You Think What?

Lately we have seen and heard much about the final days of the Bush administration. We have been told by the spinmeisters that the current president, George Walker Bush, is a good deal smarter than we know.  We are told he reads several books a year. In fact he confirmed he will be writing a book. Imagine the number of jokes that can be made from that announcement alone. He gives nicknames to staffers and cabinet members. We are told he’s caring and compassionate. He’s just a regular elitist rich guy. (more…)

Much controversy continues to surround president-elect Barack Obama’s choice of Rev. Rick Warren to give the invocation at his upcoming inaugural ceremony on January 20, 2009.

Warren is very popular among the Christian right. He is the California mega-church, anti-gay marriage pastor, who during the campaign last fall held a meeting at the Saddleback church which featured the Republican candidate and President-elect Obama. (more…)

On Wednesday, December 24, 2008 The New York Times published a report stating Federal regulators have approved the section of General Motors that handles financing, for cars and for homes, to become a bank in order to access billions of dollars of government subsidies, an action believed by the Fed Res to be a crucial step to insure the company’s survival.

We believe someone at the New York Times made a grave error when they selected Nicholas Confessore, (NC) and David Halbfinger, (DH) to interview Caroline Kennedy,the daughter of the late president, about her interest in being appointed to the soon to be vacant senatorial seat for the great state of New York.

Not only did they wrongly conclude that Kennedy is, “less of a candidate than the idea of one” but they themselves did little to impress the attorney and mother of three. We read the interview. NYT should have sent some real men to interview Kennedy. (more…)
