Something strange is afoot in a Presidential campaign. To be specific, something odd is going on within President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign.
It’s enough to make a person wonder if — with the President’s approval numbers now at an all time low — there’s an escape plan being hatched for the 44th President.
Consider Obama’s remarks in June on the Today Show when he said his family is “not invested” in a second term. He told the interviewer “If I said, you know guys, I want to do something …

A visitor from Europe recently said something to me that made me wonder. As we walked along the streets she looked up and asked, “Why do you have all these Wires speading across alleys?” I told her they were electrical wires bringing power to the homes It was her next remark that stunned me. She said, “We have all of our power lines underground. Why don’t you?”

Yes, why don’t we?
Why is it that every time it rains, snows, …

If filling up your gas tank is becoming a shocking experience, you are not alone. People are now lining up at any filling station where the price per gallon is under $4.50.

Some people are blaming the gas stations. Others are blaming the big oil companies. I blame the lack of transparency, and here’s why.
If you go into a restaurant today, the menu lists how many calories are in each meal. If you shop in a grocery store, each item is now marked with the amount of …

Is anyone else getting tired of all the polls? Every day we’re presented with polls on everything from what we think of Afghanistan or Libya or Iraq. Polls try to tell us the trending views on the economy, jobs, health care, and the administration, the Republicans, the Democrats. We’re even seeing polls on Charlie Sheen and Piers Morgan.

It’s hard to peg just when this practice of polling on every subject began, but it has now entered into the bizarre world of “fighting polls”. Take Wisconsin for instance, …

Hitting a guy when he’s down is an ugly thing. Ever since the Bears lost to the Packers in the NFL Championship game there has been no end to the attacks against Quarterback Jay Cutler. Critics were slamming him on television, radio, newspapers and sports blogs. Some said his knee injury didn’t look that bad – after all, he was on the bike on the sidelines. He was standing. He wasn’t being treated on the sidelines.

Armchair quarterbacks sniped that he should’ve played hurt. After …

What has happened to ethics in journalism? The rush to “be first” too often leads to misinformation being put out as fact; and the problem is, many people never hear or read the correction and the true story. On top of this, a lot of important information is left unreported. Looking into all the facts just seems to take too much time. The tragic Arizona shootings are a perfect example.

National Public Radio, NPR, went on the air saying Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords was dead. CNN followed with the …

The tragedy in Arizona brought a collective gasp across America. An apparently obsessed 22 year old man gunned down 14 people, killed six of them – including a Federal Judge and a nine year old girl – and left U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition.

It was a horrible scene, but what has followed it has been ugly. The County Sheriff blamed the rhetoric on television and talk radio, even before details were known about the background of the man under arrest. Next, the talking heads took …

We’re now eleven years into the millennium, 2011, and much has changed in our country. In 2000 the fear was that computers wouldn’t operate, couldn’t coordinate with the digital change. Some people were even afraid to fly, fearing the air traffic computers would jam. But the computers worked, the planes took off and landed safely, and America entered the new millennium happily.

A year later, the real fear would come. On September 11, 2001 we were shocked by the worst foreign attack on our soil in history. …

Here we go, back into the theatre of the absurd – otherwise known as political correctness. We cannot ask an illegal to present identification, but we can demand American citizens chose between being x-rayed into nudity or getting a serious groping of our private parts by TSA strangers in order to board an airplane. It doesn’t make us safer.

The x-ray machines and groping would not have discovered the explosives hidden inside the pants of he so-called “underwear bomber”. Nor would they have discerned the explosives hidden in …

It’s getting absurd in Washington. The players on the hill have been sending our tax dollars out to their political friends and foreign nations with no care to the growing deficit, the fed is printing more money to buy treasury notes, our economy is in sad shape and the world is reacting angrily to the dollar’s lowered value.

We’ve learned that the multi billion-dollar stimulus didn’t go to create jobs, but instead was sent to states to pay off their bills.
