Another One Bites the Dust

 
Cue Music:
Hey, Hey, Hey…. another one bites the dust (Republican that is)…. and another one down (80 year old Senator John Warner is not going to run for another term)… Hey we’re gonna get you too…(Senator Larry Craig) another one bites the dust-AHHH.
Okay, so now that I’ve gotten that out of my system… it is indeed […]

Football is a dirty game

Its that time again, yes… Football Season, the NFL… the time when many women can expect to be ignored, left by themselves, pushed from number the #1most important thing in their guy’s life to #2. That’s because football (not soccer Beckhamites) is taking center stage. Here in the Washington metro area, beltway traffic […]

Ah give the guy a break!

Though this blog contains the alleged misdeeds of those in power… I think it time to recognize we are all human, make mistakes like humans do, some mistakes may be a little bit more scandal worthy than others, but all in all even though we elect lawmakers to represent us, its time we realize they’re […]

Hill Wrap

So there’s so much going on in the nation’s capitol that my head is about to explode. Here’s a recap: Attorney General and POTUS brown nose Alberto Gonzales is gone. Well, its about time. Everyone, and I mean everyone has been saying why don’t you just leave… and now he’s finally gotten the hint. Gonzales […]

Go Get ‘em Senator Warner

 
So something weird happened this morning while I was wolfing down my breakfast Mc Burrito.  I thought I was completely out of my mind, and out to lunch for a moment (but then I realized it was breakfast time) when I began to cheer on Senator John Warner (R-VA.)
First lets get something straight: I lived in […]

Where the Candidates Nosh

 
Running a presidential campaign can be pretty exhausting so its important that candidates take a break from the stump and refuel. But there’s one hot little eatery that republicans, independents,  democrats… oh well just about everyone no matter what party frequents.
Stumped as to where this might be? Here’s a hint — chili cheese half smokes…you guessed […]

Mitt Romney: Bewildered

So it doesn’t matter if you’re a bible carrying member of the Evangelical Right or a crunchy, granola eating, tree hugging, secular left leaning humanist; we’ve all got one thing in common — confusion.
About what? Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and his positions on issues that polarize this country. For instance — Abortion. One would […]

Congressman Behaving like a Rube

 
Three cheers for ABC news 7 for breaking this story about California Congressman Bob Filner behaving like a donkey’s hiney at Dulles Airport.
According to an ABC 7 news report, it appears that the Democrat ( yes, I hate to say it but facts are facts) allegedly pushed a United Airlines employee who was working in a restricted baggage […]

Rove down, 1 Administration to Go

 
I was in Dulles Airport when I heard the news about Karl Rove. Lets just say I could barely contain myself ( I was going through the security puffer so I had no choice but to temper my joy) when I overheard the mastermind of this wonderful Administration (that we’re all at the mercy of,) was leaving the Ranch. Yes lads and lasses Karl […]

From Party Girl to Bride to Be

 
And now for a bit of breaking gossip…er news. According to today’s Washington Post Reliable Source, First twin Jenna Bush is getting hitched to Henry Hager. Both are really young by Washington standards — she’s 25 and he’s 29 but these young republicans apparently have their futures already mapped.  She’s a teacher, and he is […]

Racing fun outside of Washington

So this past Friday I was feeling a little Shirley Cha-Cha Muldowney and needed to eliminate some stress without getting a speeding ticket (or arrested) like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. I headed over to Chevrolet’s Rev it Up event at Fed-Ex field in Landover, MD (Redskins stadium.)  When I arrived to my delight novice […]

Mitt Romney for President –ugh!

So Iowa recently held its straw poll and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney emerged as the victor. Iowa, what’s going on are you all living in the same universe as the rest of us? You’ve got to be kidding me. Romney isn’t even in the same political universe as more experienced candidates take Arizona Senator […]

Bush Congratulates Bonds

President Bush called home-run deity Barry Bonds and congratulated him on breaking Henry “Hank” Aaron’s career home-run record of 755.  Some wondered if his excellency would call Bonds considering all of the negative press concerning his alleged steroid use.  In an interview with Fox news, President Bush said this about the steroid speculation :”Let history be […]

National Gallup Poll Results

 
If the presidential election were held right now, according to a recent Gallup Poll, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would be running nearly neck and neck with former Gotham Mayor Rudy Giuliani. But as we all know, there are those pesky primaries to contend with and in the Democratic Primary Clinton leads Illinois Senator Barack Obama with 47% to his […]

Fred Thompson’s Trophy Gal

Yesterday the Washington Post ran a not so flattering article on Republican Presidential hopeful Fred Thompson and his wife Jeri Kehn Thompson.  It appears the beautiful blond bombshell is more than 20 years younger than her husband and the scuttlebutt around town is that she got her former job as the Republican National Committee spokesperson because she was quietly dating Thompson (who was a Tenessee […]

Political Messiah?

So lately I’ve been thinkin’, the Bush administration has gotten has created such a royal mess with this Iraqi conflict that the anger in the Muslim world will likely continue for generations.  Heck, take a look at author Salmon Rushdie – the recently knighted author of the Satanic Verses (which contained some lets just call them […]

Rummy and Meyers deny Coverup

What were lawmakers thinking when they subpoenaed former SEC DEF (Secretary of Defense) Donald Rumsfeld and Ret. General Richard Meyers to testify in the friendly fire death of football hero Pat Tillman? Did anyone really expect for Rumsfeld to say: “Well yes, we knew some incompetent made a big fat mistake that ended Tillman’s life.”
 Here’s the […]
