Hillary Clinton and Barney Frank
Throw Momma Under The Train
I never liked the idea of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. When President Obama announced that he was choosing her and played up the idea of a “Team of Rivals” (an expression I quickly grew tired of) I shivered at the thought of Hillary in such a high profile position. [...]
Jeb Bush, the Pope, and Bill Clinton
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you might have noticed that I’m about to change locations. After six years of living and working in the Dominican Republic I’ve decided it’s time to “pop smoke” as we used to say in the U.S. Army (which means to literally activate smoke canisters so you can [...]
Obama’s Image, Somali Pirates, and Sarah Palin
One of the things I’ve always liked about Obama is that he projects a “cool” image without making it look like he’s trying too hard. Contrast that with the wooden, grumpy John McCain that we saw during the election and it’s easy to see why he has such celebrity power. He’s easy to look up [...]
Hillary’s Hunger and Bubba’s Baggage
A reader asks:
“What, no comment on Hillary for Sec. of State?”
I’m hoping that the drama around this is just drama. Hillary news sells papers and drives web traffic. I for one do not want the Clintons back in the White House in any capacity. This is supposed to be change. Dragging Hillary (a power-hungry, pathological [...]
4 Tips for Hillary Clinton
As the Hillary Clinton campaign’s death rattle gets louder and louder, I’ve decided to offer her some unsolicited advice. Personally, I reached “Hillary fatigue” a long time ago, but during this campaign I have come to realize that beneath her murky exterior is an incredibly intelligent and well-read woman. Obama was wise to pass on [...]
How Bill and Hillary Clinton Made Their Money
Have you ever wondered why the US$100 bill is sometimes called a “C-note”? Well, wonder no longer! Thanks to the recent release of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s tax returns we now know. They’re called C-notes because so many of them belong to the Clintons.
Bashing Obama
During the 1988 Presidential election a CNN poll was conducted that asked the following question:
“Does it bother you that Dan Quayle used his father’s influence to avoid serving in Vietnam?”
Notice anything? Obviously, the question assumes that he did benefit from his father’s political influence. They were not asking a question. They were broadcasting a message: [...]
Hillary’s Back-up Plan
About two years ago a British friend of mine predicted that Hillary Clinton would be the next POTUS. He has continued to remind me of his prediction every few days ever since. I told him that he just doesn’t understand American politics and that her approval numbers are lower than her overall negatives. After what [...]
The Manchester Debates (Part II – Democrats)
As for the Democrats…
Edwards – I have to admit that I am not a big fan of the accent. Then again, I grew up in Massachusetts so who am I to throw stones. Edwards came off as a fierce, passionate advocate for the middle class – exactly what he isn’t. The never-ending stories about his [...]
