  • An excellent op/ed by Van Jones on Donald Trump's problems with race Edit: Also, Mitt Romney is set to take the stage to deliver his address in less than an hour. Good luck to him. Someone speaking some semblance of reason has to finally get t…

  • Picking just three from my all-time favorite Bond film will be difficult, but I'll give it a shot: 1. Bond's attempted assassination of Sanchez 2. "Compliments of Sharkey!" / Seaplane escape 3. Tanker chase Honorable Mentions -The final …

  • Not to mention Palin's inability to string together a coherent sentence detracts significantly from whatever she has going on in terms of her other "qualities".
  • Hopefully Mitt Romney will shock the world with his speech tomorrow morning and announce that he's getting in the race. He's not expected to do so, rather he's expected to just bash Trump (which will be entertaining on its own) and offer support to…

  • Not even a majority of the Republican party is in favor of Trump. Some won't vote for him and will stay home in the general. And that doesn't even take into account the majority of the country that isn't Republican who won't vote for him because o…

  • The problem with Cantor's ouster was that he was replaced with someone unqualified for the job. If anything, the problem in Washington got worse because of Cantor's ouster, as he was replaced with a Tea Party candidate who is a professor at a small…
  • They'll only work with a Republican president, so things will get done under a Republican, but once we go back to a Democrat, it'll be back to obstructionism. The only way to fix the Republican party is to keep electing Democrats to the presidenc…

  • He did well yesterday, but not as well as expected. Many were forecasting a clean sweep, or an all-but-one sweep with Cruz taking Texas. Cruz ended up winning three states, I believe (Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska) and Rubio even managed to pull out…

  • Because Cheney was eyeing a war with Iraq before Bush was even sworn in. If you watch documentaries about 9/11, he was trying to steer Bush towards going after Hussein in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.
  • It's his job to know what he says to an international organization like the UN is the truth. When you're the Secretary of State, you don't get to pass the buck like that. I'm not saying he's a bad man. I think both he and George W. Bush are goo…
  • Saying he was lied to by Cheney is a cop out. The man was the Secretary of State. He should have vetted the evidence himself before going to the UN to make the case for war.
  • Colin Powell forfeited his claim to the "superior guy" status when he went to the UN to lobby for Cheney's Iraq war.
  • There was a time when we weren't universally hated around the globe. Heck, we had a ton of global goodwill after 9/11 and managed to squander that in record time. If you look at where this country was in the early post-9/11 years and where we ar…

  • Well, excuse me if I'm not laughing. While some may be entertained by this election, what it really represents is the US officially losing its mind. And to think that people around the world were scratching their heads when we re-elected George …
  • The powers that be are about to lose their supposed "power" to a reality TV star.
  • It does matter. He or she is the nation's spokesperson to the world as well as the leader of the military. The POTUS can do a lot of damage to both the US and the world, and with some of the crazies running this time around, we face a frightening …
  • Hopefully the media who are now trying to take down Trump will take a good, long look at themselves in the mirror when he's sworn into office in January. They're the ones that have turned this whole thing into an entertainment event rather than wha…
  • He heard the questions. If he didn't, he wouldn't have known that Tapper was discussing Duke and the KKK. He knew who was being discussed. The fact is, he'll say anything to get elected. That's not a thing unique to him, as Ted Cruz and Marco Ru…
  • It's not even whether or not he disavows it at this point, it's that he refused to do so while giving a national interview. It takes a special kind of idiot to think it's a good idea to refuse to disavow the support of white supremacists, regardles…
