufacturing jobs, that we saw in the January jobs numbers. The housing crush remains the unknown. Watching consumer sentiment also, because it moved down for January, from 64 back down to 61. Wrong direction. The virtuous circle is when the sentiment follows the jobs growth follows...

Newt. The new synonym for “boor” or “lout.” Typical self-centered asshole. Did he have the grace to call Mitt Romney and congratulate the former Massachusetts Governor for his victory in Florida? Oh, hell no. Did Mitt call and congratulate Newt when the latter won in South Carolina? Oh, HELL YES! But that is not what reveals Newt for the all-consuming narcissist that he is. It is what he did not do for Rick Santorum. It is Newt’s fundamental lack of compassion for actual people. He can... Read Full Story

Ah Obots. You are having verbal orgasms, ecstatic over the “news” that 240,000 jobs supposedly were created in January 2012. Hope and change is back. You are now ready to declare victory and vindicate the pathetic economic policies of the Obama Administration. Just one little problem–look at the actual damn numbers. I realize you kool aid drinkers assume that I hate Obama so much that I will refuse to give him credit where credit is due. Well, that just shows what a complete moron you are... Read Full Story

This clip from The Fugitive, featuring a confrontation between Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford sums it up: Seriously. You’re upset because I’m trashing Herman Cain? Mr. Serial Adulterer who claimed to be a great businessman but couldn’t organize a campaign? You’re upset because I trash Newt Gingrich? The consummate Washington insider who became wealthy by trading on his Washington contacts and now wants us to believe that he’s an outsider? And Sarah Palin? She claims to be a... Read Full Story

In the real world, there never is the “right” candidate. Why? Because they don’t exist. I think I came to this realization only recently. What can I say? And since I have a lot of years on my tires, it apparently takes a long time to figure out that all of my crushes (asexual) on presidential candidates were just that. Crushes, in which objectivity and rationality don’t have a role. Some of my candidate crushes that I am proud of: Robert F. Kennedy, George McGovern, George H. W. Bush (never... Read Full Story

For the young pups scurrying to set up a floating SEAL base in the Persian Gulf to counter potential Iranian moves to close the Straits of Hormuz they might want to take some time to read up on Operation Prime Chance , which was the Top Secret portion of what the public knew as Operation Earnest Will . Washington Post broke the story yesterday and the National Post picked it up: The Pentagon is rushing a “mothership” to the Middle East to be used by commando teams as unrest in the region...

John Kiriakou is in a world of trouble for allegedly exposing the name of an undercover CIA officer and the name of a separate CIA officer, who was not undercover but was working on a classified project. He was indicted this week by Pat Fitzgerald and faces some serious jail time. The right wing, who found every excuse in the world to justify the exposure of Valerie Plame are now in their full self-righteous hypocrisy, decrying venal act of Kiraikou . Here is the link to the complaint . I... Read Full Story

Okay, I can hear you saying under your breath, “if his lips are moving he must be lying.” Welcome to State of the Union 2012. Consider this a night of fantasy and delusion. This is Washington, DC’s version of Las Vegas. There is gambling, lying, fantasies (and sex in the congressional offices with staffers). Only one little problem–it ain’t entertaining. It is disgusting. Obama takes an undeserved victory lap for finally ordering the hit on Osama Bin Laden. That is bullshit number one. He... Read Full Story

Valerie Jarrett bullied GOP law makers Sunday at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, perhaps violating “IRS tax rules for churches’ political activities. …” First, here’s the video of the White House heavyweight speaking Sunday, the day before the national holiday that celebrates the life and work of the Reverend Martin Luther King: The Daily Caller posted a detailed story on the appropriateness — and legality — of Jarrett’s use of a church pulpit to hammer Republicans. And, as you’ll see... Read Full Story
