Friday, March 17th, 2017So We’re Gonna Bomb Syria
Tuesday, August 27th, 2013At least that’s what the tea leaves say.
So we’re going to fight a proxy war against a Russian client in Asia. What could possibly go wrong?
Are we now the World’s Policeman again? When did that happen? Was there a memo?
Ted Cruz notes that it’s not in our national interest.
Reason gives us 8 reasons not to bomb Syria.
Even ultra-lefty ex-congressman Dennis Kucinich says that bombing Syria is a bad idea.
And if Syria counterattacks against Israel, well, Isreal is not going to take it lying down.
And Joe Biden calls for impeachement of the President if he attacks without congressional approval.
Stay tuned…
Major Democratic Donor Larry Flynt Pornographies Conservative Commentator S. E. Cupp
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012I wonder if the founding fathers’ conception of the First Amendment right of free speech ever extended to faking pictures of a penis in a woman’s mouth. Which is what Obama supporter and Hustler publisher Larry Flynt just did to conservative commentator S. E. Cupp. I tend to doubt this thought crossed the mind of anyone attending the Constitutional Convention in 1787, not least because photography hadn’t been invented yet, and our founding fathers weren’t total pervs.
Remember all those liberals crowing over the need for civility? Whatever happened to them?
Expect some proforma sniffing from the left, to be followed by a quick flick into the memory hole, mainly because Flynt has been a serious contributor to Democrats and liberal causes over the years:

Of course, the donations to Bill Clinton (a man after his own heart) should surprise no one. The big mystery is those two donations to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Maybe he did it just to see if they would notice.
That’s an awful lot of money for Dennis Kucinich for a guy in California. I wonder what Flynt’s interest is….
Dennis Kucinich Goes Down
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012Marcy Kaptur ended Dennis Kucinich’s congressional career last night, beating him in the Democratic Primary 60% to 36%.
There’s some talk of Kucinich moving to Washington State and running for congress there, but one wonders why Democrats there would feel inclined to elect a carpetbagger. He could try a Senate run, but after this year, the next Senate race in Ohio will be 2016. Barring another gadfly run for President, Kucinich’s national political career is most likely done.
On the plus side, that will give him more time to spend with his wife…
More Redistricting Fallout
Friday, March 2nd, 2012Now that redistricting is (mostly) settled (for this year), reverberations are still being felt around the state in various races. First a correction: Candidates have until March 9 to file, not the March 6 date I reported yesterday.
Other tidbits:
Could Dennis Kucinich be in Trouble?
Thursday, October 28th, 2010So The Weekly Standard is reporting, and his Republican opponent Peter Corrigan seems to be putting up a stiff fight.
You hear that and you think that the Republican wave is going to be even larger than we anticipated. But remember that as much as we think of Kucinich as a liberal icon and his seat as a safe one, he only won his 2008 race by 57%; a very solid victory, to be sure, but not an overwhelming one given the Obama wave of 2008.
Certainly Kucinich is one of the most liberal members of congress, ran to Obama’s left in the 2008 Democratic Presidential primaries, and is known for having some pretty wacky ideas (like his bill for banning Orbital Mind Control Satellites; perhaps Rep. Kucinich has played one-too-many games of Illuminati).
But it would still be an upset. Kucinich has a lot of assets and advantages in his race: incumbency, a national liberal following, and a reputation as a genuine character.
And, of course, a very hot wife.
An incredibly hot redheaded wife.
This is a serious political post, and in no way a shameless attempt to get a Fark greenlight by posting all these pictures of Kucinich’s exceptionally hot wife.
This is a serious political blog.
Serious, I tell you!
If someone told me: “If you run for President, you’re going to lose really badly, but as a result, you’re going to marry an unbelievably hot wife,” I’d be filling out the paperwork tomorrow….
