Obama and the Media: Is the Critic-in-Chief Too Thin-Skinned? {Politics Daily}
Nov 10th 2009 6:10AM I do think the president, like his predecessors, is a bit thin-skinned when it comes to redundantly-hyped one-sided negative reportage. Unfortunately, this comes with the territory. So all politicians need the skin of a pachyderm to withstand the assaults, rumors and misinformation. I think the president should leave FOX alone. Forget the push-back. Let Robin Gibbs illuminate and balance the message without mentioning any networks. Isn't that why the phrase "for the record" was invented in the first place?
In Fatal Texas Beating, Silence Was Not Golden {Politics Daily}
Nov 10th 2009 5:54AM Scenes like these are played out during war time when direct involvement or confrontation could result in one being maimed or killed. Here, however, all one has to do is dial 911.
Director of '2012' Destroys Rome, Spares Mecca {Politics Daily}
Nov 7th 2009 9:11PM Well, Roland knew that Roman Catholics's, in spite of their own idiosyncratic secular rantings and ravings, would understand the Holy See's on-screen demise for what it is: blockbuster fireworks. Emmerich also knew that religionists of the other major religion would not be tolerant had his latest fire and brimstone cinema graphics included the other Holy City.
Michele Bachmann's Capitol House Call: 'Get Your Hands Off My Health Care!' {Politics Daily}
Nov 5th 2009 11:04PM Well, if Michelle had the brain to realize that health care coverage for 96% Americans equals freedom from worry and provides an umbrella to shelter those through stormy ill health, she'd have to redefine "freedom." This woman is the same who complained that if universal health care passed, she would be forced to endure long waits in the reception room before she could see a doctor! Yet, the Bachmann forgets that we, the people, pay for her cadillac insurance policy which precludes her EVER having to endure such a trauma!
Is Scientology a Cult? Is Paul Haggis the Next Martin Luther? {Politics Daily}
Oct 29th 2009 7:04PM In truth most religions are "cults." Objective scrutiny reveals that Scientology's Xenu and thetans have parallels in the inscrutable powers ascribed to Catholic saints, pagan deities and Hindu gods. Voodoo and the lesser known Abaku subject initiates to rigorous arcane rituals including what foods and clothes are and are not acceptable. Joseph Smith's own version of Xenu is the prophet Mormon. Mormon's compendium of beliefs, inscribed on golden tablets,are rooted in his dealings with Pre-Columbian civilizations over 1,000 years prior to the founding of LDS in 1830. Joseph Smith, a barely literate person, translated and interpreted these tablets. In the realm of religion, it's best to regard any adherents' faith as "to each his/her own."
Ripping Off Writers Since 1852: The Literary Industrial Complex {Politics Daily}
Oct 25th 2009 11:18AM Forget the writer's industrial complex. Why the internet has made everyone a writer. Pundits, plagiarists, profiteers, prepubescents, even politicians, have taken to pounding on the their keyboard sending, at the click of button, their thoughts along with solecisms and synretism rife with grammatical errors - around the world in a nanosecond. What most bang out is another story. But one person's passion for facts, factions or fiction can be another person's passion,faction or fiction too, so everybody can find something they like and feel happy and connected to similar minds. And best of all, it's free. Forget Iowa and Sewanee.
Latest Round-Up of Obama Poll Ratings by State {Politics Daily}
Oct 25th 2009 10:48AM One can have ancestors or parents who have different ethnicities, IE, Black and Irish or like the president, White and Black. Or like me, even four, IE, French-Vietnamese and Nyorican.

Oct 25th 2009 10:38AM Perhaps, Ms Wilson contracted the flu from her porcine partner, Joe. Though there's no hope for HIM, hope she gets well.
Why Is Dick Cheney Helping Obama? {Politics Daily}
Oct 25th 2009 10:36AM While some comments accuse Scorn of perpetrating a liberal attack on Cheney and others make note of Cheney's security "experience," facts are facts. Whatever our political POV, when impartially examining Cheney's performance during his 8 year tenure one must ask candidly WHAT exactly did HE do to make America more secure? FACT: he ignored warnings about ben Laden fixating instead on Sadaam. FACT: it was during his watch that America was attacked by terrorists. FACT: he and the administration propagandized the WMD myth, used it to invade Iraq as a consequence was forced to put Afghanistan on the back burner while focusing on the protracted civil war that killed so many Americans. FACT: he and his cohort Rumsfeld neglected to increase troops in Afghanistan instead drawing off troops to augment the Iraqi surge. FACT: as a result of Cheney and company's reduction of troops already spread thin, the Taliban regained territory. FACT: Cheney didn't do much in the way of improving our national security but he did help start two wars which we have not won! FACT: Cheney pushed through the spy-on American citizens' Patriots Act in an effort to squash any negative backlash: he knew the escalating failures of the wars would eventually provoke a national outcry. FACT: Cheney's anti-Obama statements testify to another FACT: due to his overwhelming pride and sense of righteousness, he is incapable of making any honest self-appraisal of his actions. FACT: Cheney remains a megalomaniac obsessed with delusions of grandeur.
