Al Gore’s World – Agenda vs Principle

Gore’s Latin Diplomacy   This story seems to indicate that the environment is more of an agenda item, rather than a principle for the former VP.
This helps to explain the VP’s willingness to use “carbon offsets” to justify being “brown” when it comes to his living and transportation needs.

2008 Presidential Debates – Now?

I am a real political junkie, but didn’t watch the Dem/MSNBC debate last night.
It just seems too early. We just had congressional elections in November.  I think later this year after Labor Day would be more appropriate to start the Presidential campaigning.   Besides talking about 2008 Presidential politics only gives media/political cover for the 110th [...]

Its Still Too Early, BUT…….

…..Rudy is sounding good! Giuliani warns of ‘new 9/11′ if Dems win
Avoiding the usual pre-primary tactic of attempting to differentiating himself from the other candidates in his own party – Rudy is placing ALL of the candidates in the other party in his political sights.
The current choices between the Dems and GOP are [...]

How About…….

….Immigration Reform!!
The 110th Congress seems to think that they were elected to do the bidding of the voters and citizens wrt Iraq.  Well, using this same logic, they should also be doing something substantial about Immigration Reform as well.  A majority of people want something to be done about this situtation.
I’m not holding my breath.

Not a Good Idea

Senator Obama rolled out some of the tenets of his view towards foreign policy in an Obama Administration. The Senator indicated that he’d double the amount of foreign aid and to distribute the funds to “encourage” countries from turning to terrorism and the influence of terrorism.
Sounds good, in principle. However, it would be better to [...]

First Things First

Before passing more laws based upon the headlines in yesterday’s newspapers or at the top of the evening newscasts…..wouldn’t it be better to remove from the books those laws that are not enforced or selectively enforced. This legislation by media focus has got to be wasting taxpayer dollars.
If Congress would write laws that need to [...]

Congressional Oversight Gone Wild

Now Congress wants to be involved in the writing, production and direction of PBS specials.
Hispanic Caucus Raises Stakes in PBS Fight
When are they going to get around to legislation on social security reform, medicare reform, immigration reform and tax reform?!

What a Surprise!

Seems that the Muqtada al Sadr wants to remove “his” ministers from the Iraqi government until the Iraqi government sets a deadline for the withdrawal of coalition forces.
Now, I wonder, where he got that idea from?

Feel Like Leaving America

Not because of the Virginia Tech shootings.
Not because of the ineffectual 110th Congress.
Not because of Dems, the GOP, Imus, Rosie, DeLay, blogs or the media.
Not because I don’t love this country.
But, because there are other places around the globe that are offering: hope, excitement, growth, entrepreneurial spirit, and wonderment with the possible. America seems to [...]

Just for Fun

Many in the blogs enjoy conspiracies…so…I thought I would pass this one along.
The Clinton campaign was behind the ouster of Don Imus.
Considering Mr. Imus’ “performance” at a Pres. Clinton dinner during the Clinton Administration and his dislike of Sen. Clinton, he could not be allowed to remain on the air while the Presidential campaign ramps [...]
