The Republican party is losing ground in the arena of public perception. According to some polls, the GOPs approval rating is now at an all time low. The question that we have to ask is, what have the Republicans done to merit such low marks?
Nothing.
The Republican party is a minority in both houses of Congress. They have almost no say in crafting legislation. All Republicans recently were locked out of the House Oversight Committee. Literally. The Chairman of the committee, a Democrat, had the locks changed so that the Republicans couldn't even enter the

As regular readers of this column, all three of them (Hi, mom!), know I usually don't poke too much fun at President Obama himself. I reserve most of my mocking for his slavish followers who worship him with a bizarre religious fervor and refuse to think critically about the consequences of anything he says or does. But as the President and his advisers mount an unprecedented attack on a major news network, it is time for me to turn the harsh light of reason onto Mr. Obama himself.

Camp Campaign has procured an exclusive transcript of the deliberations between Hans Dorfenshalter and Heinrich Waldendoof, two members of the Nobel Prize selection committee. This conversation, secretly recorded and painstakingly transcribed, details some of the heretofore unknown thought process that goes into selecting an individual for the prestigious Nobel Prize.

2016 Olympics
by Ronald A. Rowe October 6th, 2009 General Politics
The city of Chicago lost its bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. The President himself flew to Copenhagen to personally lobby the Olympic Committee to pick Chicago. Las Vegas odds makers had Chicago as a favorite to win the bid. And yet Chicago went down in ignoble defeat, knocked out in the first round. So, what can we learn from this debacle?
#1 - Copenhagen is not only a tobacco company, it is also apparently a city located somewhere outside the US.
