Okay, so this article is only about Guns.  I couldn’t help but throw in the Warren Zevon quote for the title, so you’ll pardon me.  Though this actually isn’t a bad description of Republican policy.  As I was saying, the big issue here is gun control.  Obama is notorious among the...

Ok, so about a month or two ago I did a rundown of all of the people that I thought would be likely to run for the Republican ticket.  I did something of an odds count, but I don’t really think I can reasonably do that right now since the Republican Party is in a state of flux.  So I wanted to...

Sarah Palin is a moron. So how comes the Sarah Palin juggernaut?  Is she still a force in the 2012 election? I haven’t touched on the Republican candidates for a while now, because I think most of them realize that it is unwise to overexpose themselves this early.  Most of the major potential...

For those who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, his State of the Union was a return to the form that we all knew him in during the election.  The Obama of promises!  Of hope!  And so on.  The problem for those whose support he had a year ago, though, is that we’ve realize that he can’t do...

Usually, the Supreme Court hears 100 cases a year.  Of those, we might hear in the news about one or two of them.  One of the cases this year was Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission.  It sounds boring in principle:  A non-profit organization tried to release a documentary against Hillary...

It’s like I’m writing for the Onion.  Apparently, Republicans are in a tizzy over Harry Reid being a racist.  I’ll explain:  A book that’s hitting the shelves today called Game Change quotes Harry Reid as saying in 2008 that Obama could have won the election because he was...

There are a number of problems with having a single party control both the White House and Congress.  Especially when that one party also holds filibuster-proof control of the Senate, and essentially has free reign to do whatever they please. And it seems that the Republicans, who, after November of 2008,...

The immediate, massive grassroots populist uprisings against any and all Obama policies has been kind of startling to the outside observer, particularly in the level of ferocity with which he’s been attacked.  A lot of the attacks come from legitimate places – after all, there is plenty of...

Something we haven’t seen much during the Bush era is turncoating.  We haven’t seen many senators or representatives who have been willing to change their positions away from the party line or, perhaps turn away from their party all together. Until now. Just this past year, Arlen Specter,...

Despite the massive problems facing the United States, problems that Barack Obama is expected to fix, the Republicans have a serious uphill battle against them in 2012.  I’d much rather it was close, folks, because it’s more fun to call a close race, but hey, not up to me.  Point being that the...
