The VRWC is BACK

September 30th, 2009 – 9:15 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Continuing our unintended series of “Why Ex-Presidents Should Just Shut Up”, Bill Clinton has thrust himself back into the news this week by insisting that the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” is back in action.  For those with short memories or young lives, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (let’s call it the VRWC for short) is [...]

A Dog of a Different Color

July 28th, 2009 – 6:48 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Back in the day, John McCain was the darling of the national media. The main stream news-types wrote no end of stories, lauding McCain as a “maverick” because he broke with his party on a number of issues. The media mainly loved writing these stories because they made President Bush look like a [...]

The Birth Certificate

July 21st, 2009 – 7:30 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Apparently, my  “What If?” scenario a few weeks back has perked up a few ears. It turns out that it isn’t just the right-wing extremist conspiracy-theory nut jobs (RWECTNJs) who believe that there may be something to the “Barack Obama was not born in the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as [...]

What If?

July 7th, 2009 – 9:41 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

This week, just for fun, let us consider a “What If?” scenario. What if the right-wing extremist conspiracy-theory nut jobs (RWECTNJs) are right about President Obama’s birth certificate? I know, I know. These are the same tinfoil hat wearers who argue that the moon landing was faked and the government is holding [...]

Defending the Indefensible

June 30th, 2009 – 10:29 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford admitted this week that he has been carrying on an extramarital affair. That was the second most shocking thing that he admitted, the first being that he ditched the responsibilities of his office and his family to spend a week with his floozy… ahem, mistress in South America.
Sanford, the [...]

It All Depends on Your Point of View

June 16th, 2009 – 9:41 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

There were two big stories that highlighted the great political divide this past week. In case you missed one or the other: Republicans are furious with David Letterman and Liberals are furious with Carrie Prejean. In both instances, the offender said something that the offendee didn’t like one little bit.
In Letterman’s case, he mocked Alaska [...]

The Political Spectrum of a Lifetime

June 4th, 2009 – 5:19 am Posted by TK

I recently had a great conversation with Bill Hirsch, author of the best selling book – Designing Your Perfect House: Lessons from an Architect Bill had some clear and astute thoughts about how people move from liberal to conservative at different points in their lives.
The political conversation was so passionate that I wanted to [...]

The Politics of Smoking

April 21st, 2009 – 10:09 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

With a cigarette smoking president in the White House for the first time in decades and an economy in the dumps, the perennial battle between the Federal Government and the tobacco industry lobby could be a little bit more interesting than usual this year. If you haven’t been following this dance for the past [...]

The Politics of Absolute Power

March 3rd, 2009 – 11:46 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

The United States of America is now entering into a strange and uncomfortable stage where all the power of the Federal Government is consolidated on the Left. The White House and both houses of Congress are not only in the control of the Democratic Party, but the leadership has passed to the far-left of [...]

You Win Some, You Lose Some

November 18th, 2008 – 8:11 am Posted by Joe Lawrence

November has been a tough month for me.  My favorite fighter, Randy Couture was laid out in the second round by a fighter with virtually no MMA experience.  Likewise, the very experienced John McCain was beaten down by Barack Obama.
It is no secret who I wanted to win this competition.  Obama has had no significant political achievement…until [...]
