They are the ones who have the sway in Iraq, not us or the Iraqi government. How long will we allow conservative pigheadedness to dictate our foreign policy?

What Is The Fascination With The NCAA Tournament?

1:56 am EST March 31st, 2008 | Sports | 24 Comments

Every March I wonder this. I am admittedly not a basketball fan, and if I do watch I watch a pro game over a college one. But every March the hype machine goes to 11, people fill out brackets (something I’ve never done) and a school or two makes it further than they should as the “Cinderella” team. Has the Cinderella team ever won it? Considering all the #1 seeds made the Final Four, is there a point?

I mean, besides the cheerleaders.

 

The Gospel Of American Politics

According to the Right Honorable August J Pollak

There is not a single instance of political discourse in the history of this nation in which the participants did not want to simply kick their opponent in the balls.

Verily, he doth tell the truth.

Republican Recession Watch: Food Stamp Usage Up

11:01 pm EST March 30th, 2008 | Republicans | 4 Comments

Clearly the solution to this is another tax cut for Paris Hilton.

Driven by a painful mix of layoffs and rising food and fuel prices, the number of Americans receiving food stamps is projected to reach 28 million in the coming year, the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s.

The number of recipients, who must have near-poverty incomes to qualify for benefits averaging $100 a month per family member, has fluctuated over the years along with economic conditions, eligibility rules, enlistment drives and natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, which led to a spike in the South.

But recent rises in many states appear to be resulting mainly from the economic slowdown, officials and experts say, as well as inflation in prices of basic goods that leave more families feeling pinched. Citing expected growth in unemployment, the Congressional Budget Office this month projected a continued increase in the monthly number of recipients in the next fiscal year, starting Oct. 1 — to 28 million, up from 27.8 million in 2008, and 26.5 million in 2007.

As Archie and Edith Bunker sang…

Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Team Entitlement

10:47 pm EST March 30th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 6 Comments

A peek inside the mind of the diehard Clinton crowd: Obama should run as her vice president and the convention date should be moved because the annointed one is annoyed that people find her campaign now Quixotic at best.

By that token the NFL should just give me the Lombardi now because its clear that I can coach a team to the Superbowl because I won a game in Madden, once.

52-42

10:14 pm EST March 30th, 2008 | Democrats | 9 Comments

I’m not wild about the polling that’s been done this cycle – and clearly nobody should pay any attention to Zogby polls, but I think this Gallup poll is of note: Sen. Obama leads Sen. Clinton 52% to 42%, now I’m sure after they’ve cited these numbers before the Clinton campaign (and their blogosphere apologists) will tell us this doesn’t matter, but Sen. Clinton has lost more ground for her attacks on Obama and lies about Bosnia than Sen. Obama ever did over the trumped up Jeremiah Wright “controversy”.

Sen. Clinton can protest the nomination all the way up to inauguration day if she likes, there’s no law that says she has to drop out, but after she’s given a victory in Pennsylvania, Sen. Obama and I believe the superdelegates can start focusing on Sen. Obama’s fight vs. John Mccain this November.

UPDATE: Yes, we can.

Slowly but steadily, a string of Democratic Party figures is taking Barack Obama’s side in the presidential nominating race and raising the pressure on Hillary Clinton to give up.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is expected to endorse Sen. Obama Monday, according to a Democrat familiar with her plans. Meanwhile, North Carolina’s seven Democratic House members are poised to endorse Sen. Obama as a group — just one has so far — before that state’s May 6 primary, several Democrats say.

Bush, like Cheney, was booed throwing out the opening pitch for the Nationals. Disliking the president is the new national pastime.
