Caroline Kennedy wants, you know, to be, you know, a senator, you know

Posted at 5:40 pm in Politics

Princess Caroline is about as articulate as a valley girl. Take a look at how many times she says “you know” in one short interview.  It’s a lot, you know. Her comments are riddled with so many “you knows” that it’s almost impossible to discern the points she’s trying to make. Listening to [...]

Bush approves bailout for automakers

Posted at 10:15 pm in Business

I was very disappointed although thoroughly unsurprised that President Bush approved a $17 billion bailout for Chrysler and GM. Ford, to their credit, declined the money but supported the bailout of the other two companies because its CEO argued that Ford’s success as a company is intertwined with the success of Chrysler and GM.

Associated Press: the end of the world is nigh!

Posted at 10:02 am in Environmentalism & Politics

The Associated Press has gone apoplectic in its most recent article on global warming, declaring that the end is nigh! Obama must save us!  Ignore the deep freeze that is blanketing huge swaths of the United States.
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore. [...]

Posted at 3:20 pm in National Security

Thomas Tamm is one of the primary sources for the New York Time’s article that outed the NSA’s terrorist surviellance program.  Newsweek has a cover story on the man who did what he could to undermine President Bush’s job of protecting America.  Newsweek’s Isakoff lets us know what he thinks of Tamm with the headline [...]

Will Blago resign tomorrow?

Posted at 1:15 pm in Barack Obama & Democrats & Media & Politics & Society

That’s what the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting may happen:
Gov. Blagojevich will decide early next week — perhaps as early as Monday — whether he should resign, a source close to the governor told the Chicago Sun-Times.
“He was blindsided by this,” the source said. “He needs some time to digest what’s going on. He’s going to [...]
