Not a lot of time for commentary today as I want to get these posted before taping because it hasn’t been working out well when I try to do them after. First clip features the Whitest Guy On MSNBC (he just had his name legally changed to that) trying to tell Herman Cain that he’s [...]

At least they can blame racism when it finally happens here. Anyone feeling smug about the Greek crisis should take a quick dekko at our own statistics. Spending in April and May was 4.1 per cent higher than during the equivalent period in 2010. Government borrowing was £27.4 billion, up from £25.9 billion the previous [...]

Deck chairs on the Titanic. What state ranks third in unemployment, second in foreclosures, has the nation’s worst credit rating, is running a $19 billion deficit – yet insists on spending billions on a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan that can’t possibly impact global warming? Yes, it’s California, land of the Governator, who signed a [...]

Seconds on the crap sandwich, please… The “Pledge To Recapture 1994 & Prove The Tea Partiers Aren’t The Only Ones With Ideas” is still being debated by sincere, committed conservatives this morning.

In the 12 months ending in June, the union membership rate dropped from 18.3% to 17.6% in California and from 12.4% to [...]

Image is everything Since his impossible schedule prohibits Vice President Joe Biden from making it around to every stimulus spending project across the country, the government has come up with the idea of posting project signs to show your $787 billion of hard-earned future tax money at work. Even if you no longer are at [...]

Last Friday I had the good fortune to interview Pamela Gorman, a congressional candidate from my native Arizona, for PJTV. Gorman is running with nine other Republicans in AZ-03, vying to replace Rep. John Shadegg, who is retiring after serving in Congress since 1994. Gorman has a solid record of fighting tax increases and wasteful [...]

Et tu, Bob Herbert? How loud do the alarms have to get? There is an economic emergency in the country with millions upon millions of Americans riddled with fear and anxiety as they struggle with long-term joblessness, home foreclosures, personal bankruptcies and dwindling opportunities for themselves and their children. The door is being slammed on [...]

If only Harry Reid was capable of a Grinch-like epiphany. Senate Democrats are celebrating this morning for passing their version of health care reform, but voters still don’t like much of what they see. At the start of the week, 41% of voters nationwide were in favor of the health care bill, but 55% were [...]
