By Jennie Well, we've been through quite a selection of nuts and...more nuts, but we're nearing the end of our journey, and have finally arrived at a viable candidate. The only viable candidate, though almost paradoxically the one no one really likes. Yes, it's time to eviscerate review Willard Mitt "Mittens" Romney. Will I confirm Republicans' worst fears about Mittens … [Read more...]
Do Americans Want a President Who Abuses Animals?
While animal rights activism isn't usually a subject that gets the blood boiling in Republican voters, many animal owners were appalled to learn that their top tier Presidential candidate, former MA governor Mitt Romney, was once accused of canine abuse toward his own family pet, an Irish Setter named Seamus. This story has been reported many times in recent years. It was … [Read more...]
Marine Urination Video – Kids Do Dumb Things
"I want to be clear and unambiguous, the behavior depicted in the video is wholly inconsistent with the high standards of conduct and warrior ethos that we have demonstrated throughout our history. Rest assured that the institution of the Marine Corps will not rest until the allegations and the events surrounding them have been resolved." -- Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James … [Read more...]
A Democrat’s Take on the Republican Presidential Candidates: Rick Perry
By Jennie Oh, Rick - I've waited so long for us to be together. We've waded through so many murky waters - Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, the surprisingly sane Jon Huntsman - it seemed like this day would never come. Unfortunately, like pork left out on the counter for a couple of days instead of refrigerated, or a Hollywood star whose years of boozing and debauchery have … [Read more...]
Should States Drug Test Welfare Recipients?
By Pam Legislation that would require a clean drug test as a condition of welfare cash assistance eligibility is expected to be a hot topic in many states this year. The Department of Human Services in the state of Michigan said late last month it is in the process of developing a drug screening policy for welfare recipients. Michigan's DHS spokesperson said, “We have … [Read more...]
Michelle Obama Booed at Nascar Event
By Patty I wonder if Nascar fans woke up this morning feeling just a little ashamed of themselves? Yesterday during the last race of the season at the Homestead Miami-Speedway, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were booed as they announced "Gentleman, start your engines!" The First and Second Ladies along with a retired Army Sergeant and his family served as grand marshals of … [Read more...]
A Democrat’s Take On The Republican Presidential Candidates – Jon Huntsman
By Jennie I am cursing myself for choosing to do this series in alphabetical order. Way back at the beginning, I pondered the best order in which to review Republican presidential contenders. Obviously, the order I should've chosen was "just about to self-destruct in a glorious show of dumbassery, so get while the getting's good!" Sure, I was able to get Bachmann and Cain … [Read more...]
Bruised Hearts – The Penn State Scandal
By Anya This has been a difficult piece to write. Not because I don't know what I want to say. Rather, there are so many aspects to this story that have touched me, I scarcely know where to begin. The Penn State Scandal/Joe Paterno Scandal (if I called it the Jerry Sandusky Scandal would you know what I was talking about?) has only been on most of our radar's for a week … [Read more...]
A Democrat’s Take On The Republican Presidential Candidates – Newt Gingrich
By Jennie Ah, a fresh victim candidate. Actually, not exactly fresh; Newt Gingrich has been around since Alf Landon was a lad. (How often do you get an Alf Landon joke in your political commentary? That’s what I thought.) Or perhaps it just seems like Gingrich has been around forever, since he first came to national prominence in 1994, which was a long, long, long time … [Read more...]
A Democrat’s Take On The Republican Presidential Candidates: Herman Cain
A Democrat's Take On The Republican Presidential Candidates: Part Two In An Occasional Series By Jennie I was going to change the subtitle to "Chock Full 'O Nuts", but I didn't want to alienate my readership right away. That can wait for the second paragraph! Anyway, next on my list was going to be John Bolton. I say "was" because between the time I compiled the list and … [Read more...]
