When will the Dems learn to that bringing a knife to gun fight is not very smart? When will they learn to play the refs better (the media) for the free ride John McCain continues to get whilst Obama supports the FISA bill only to catch the corporate thieves in criminal liability when elected and […]

The BBC reported a Missouri, USA car dealership offered a promotion where if one buys a car or truck, they can get either $250 in petrol vouchers or a free handgun. UK laws forbidding gun ownership aside for the moment, if they were to change, could this be a marketing opportunity for businesses in the […]

In America’s heartland, anything that paints Barack Obama as (place your fear mongering adjective here) passes as “God’s honest truth” even when proven a lie. MSNBC reported yesterday, “Gerri Kish, (is) 66-year-old (and) born in Hawaii, read both of Obama’s autobiographies. She has close friends, she said, who still refuse to believe her when she […]

Prime […]

Noooo… I don’t care to know that and if I did have a higher movie IQ, it would indicate waaaay too […]

120 hours ago, Barack Obama woke up the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. There were outpourings of pride and emotion on all sides that a person of colour could win the nomination, culminating with a rousing speech by Hillary Clinton calling the party to unite behind him.

WHEN Barack Obama achieved his historic victory on Tuesday night, the battle was joined between two Americas. Not John Edwards’s two Americas, divided between rich and poor. Not the Americas split by race, gender, party or ideology. What looms instead is an epic showdown between two wildly different […]

The last 36-hours have been overwhelming in historical significance. A young black man, born of mixed-race parents, raised by a single white mother in Indonesia and later white grandparents in Hawaii, obtained a top Ivy League education, worked as a lawyer in Chicago helping to organise union members, ran unsuccessfully for Congress, then became a […]
