What happened to CHANGE? Wasn’t that was Obama was supposed to bring? Hmmm… not so much. The Economic Stimulus plan is a cash grab, plain and simple. The Republicans did it with the housing & credit bailout, and the Democrats are doing the same damn thing – different scare tactic. A 1,000 plus page document [...]

February 1st, 2009 Chris Doelle Ideas are great things – I started playing with wordle.net after seeing it on Lisa Marie’s website. Tony took that idea, and ran the Preamble to the United States Constitution through it. After he showed me his word cloud, I went back and submitted the Constitution itself for this one. The most telling thing here [...]
Are they both really our Prez and Vice?
January 20th, 2009 Chris Doelle Was it more or did the oaths of office for both the President and Vice-President not seem very official? Biden, rather than saying “the duties of the office of Vice-President of the United States” said “the duties of the office on which I am about to enter” And the way Judge Roberts butchered Obama’s oath, [...]

The previews of the film left me with the impression that the interviews and subsequent television special consisted of scathing, dramatic exchanges that painted President Nixon as a liar, cheater, and overall bad guy. Because “true” films are [...]

November 6th, 2008 Chris Doelle “To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day hero … assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an un-winnable urban guerilla war. It could only plunge [...]

Good thing its all fixed
October 25th, 2008 Chris Doelle Gas prices are down, interest rates are down, our banking system has been bailed out, life is good. I was going to say, “How dumb do you guys think we are?” but that’s obvious. The truth is that “we” are dumber than a box of rocks. “We” – and I am using the collective “we”, [...]
