Yeah right. Take a listen to this video and tell me if you think she sounds like anything close to an expert on oil: Now shouldn’t someone who’s going to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and who’s been touted as a so-called “leading expert on energy issues” be…

Only this time it’s not Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; it’s AIG, one of the world’s largest insurance companies. Total cost to American taxpayers? Up to 85 billion dollars. And let’s not forget this latest government-funded bailout comes fresh on the heels of a horrific start to the week that…

Take a good long look at this picture: Does that look like a man you can trust? Personally, that doesn’t look like someone I’d trust but apparently Republican presidential nominee John McCain disagrees, as he trusted a story first reported by Carl Cameron of Faux News, who alleged that Democrats…

In her speech (or rather, the speech that was written for her) to the Republican National Convention, the Republican vice presidential nominee, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, tried hard to paint herself as a Washington outsider and a reformer, and while it may be true she’s not a Washington insider, it’s…

Now you’ll have to pardon my language, but I’m glad to see the Democratic Party has finally gotten a set of balls. My biggest complaint during the 2004 election was Sen. John Kerry’s unwillingness (or inability) to fight back against the attacks he came under from the Republican ticket and…

Let’s talk about hypocrisy for a moment, since there are some on the right who want to paint liberals as hypocrites, while conveniently ignoring the hypocrisy that’s so rampant on the right. For instance, the same folks who hold themselves up as supporting the Republican Party, the party of so-called…

“Unemployment at 4-year high” That’s the headline for the latest “good news” regarding the American economy. July marked the seventh consecutive month employers cut jobs, with a net loss of 51,000 jobs in the month, and the national unemployment rate hit a four-year high, according to a Labor Department report…

You’ll have to excuse my focus over the last few days on conservative talk radio host Michael Savage, but his comments about autistic children and their parents merit some attention. Happily, there’s some good news to report. FOXNews.com is reporting that Aflac, an advertiser on Savage’s radio show, has pulled…
