    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    Is there a surprise candidate in the GOP field? It's getting a little late to build momentum as voting in Iowa starts in less than six weeks. After Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina come quickly. Some conservative, very likely Newt, will pose as the most serious threat to Romney's ascension.

    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    I was able to watch about 90% of last night's debate and it seemed all the candidates acquitted themselves fairly well. Surprisingly, Wolf Blitzer didn't hijack the debate with his own bias. As things stand now, it appears Mitt Romney is still slightly favored to win the GOP nomination. I...

    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    Obama doesn't make himself available to unscripted interviews. Give him a difficult question and he would be wailing like a sinner on his first day in Hell.

    Tonight's debate: Newt Gingrich/Wolf Blitzer

    At 8pm tonight, CNN will televise the latest GOP debate. I, for one, hope Newt Gingrich lights in on CNN's Wolf Blitzer like a Roman candle. Too many candidates take abuse and innuendo from these so-called debate moderators. Wolf Blitzer may be in for a surprise if he tries his junk with Newt.

    100k van miles preemptive maint items

    With my Fords I never really experienced any wear and tear issues until after 200K miles. Somewhere between 200-300k, the serpentine belt is easily compromised, so I replace belts about every 100k miles. Ford's alternators often burn out around every 150k miles, so I generally replace...

    3 Americans Arrested in Cairo

    Egypt is not a safe place for Americans to be at this time. Don't have any way of knowing whether these young men actually committed any crimes, but just being there places them in real peril. At a minimum, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Studying abroad probably doesn't seem...

    Police evict protesters

    Enough of the protesters already. Do they actually fancy themselves to be some reincarnation of the Tiananmen Square movement? A crackdown is imminent, albeit a little late. Police on horseback, truncheons, water cannon, tear gas, rubber bullets.... who knows? One thing is certain, these...

    Police evict protesters

    I imagine big city mayors such as Bloomberg of NYC will conjure up all sorts of psychological ploys to shut down the OWS encampments. Whether it be the spectre of disease or crime, city leaders will declare it is in the public interest to end the Occupiers' street party. Bloomberg is a...

    The Cain Mutiny

    We may soon see a joint news conference where Cain's several female accusers all stand together on one stage to denounce his past behavior. The television images of these women standing in unison would deliver a powerful blow to Cain's political ambitions. There is no point in getting hung...

    The Cain Mutiny

    The allegations of wrongdoing will be an albtross around Herman Cain's neck until something equivalent to full disclosure happens. The power of suggestion within these allegations are enough to cast doubt in the minds of many voters. Some politicial camps have a vested interest in stopping...

    The Cain Mutiny

    Mr. Cain will be forced to address these allegations, fully and factually, or his campaign is over. Running for President is not like running a pizza company. Those who seek high public office must answer to the people and the press. Refusing to answer questions only worsens the matter for...

    The Cain Mutiny

    Now more than ever, it is essential for all presidential contenders to be fully vetted. If scandals and allegations of bad behavior clutter their past, let the disinfectant power of sunshine separate fact from fiction. Barack Obama was pretty much given a free pass by the media in 2008...

    Another babbling lunatic

    While I still prefer Rick Perry for the GOP nomination, apparently not too many others share this view. Nothing I have seen or heard from Perry has dissuaded me yet. Maybe Perry will begin to rise in the polls if Cain's troubles escalate. In the meantime, I am beginning to give Newt Gingrich...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    Just catching up on some reading here... I must say much of this discussion is dismaying and disheartening. Profit isn't a dirty word, it is an absolute necessity. Corporations exist to make a profit. Without profits, a business cannot exist. A business does not have a soul or altruistic...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    I have a hard time understanding left-wing dogma. Whereas the Tea Party movement wants lower taxes and less government in our lives, it appears The Occupiers want just the opposite: higher taxation and more government action. Have I got that right? If so, their cause doesn't seem very...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    Who are these occupiers? What do they want? Who is orchestrating these events? Seems the occupiers are darlings of left-wing media and Democrats. Why would Obama give them encouragement?

    Monday Night Football pulls Hank Williams song

    I find myself liking Fox News Channel less and less as time goes by. Once upon a time, I believed FNC gave conservatives fair coverage. Lately, it seems FNC has decided it is in their best interest to curry favor with all the wrong people. All grown up now and full of arrogance, FNC is moving...

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    AMonger... maybe you weren't here in earlier times. As an original inductee of the D-12, I assume I have continued to be a D-12 member in good standing. Maybe I missed a few secret meetings here and there, but that's no reason give anyone the boot.

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    Congressman Ron Paul is such an insufferable old fool and hypocrite. Ron Paul is little more than a poster boy for "Blame America First." By badmouthing America 24/7 and talking down our country, Ron Paul has drawn a small coterie of fringe-based support. Moreover, Ron Paul has no special...
