One Year After Obama's Election: Still Smarter… Than The Alternative

3 days ago by Chris Weigant

The day before I cast my vote for Barack Obama, I wrote a column titled "Barack Obama Is Smarter Than Us."

Oops! In Major Turnaround Politico Confirms Possible Hoffman Surge to Lead ...

5 days ago by susanbonner

I know that this is old news, but it has to be brought to the “Fore”, because, yet again, news people are asses now. You do not have to know facts any more.

Once upon a time not so very long ago – in fact it was just last year – there was a fairy-tale story about an US Presidential candidate that was traveling around the nation singing his own praises of hope and change. He was boasting about how he would cleanup the beleaguered quagmire that has become ...
