A Well-groomed and Polished Trojan Horse

Who is Barack Obama -- really? He appeared on the national scene, seemingly out of nowhere, and became the Democratic Party's candidate for President. He has a laughably thin political track record. His major accomplishment while in office has been running for another office. We know he's an uncommonly slick snake-oil salesman, who’s adept at writing disingenuous, self-promoting books. What else do we know? The Presidential Election is fast approaching, and time's running out. So, who is this guy?

The Cat’s Out of the Bag

NOW -- the National Organization for Women -- has finally, and irrevocably, been outed as being the intolerant, elitist, fringe-element that it truly is. Their attacks against Sarah Palin have shown clearly, once and for all, that NOW does not represent most women, but only the rather small minority who fit the NOW ideological profile.

A Handy Guide to the Presidential Debates

My daughter is one of those who are still making up their mind as to who to vote for in the Presidential Election. I talked to her after the First Presidential Debate, and she was more confused than ever. She told me that she and some girlfriends had watched the debate, and felt that it was a shame that both men couldn’t be President. “I mean, I know they can’t, but it would be nice if they could.”

Burning Down the Straw-man

First let me get this out of the way. Recently I wrote an article headlined, "Heather Mallick is a Poo-poo Head." Does that headline sound childish, immature, petulant? I hope so.

Heather Mallick is a Poo-poo Head

As is now well known, Heather Mallick posted a childishly malicious attack against Sarah Palin on Mallick’s CBC sponsored blog-site. I generally don’t like ad hominem attacks at all – whether they come from the left or right of the political spectrum, but I found Mallick’s comments about Governor Palin to be especially mean and distasteful.
