A pretty interesting tech article in the Post today about the 900lb gorilla in the room for Internet radio. Despite some of the best traffic numbers in their company’s short history (thank you to the iPhone) the start-up company Pandora may soon have to shutter their service. “We’re approaching a pull-the-plug kind of decision,” said [...]
On the basic assumption that Americans care only about world news at it relates ‘coups and earthquakes’, or more recently, coups, earthquakes and hostages, I thought I’d give an update of the world news today. * There was a coup in Mauritania today, but as most of you haven’t the slightest clue where that is [...]
p>This is an interesting article about how cities have basically become political ‘monocultures’ where one party dominates overwhelmingly. The trend has accelerated in the last 20 years (much to the demise of the city overall, many would say). Places like San Francisco are now so closed-minded politically they have very few new ideas despite a [...]
Pulling no punches, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer goes after the narcissism present in the Obama campaign in a blistering attack. Americans are beginning to notice Obama’s elevated opinion of himself. There’s nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential [...]
The Washington Post shocked the political world today by issuing an editorial that actually called into question something said by Barrack Obama. Yesterday in a major foreign policy speech Barrack Obama issued / clarified / refined / changed / altered / enhanced (you pick) his current view on the withdraw of US forces. The Post [...]
Ok, this is just ridiculous… In case you haven’t noticed, or are drunk on the Kool-Aid, the media kind of worships Obama. Just a few weeks ago when John McCain was in Colombia at the same time as the release of the US captives held by the FARC, instead of talking to McCain about his [...]
The bank watchdog is blasting Sentaor Schumer for the IndyMac bank failure, more or less. The immediate cause of the closing was a deposit run that began and continued after the public release of a June 26 letter to the OTS and the FDIC from Senator Charles Schumer of New York. The letter expressed concerns [...]
Former White House spokesman Tony Snow has died of cancer, according to reports on Fox News
A bit of a row is brewing in Germany between the pro-Obama Berlin city government and the more cautious Federal Government of Andrea Merkel. Obama wants to visit Berlin and speak where JFK and Reagan spoke, in front of the famous Brandenburg gate. Merkel and the government are saying ‘no dice’ as they feel it [...]
Some people have such a need for attention it is scary. Scarier than being Jack Kevorkian, Mr. Assisted Suicide? How about Dr. Death as a Congressman? As the homicide cop once said–’you have two kinds of killers, the heat of passion type, and those who just really like it.’ I’ll let you guess which one [...]
I guess it is just me but the thought of Obama speaking to a mega-crowd to accept the Democratic nomination has shades of a ‘Promise Keepers’ meeting combined with something Albert Speer could arrange. It actually gives me kind of a chill. I’m not fan of the ‘Cult of Obama’ and having a mass rally [...]
A friend of mine from my early days in Washington has an op-ed in today’s Washington Post. The Jesse Helms You Should Remember. It was written by the White House’s chief speechwriter Marc Thiessen who previously served as Jesse Helm’s press secretary. It tells a different story of Jesse and some of the things that [...]
