Connection between Iran missile tests and oil price jump?

Just some quick speculation about a theory I discussed a long time ago. That theory was that Madman Mahmoud Ahmedijenad was using his jingoism and anti-Israeli rhetoric to manipulate the oil market in his favor. If he wanted more money from oil, he'd open his yap, scare the bejabbers out of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Striesand: Obama gives hope that we can lift others out of poverty!

No kidding, that’s what the great helper of the poor, Barbara Striesand, says about Barack “Rookie” Obama. (By the way, about the nickname – that’s what he is, a rookie. This man is as green as they come. Even George W. Bush – heck, even Jimmy Carter – had more experience suitable for the Oval... Sign in to see full entry.

Do American Atrocities Mean we Shouldn't Celebrate the Fourth of July?

In a column at http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/22751619.html, Chris Satullo of the Philadelphia Inquirer urges that the Fourth of July not be celebrated this year. Here’s what he had to say about it: Chris Satullo: A not-so-glorious Fourth U.S. atrocities are unworthy of our heritage. By... Sign in to see full entry.

Don’t Stop with Unity and Independence – Obama Needs to Go Here, Too!

Last week, Shrillary and Obama kissed and made up – galling though it must have been to her – at Unity, New Hampshire. Today, Obama – disciple of the America-hating Reverend Jeremiah Wright – gave a speech on patriotism in Independence, Missouri. Well, now. Since the Obama campaign is so into...

The Clinton Gang’s Worst Nightmare

Back on the first of this month, I offered the following comment at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/547886 on how the Shrillary campaign had evidently been deceived by its own spin: “To judge by the conversation between Terry McAuliffe (her campaign chairman) and George...

California Wildfires Demonstrate Journalistic Malpractice

The inability of the lamestream news media to report disasters accurately is legendary. From reports that the house in which I was sleeping as a child had been destroyed with the rest of my home town in a tsunami to a geologist being asked breathlessly how many unknown earthquake faults underlie Los...

Are Republicans racists, engaging in race-baiting attacks on Obama?

Yes, according to Obama himself, as I discussed yesterday. As a followup to this posting, I have a challenge for Obama: Prove it. Provide evidence of race-based Republican campaign ads, against him or any black candidate. Or, be identified as a liar who engages in the cheapest and crassest of smear...

Is Criticism of Obama Inherently Racist?

Senator Obama, who has made much about how wants to be a unifier, has again shown himself to be anything but. He is introducing race – his own – into the presidential campaign, in what his lamestream media supporters say is a brilliant and humorous way of deflecting what he and they expect will be...

Are You Better Off Now than Eight Years Ago?

I think I’ve discovered why Democrats are refusing to take any action of any kind that could possibly have a positive effect on the economy in general or, specifically, energy price$. It’s so they can score cheap political points by asking us the clichéd old question as the election approaches, “... Sign in to see full entry.
