It must be tough living in the Governor’s mansion during a recession. Proving that in South Carolina, backwoods coon hunting usually cures all ills, the state’s top leader, Mark Sanford, “disappeared” after a stressful few days. No one knew where he went. Not even his wife! According to the ABC News blog, Sanford left last Thursday and he [...]

BookGirl — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:21:20 +0000

Barack Obama signed a new law which tries to limit the reach tobacco companies have when advertising to children. (How awesome was Joe Biden’s hot pink tie? Love it.) The law bans tobacco companies from advertising within 1000 from schools and playground and curves their power to tempt children with “appealing flavors.” Obama said he hopes the bipartisan [...]

So I haven’t posted for a while, and honestly politics are depressing. But I’m leaving to the army soon and my routine has me quite bored, and I just read an article and I wanted to write about it. Pres. Obama visited the Prime Minister of England and, as is custom, they exchanged gifts. Prime Minister [...]

The Stimulus package already has Economist clutching their stomachs and heading for the johns. Trust me on this, my dad’s one of them.

“However long we are keepers of the public trust we should never forget that we are here as public servants and public service is a privilege. It’s not about advantaging yourself. It’s not about advancing your friends or your corporate clients. It’s not about advancing an ideological agenda or the special interests of any organization. [...]

Biden Makes Joke About Justice Roberts

BookGirl — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:34:17 +0000

Vice President Joe Biden had to swear in the Administration’s senior staff today, only he didn’t know the words. Instead of just asking for the oath script and calling it a day, he made a snide remark about Chief Justice Roberts that evidently left President Obama seeing red. Watch our new president’s reaction to Biden’s jab. During the [...]

“Everybody wants this president to succeed. It’s not in the interests of Americans or of the United States for this presidency to be a failure.” -Mark Steyn on his website, after reflecting on the long road Obama took to get here. No one likes a sore loser, so I’ll follow his example. Congratulations and good luck! [...]

Hilary waits one more day

Today, after being sworn into office, PRESIDENT Obama sat to do the traditional signing. The papers he’s signing are pretty much making the choices for his cabinet official. Hillary Clinton’s position was not signed yet. It has been postponed by Texas Senator John Cornyn. It will not happen today. She’ll most likely get in there, although [...]
