I find some of the antics of our politicians quite amusing. At times, it is very depressing. This is one of those times. Recently, Michelle Obama was promoting breast feeding of children. In spite of the fact that she is not a politician or has any policymaking powers, Sara Palin™, Michelle Bachmann, and Rush Limbaugh… [Read more…]

Today seems to be a good day for giving people The Bird. As part of the Republican plan in Wisconsin to fix budget problems, governor Scott Walker is endorsing measures that all but gut unions. This is not a post about the merits or lack of which in these measures. What is the most interesting… [Read more…]

The conservatives are having their yearly get together to see who is or is not truly conservative. During the festivities Ann Coulter gave a speech and during the Q&A portion she made the following statement. “What do you mean knowing that there are jailed journalists? I think there should be more jailed journalists.” There we… [Read more…]

Only weeks after the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords and after calls for more civility in rhetoric, Democrat House representative Steve Cohen compares the Republicans to Nazis. There is simply no excuse for Cohen’s statements especially when the Republicans, the tea party movement, and the right-leaning media have been rightfully criticized for doing the same… [Read more…]

Just to let you know, if you are a tea partier, you are a racist. We all know what you do on the weekends. You get together and run down some Kenyans in a beat up old truck and your Sunday finest includes a white hood. At least, that is what the NAACP wants everybody… [Read more…]

One of the candidates for the congress seat held by Andre Carson said that he can win because, “I’m a Christian and he’s a whatever.” Maybe I am being a bit too cynical but just what does he really mean by “whatever.” Here is the thing Wayne Harmon… that kind of attack might work in… [Read more…]

As I have mentioned in an earlier post, the capital improvements board in Indianapolis is suffering from a shortfall in its operating costs. Since then, the Pacers have decided that they cannot/should not live up to the agreement that they made for Conseco Fieldhouse. This made the shortfall even worse because the transitional mayor won’t… [Read more…]

In spite of the fact that I do not support the tea parties because of the involvement of special interest groups, that does not mean that certain mental lightweights need to be exposed. Today’s mental lightweight of interest is Janeane Garofalo, an actress. Her career includes of being a comedienne (never heard of her), and talk… [Read more…]

Just because I think that these tea parties are not sincere and organized by special interests, it does not mean that I approve of the status quo when it comes to taxes. On the contrary, I too believe that they are too high but let’s be honest; nobody has ever said that their taxes are… [Read more…]

You know, I was thinking about discontinuing my use of “The Bird” as a category. However, Boortz said something today that makes me reconsider. During his show today, right before his “information overload” hour, he was talking about what criteria that one should use to downsize a company. The first things out of his mouth… [Read more…]

I guess since he is a radio blow hard, it should not be of any surprise. For the past couple of days, he’s been going on about people living in section 8 housing. He was going on about how one should not live in any neighborhood where there is no section 8 housing. That’s his… [Read more…]
