Corsi Bashes McCain »

Jerome Corsi, who Swift-boated John Kerry as co-author of ‘Unfit to Command’ in 2004 and who is trying to do the same to Obama in his newly minted best seller, ‘The Obama Nation.’ About the same time his book came out (now a number one best seller), I received an email from a friend entitled [...]

Big Oil Hits New Highs and New Lows »

A recent article by CNN suggests that Big OIl is at it again, spending huge amounts of money to make sure their record breaking profits stay in tact.  In what may be surprising to some, the most recent figures from the Center for Responsive Politics show that the oil industry gives a relatively small sum to [...]

Yo Johnny, Fries With That? »

I love the irony. John McCain has spent the last few months slinging mud at Obama for never having been in Iraq, yet discussing the topic publicly. So, Obama evidently on some level having agreed that this was a “weakness”, booked a weeks tour of the middle east as well as Europe. As I’m sure [...]
