MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

Palin resigns

Chris — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:15:00 +0000

Maybe she didn’t want to be president as badly as her fans wanted her to? I don’t know. What I do know is that this is a killer for most careers and more that likely will be for her. However, just as Obama rode a perfect storm to the White House, maybe [...]

The Stimulus Has Failed

Lord Bitememan — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:20:40 +0000

Mr. Obama came into office betting all his hopes on recovering the nation’s economy through a massive stimulus package. Well, that’s failed. The stimulus was supposed to make unemployment go down, not up. Now we’re deeper in debt, worse off for employment, and Mr. Obama owns it all now. Remember way back when, when this [...]

Sanford Should Resign

Lord Bitememan — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:40:43 +0000

Mark Sanford purports to be a conservative. Well, last I checked, family values are an important aspect of conservatism. Sanford has admitted to an affair, and while the decision on whether or not he stays married is the domain of his family, his state and his party deserve far better than a hypocrite. [...]

Fate Removes Another Prospect

Lord Bitememan — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:04:22 +0000

So, 2012 prospect Jon Huntsman is going on exile. . . .errr. . . appointment to an ambassadorial position in China. Of course, he wasn’t our only ace in the hole. Well, wasn’t. We had Mark Sanford, but, I guess he has a tendency to flake out and go run off into the [...]

You Try, But You Just Can’t

Lord Bitememan — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 17:43:13 +0000

I try to root for Mousavi and this young, freedom-loving mass of Iranians out there, I really do. Then, Mousavi opens his flap about how he’s ready to be a martyr, and I just can’t bring myself to do it. In all honesty I didn’t really ever think it mattered who won this [...]

Allah’s Tiananmen Moment

Lord Bitememan — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:31:20 +0000

Were you all watching it!? I know I was! Just look at those demonstrators out there! They’re fed up! They’re fed up of the censorship, the control of their lives, the dictatorship. They’re fed up, and they’re demonstrating for change. Surely democracy is just around the corner in China! Remember [...]

Did he really win?

Lord Bitememan — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:55:36 +0000

Recently the Iranians had themselves a little election of sorts. One has to add emphasis and italics when referring to anything the Iranians do in democratic terms. The winner of every election in Iran would be the clerical council. The chosen President in this election goes on to wield very little actual power. So, the [...]

A Tale of Two Hate Speeches

Lord Bitememan — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:08:43 +0000

Let me preface my remarks by saying this: James von Brunn is a vile racist murdering son of a bitch who should get his turn on the chair for what he did. Fifty James von Brunn’s aren’t worth one Stephen Johns, we are worse off without Johns, and will little miss Brunn when his small [...]

Capone Care Coming To You!

Lord Bitememan — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:36:49 +0000

Al Capone once said “you can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.” Al Capone could have written the House Democrats new health care bill. The kind word? The government is going to offer you a somewhat cheaper competing healthcare plan to private insurers. [...]

Game 7

Life, the universe and everything

Chris — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:18:02 +0000

Life has a way of throwing stuff at you that you never see coming. You could see it, if you were looking for it or even paying attention, but, you’re not, and it hits you upside the head. I have been neglecting my family for stuff like Facebook and blogs. I [...]

What If He’s Not Closing It. . .

Lord Bitememan — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 00:57:11 +0000

Like most everyone I’m tempted to accept the argument that Obama is something of a lightweight liberal who takes liberal stances following his heart and not his head. Then, I slow down and ask “but is that necessarily true?” I do this mainly because the one maxim I’ve always taken with me into politics is [...]
