It is getting to the point where one wonders just who the Republicans can offer up as a candidate in 2012. Bobby Jindal’s disastrous “Kenneth the Page” performance in delivering the GOP rebuttal to President Obama’s “state of the union as I see it” speech shortly after his inauguration was the first domino. Then, in [...]

Congressional Republicans like to think that they are standing on principle when opposing President Obama at every opportunity. But, if that is the case, they are out of step with the majority of Americans. It is little wonder that their approval rating continues to sink.
It wasn’t surprising that no House Republicans voted in favor of [...]

Two bingos! A friend and I shared 4 cards between us. She got one bingo, I got two. A mention of 9/11 would have gotten me yet another.
Gov. Palin acquitted herself fairly well. She didn’t melt down. She was coherent in her answers. Talk about low expectations!
Her folksy style of speaking doesn’t appeal to me, but [...]
