August 31, 2010
US President Barack Hussein Obama announced today that combat in Iraq would end August 31, 2010.
The plan he laid out also includes a provision to leave 50 thousand troops for peacekeeping purposes.
Looks like McCain will get the thousand years of occupation he said he wanted and the official fighting will be over.
YAYYYYY?????
If they really [...]
Tweety and Barney Frank rip Darryl Issa
Today’s Hardball show really goes after Issa’s “Democrat” party bullshit. Tweety calls Issa on his use of the word and reminds him that it’s the “Democratic” Party. Barney Frank holds his own with Issa.
Tweety then goes after the Rethugs for bitching and not offering anything new. No shit Sherlock!

“Activists and Candidates”
It takes both activists and candidates to make our political system work well. Each new era brings in new generations of both citizen categories.

President Obama will help Al Gore, T Boone Pickens, and Sir Richard Branson solve our energy needs and rescue the environment!
I guess at this point you are realizing that I do focus on one subject! That subject is our successful move into the future, solving our future energy needs, securing our environment for the future, and everything in between. This morning I heard a discussion about T Boone Pickens and his plan to rescue our [...]
Who exactly was Jindal talking to?
It sure wasn’t the folks in the center and it damn sure wasn’t me. His whole shtick, aka his speech, was that government is bad and tax cuts are good. Check out this quote:

Those of us who [...]
What The World Needs: A $28 Million Chair
What irony, a day after the president of the United States addresses his Congress and his nation, talking about the dire financial straights that we have got ourselves in to, someone bid’s up an old chair from Christie’s auction house’s low estimate of $2.5 million, to $28,341,909.

Well, allow me to retort…

Tonight the Big O speaketh.
Lately he resembles The Shrub, with his support of various Shrub bullshit policies…like the hell hole called Bagram, trying to quash the wiretapping court case and last but not least, the missing White House emails. WTF dude?
Needless to say, he isn’t on my list of top ten good humans recently. He is scaring me to [...]

Well…He Told Us He Was Gonna….
A recruiters office. (Tim Shaffer/Reuters)
When President Obama was running for office he told us he was going to be the President Of Change. Everywhere you look there is proof of him trying to keep his promise. The Stimulus plan shows he is at least trying to get something done about our economic climate. The fact [...]
