Despite Bush's favorite lollipop, the stimulus check , we here in the US are cutting back, saving more, and generally doing the very things we've been told to do all along--save our money, not buy frivolous crap, consume less, buy local, and

And now they're gone.Hillary Clinton's "unexpected" win in New Hampshire will keep the news media talking for a week, either about how she managed to pull it off or, in a few quiet voices, about how they managed to get it so wrong.&

Today all political eyes are on New Hampshire.  And in particular, those eyes are watching the every move of that which the media calls the "independent voter", which implies we may sway left or right with the political breeze, and whi

Now that Iowa's bizarre caucus game is over, we here in the Granite State are ready, willing and able to tell the rest of the nation how to vote in their primaries.  And the candidates are ready, willing and able to tell us who to vote for.&

Biden the Martyr

Friday, 7 December 2007 6:58 A GMT-05

Those of you who know Gump know that he is more than just the black lab who lives with us and, lately, puts up with being poked in the eyes repeatedly by a six month old.  So it may not come as a surprise to you that Gump has picked his candida

A recent poll claims that political party affiliation informs one's views on climate change .  Personally I think they've got it backwards: more likely one's views informs one's choice of political party, not the other way around

Recently Bush vetoed a bill to reauthorize and expand SCHIP by 35 billion dollars.  Among other things, he objected to the price tag.  This was par for the course for our President and no one was too surprised, but now we know why he thoug

It must really stick in Ann Coulter's gullet that she keeps getting passed over for meaningful awards, but brain-dead liberals like Al Gore just seems to rake them in .  Actually I'm not sure that Ann Coulter has a gullet.  Maybe f

We drove through Kennebunkport ME on our way home on Sunday, joking that we should stop by and visit our friends the Bushes .  We decided against it.  That's about as close to Bush as we ever want to come.  We're bored with Bus
