Pendulum has reached its left margin

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:19:33 -0500

As a former resident of Massachusetts, I never expected them to elect a republican to fill Ted Kennedy’s senate seat. What a shocker. And the ultimate irony is: the democrat controlled MA legislature passed the law requiring a special election a few years back during Romney’s tenure to prevent GovRomney from appointing republicans to fill vacant seats. So the dems in Mass did it to themselves. LOL

Obama - Man without a moral compass

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:52:36 -0400

Obama’s 12 years as a law professor. . . see excerpts below from an article by Jodi Kantor. it gives great insight into his days of teaching. He rarely, if ever took a stand on an issue. Obama believed that taking sides could cost him in the future (politically). How right he was. However, a lifelong habit of failing to take sides may prove to be an even greater liability during his run for the Presidency.

Behind Maliki's Games

There is some irony in the fact that Democrats, after years of deriding Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as a hopeless bungler and conniving Shiite sectarian, are now treating as sacrosanct his suggestion that Iraq will be ready to assume responsibility for its own security by 2010. Naturally this is because his position seems to support that of Barack Obama.
