Return to 1999

Aggregated from: Gray Falcon

Given the current state of the country, and its standing abroad, I'm not sure whether to say "'Grats" or "Sorry." Ma...

Fred Thompson Speaks to Americans

Aggregated from: PoliGazette

The Republican National Committee recently released quite an interesting video of former Senator Fred Thompson. In the video, Thompson sits calmly behind his desk, looks into the camera directly, and addresses the American people in a reasonable, calm manner, without too much ado. It’s one of ...

Where to Point the Blame for the Financial Crisis

Aggregated from: The Strong Conservative

Obama and the Democrats seem intent on pinning the current financial crisis on the Bush Administration and the Republicans. In some ways, the Democrats are right in that the GOP and Bush share in the blame for the crisis, but when pointing fingers they should notice that 3 are point right back at th...

A Global Review of the U.S. Election

The death of a postmodern novelist. Teetering Wall Street Banks. A hurricane wreaking havoc in Texas. Yet, the Jewish blogger PatriotMissive points out that the top five stories E-mailed from the New York Times this weekend are either accounts about Sarah Palin (who earns the top spots) or her running mate, John McCain.

Spot on

Aggregated from: Rantings of a Sandmonkey » American politics

At First, it was a snarky paragraph in an anti-Obama piece  But, rhythmically, it's quite alluring. It can make anything, even, for example, a simple chair, seem magnificent. Why vote for someone who says: 'See that chair. You can sit on it' when you can have someone like Obama say...

What the Huck?

Aggregated from: Pickled Politics » United States

Amongst all the Obama hype, its easy to forget that Mike Huckabee winning the Republican caucuses in Iowa is almost as important a story. The reason why Huckabee is important is that for the first time in many years there is a serious Republican Candidate who hasn’t signed up to a laissez-fair...

My early predictions for the US elections

Aggregated from: Pickled Politics » United States

I’m not predicting right now who will become President or even be the nominee for each of the parties: Democrat or Republican. But I think this is what will happen over the next few weeks. [For the uninitiated: Right now each party is picking its nominee, with elections in each state (to attra...
