Joe Biden speaking in Maryland this morning on a new 'domestic-violence-reduction initiative' had what I'm calling a 'Todd Akin' moment. The following is a transcript for Biden’s choice of words regarding domestic abuse: We’ve learned that certain behaviors on the part of an abuser portend much more danger than other behaviors. For example, if an abuser has attempted to strangle his victim, if he has threatened to shoot her, if he has sexually assaulted her, and there’s a number of other signs, about eight others. These are tell-tale signs to say this isn’t your garden-variety slap across the face. It is my opinion that the Vice President of the United States' choice of words regarding … [Read more...]

This was must see tv last night. I know I haven't been blogging much lately, real job keeping me very busy, but if you've ever read my stuff when I was full tilt boogie during the Presidential election you would know I'm not a big fan of Bill O'Reilly. I think he is a loud mouthed blowhard that is lucky beyond belief to occupy the time slot he does on FNC that made him rich and famous. I submit Roger Ailes created a reputable alternative from the previously monopolized solidly liberal mainstream media and Fox became a breath of fresh air to millions with serious fair and balanced reporters like Bret Baier, Jennifer Griffin, Catherine Herridge, Ed Henry and others. But I've also been … [Read more...]

It's not that it's a shocker, all conservatives know how addicted to taxes and other people's money liberals are, it's that Obama continues to broadcast and in most cases get away with chipping at every liberty Americans have held dear, the very liberties that made us great. Coming off Obama basically getting everything he wanted in the Fiscal Cliff showdown with Congress including raising the tax rate for those making $400K (the rich LOL) to 39.6% and allowing the payroll tax holiday to expire raising taxes on EVERYONE who receives a paycheck 2% per payday (middle class) David plouffe let George Stephanopoulos know that was not enough. Plouffe said on This Week "the only way the President … [Read more...]

I have been at times hard on Rush because I believe a lot of what he does is more for entertainment value, appealing to the least among us which always comes in larger numbers giving El-Rushbo a huge market thereby commanding platinum level advertising rates on his mammoth EIB Network. I was specifically hard on Rush when he made Sandra Fluke famous, I said the day he called her a "slut" she would become a household name. That's exactly what has happened with Fluke even procuring a prime time speaking spot at the Democratic National Convention. But Rush can be right, spot on right. It's my estimation what Rush had to say today regarding House republicans backing away from the fiscal … [Read more...]

First, the Soul Train awards still exist? I know Jamie Foxx is a comedian and was likely using his "comedic license" to have a little fun, after all, if you are a comedian you can get away with saying anything. Just ask Bill Maher and all the women he has called the "c" word and any number of misogynistic names, Maher is a comedian so calling women the "c" word is funny. Don't you get it? For me, it wasn't Foxx's calling Obama "our Lord and Savior" schtick that was noteworthy, it was the audience response to what he said that is telling. Did anyone hear a gasp? I didn't hear anyone shocked Foxx called Obama "our Lord and Savior," I heard cheers and exuberance. This is another tell … [Read more...]
