First Get Your Definitions Straight

Sometimes asking the most basic questions gets you amazing answers.

On Good Morning America someone asked Mitt how he defined a middle class income.

His answer - $200,000 to $250,000 a year.  That's his concept of middle class.

Which means that anyone making under $200,000 would be considered… Read full post »

Terrorism With Blasphemous Intent

When a terrorist builds a bomb and then throws it into a crowd, he doesn't care who gets hurt.  He merely wants destruction.

The Man Who Would Cheat G-d

Rats, Mittens is falling apart too fast for me.  I had been in the middle of writing a piece explaining why I thought Mittens was hiding his tax returns – my theory was that he wasn’t hiding from the Dems, they weren’t going to vote for him anyway or the religious… Read full post »



One of the hallmarks of a leader is deciding who’s truly your base and then picking a good team that will believe in and support you in leading that base.  The people with whom you surround yourself can either make you or break you.

Think John McCain.

Crimes Against Nature

It’s no secret that I have found many of Mitt Romney’s decisions and comments laughable.  Heck, he’s kept me in writing material ever since he took the dog on vacation. 

But writing about this feels different because within this piece I am going to ask the question that o

Mitt Romney: King of Denial

Before a person gets into politics they need to do an in-depth, soul searching personal vetting.  Not just "Do I want the job?", or "Am I willing to put in the effort for this job?" but the deep questions like "Do I have the skills needed for the job?", "Am I… Read full post »

It's no secret that Mitt Romney's greatest adversary in this campaign is himself.  Whether it's his Thurston Howell III imitation, his diplomatic cluelessness, or his pathelogical inability to tell the truth, he spends more time untangling himself from his own messes than he does campaigning aga… Read full post »
