I have noticed that the old media (every outlet shocked by the combined wisdom that comes crashing out of the electronic media and electronic public square) has been screwing up and self destructing for years. As one of those strange creatures who brought home the Mosaic Browser to play with (first browser, only site on […]

My previous posts on the 9/12/09 Tea Party are here and here, but I wanted to note some early indications I see that the Tea Party protests have seriously changed the dynamics in DC. [Note, this is not a post about Glenn Beck’s cynical “912” attempt to take credit/control of the rising backlash against Obama […]

Updates Below I have been doing some research analyzing photos and crowd data to try and ascertain the crowd size of the 9/12/09 Tea Party protests (which I blogged on here).

Obama is already on the path towards an abysmal failure. He has decided to run around claiming the end of the world is nigh if DC doesn’t get its way! The key line of his speech that has been pre-released to the media is unadulterated drama queen exaggeration: President Barack Obama Wednesday demanded Congress act now […]

Updates Below As people prepare to listen to our young President tonight attempt to salvage his failing health care initiative, please read up on one of the premier government rationed health care programs in the world – the UK’s NHS.

If Camille Paglia is a typical, left-of-center Obama voter then the Democrats are in for a world of hurt over the next to election cycles: As an Obama supporter and contributor, I am outraged at the slowness with which the standing army of Democratic consultants and commentators publicly expressed discontent with the administration’s strategic missteps […]
