Jumping on The Choomwagon

I wasn't even going to read this, but after I saw about a million references to The Choom Gang on the twitter, I did. And I'm passing it on to you because I love you all and want you to be aware of all internet traditions. It seems our President smoked a lot of pot in his youth. As did I. We had si

Why I won't give one penny to the DNC: Part 10,987

Actually this is why I won't give a cent to any of the national Democratic election committees. Exhibit One: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, current idiot in chief, who is apparently responsible for the DNC's almost total disinterest in the Wisconsin recall elections: “I think, honestly, there aren’t goi

If he's a socialist, he's a lousy one

I'm not a fan of Bill Maher. Believe I watched his TV show exactly twice. Generally find him irritating and inclined to make stupid jokes, but once in while he says something so right, he deserves some applause. Like this segment where he asks, Why are conservatives so angry about Obama? It's a Med

So it's come to this

Resistance is futile. Everything happens on the twitter. Photo of POTUS answering questions on twitter now in Iowa #whchat twitter.com/petesouza/stat…— petesouza (@petesouza) May 24, 2012 Far as I know, this was spontaneous in that it wasn't announced long ahead of time. You know it's Obama tweetin

With Obama you get Clooney

With Romney, you get dinner with The Donald... Seriously, send in the paramedics because I might die from laughing so hard. Taking a cue from President Obama's "dinner with" fundraisers, Willard is offering up the chance of a lifetime: "I want you: Dine with the Donald," a campaign flier procla

Guess who is coming around on health care

File this under things I never expected to see: This isn't capitalism. It's rentier theft, using the power that doctors and hospitals have over patients to rip them off. And when the result of that is a massive distortion of the economy and a bankrupting of the federal government, it seems to me t

Fighting for women

With the "women's vote" becoming the new holy grail of this election, much attention is being paid to "women's issues." A lot of posturing going on, but this Equal Pay Act is a solid move for women's rights being undertaken by Democratic women Senators: Five female Democratic senators talked up th

Ask me no more questions, tell me no more lies

Well, campaign season just officially opened for me. Failed presidental contender and sporadic co-blogger Congressman Thad McCotter is posting to my blog. And when I say my blog, I mean the blog I virtually built at Detroit News, but don't own in any way. Nonetheless, when I started eight years ago,

I don't want to, talk about it

To be clear, I haven't seen it, but judging from the description, Hustler's rancid photoshop of S.E. Cupp, and apparently various other woman celebrities, is disgraceful, debasing and they deserve to be sued for using the women's photos without their permission. The disclaimer doesn't excuse it: Cu

Life's little milestones

Not one who likes to boast, but I've been toiling away in varying degrees of total obscurity at this blogging thing for nine years and counting now. And I'm still not so jaded that a link in an establishment news site doesn't still give a me a little thrill. Discovered quite by accident yesterday th
