The Debates – Are They Working? Part 3

Part three of a series, written by Jon at The DC Traveler, on the current Presidential debates.
The “It’s NOT Entertainment” Question
Many of the questions in the You-Tube format debate were clever and entertaining, yet I actually found the concept to be very disrespectful of the entire presidential election process. I don’t think that the […]

The Debates – Are They Working? Part 2

Part two of a guest post by Jon at The DC Traveler on the Presidential debates.
The “Get off the Fence, Will Ya?” Question
One thing that really stands out in this election, is the blatant and unabashed pandering to special-interest groups. While this may be nothing new in politics, today, virtually every word uttered by each candidate seems […]

The Debates — Are They Working?

Hey everyone! Jon here from The DC Traveler.
I normally avoid writing about politics on my The DC Traveler, but since Starked DC is currently without a a writer, I thought I’d post a couple guest posts and share a few thoughts over the next coupe days on the ongoing Presidential debates.

Okay, call […]

From The Hill Top: National Study: Tween Girls at high risk, DC is a swampland, and We have apparently been ‘Plutoed’

Bush is looking to place a new ‘benchmark’ plan on Iraq.  Interesting.  That’s what Rumsfeld advised in October.   
God deny’s Rev. Pat Robertson’s crazy talk. 
National Study:  Tween girls are at highest risk of getting fat.  Funny how tween boys were not a part of this study and how this ill-conducted national study makes no mention as to why tween […]

From the Hill Top: The ‘most ethical’ congress Ever, Patrick McHenry flaunts his napoleon complex, and Obama is Human.

Good morning, DC natives - Did you happen to catch wind of the ‘back in session’ traffic this morning?  Yeah, can’t say the same.
Nancy Pelosi is officially the Speaker of the House and already promising too much.  Time management, Nance.  Think about it.
Regardless, this is Nancy’s big day, and she deserves a little pomp and circumstance. 
Speaking of […]

From the Hill Top:

Welcome, 110th Congress.  Don’t dissapoint us.
Keith Ellison (D-MN) will be sworn in to the 110th using the most patriotic Koran in existance - a Koran that was once owned by Jefferson himself.  Virgil Goode is softly weeping for now he has to work with a muslim.  Goode, buddy, listen - we don’t care.  Rep. Ellison, instead of being criticized, should […]

From the hill top: Gates to Report, Condi Promotes Black Pres., and a Md. woman fakes identity to have sex with inmate.

Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates is to report to President Bush first thing tomorrow morning.  Let’s hope Bush listens to the man.
Bush shows some consideration for the brave soldiers fighting in Iraq and visits some of them today before he comfortably retires for the holiday season.
A leopard escaped from the Washington, DC Zoo!  Though this […]

From the Hill Top: George lights Menorah - Laura is still recovering, 76 mid-December, and tell me why we care.

George W. Bush participates in a menorah lighting ceremony and likes it?  Holy Yammukah.
Meanwhile, Pelosi is placing new shackles on the ‘average’ person’s first ammendment rights.  Wait a second . . . . .
Laura Bush went under the knife last month to have a cancerous growth below her knee removed.  Ironically enough, the cancerous growth first appeared the […]

From the Hill Top: Will the Senate stay Dem? Pelosi’s Ducks, Metro Jips All, and No Flu Shot for You!

Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota suffered from stroke-like symptoms yesterday afternoon.  He was rushed to the hospital and had to undergo brain surgery last night.  These next 48 hours are critical - not only for his own life, but the life of the Senate Democratic majority .
Pelosi gets all of her little ducks in a […]

From the Hill Top: Our Money Spent, Rumsfeld gives two Shi’ts, Saudi ambassador is out

Figure this one out:  $450 Billion has already been spent in Iraq.  None of the Pentagon’s money is being used to fund the war.  Bush is throwing our money in all the wrong directions while leaving our troops without proper armor, manpower, weapons or aid.  Congress is caught between the funding chaos not being able to do a […]

From the Hill Top: News Today

Let’s prolong the peace process, shall we?  Bush is extending his decision on Iraq until early next year.  I am assuming that he recently realized he hadn’t yet finished his Christmas shopping and will be able to address the world comfortably after the holidays.  Meanwhile our troops are being killed in rapid cross fire between Sunni […]
