Our Sometimes Non-Existent Nuclear Weapons Capability
Hugh Shelton was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Bill Clinton‘s second term. In his just published memoir, Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior he tells a strange little story about how the top-secret codes needed by the president to launch a nuclear strike went missing for months towards the end [...]
Not As Ridiculous As He Hoped
Former president George Bush isn’t exactly setting the lecture circuit on fire. The first step in his plan to start making “ridiculous” money out on the lecture circuit (by doing what he does worst) is going to be a March 17 engagement in Calgary, Canada. When that engagement was announced last month, Bush’s new hometown [...]
Hey, Look at That
Bill Clinton: And it is, to be fair to all the Americans who aren’t as hard-core Democrats as we, it’s a philosophy the American people never actually had a chance to see in action fully until 2001, when the Republicans finally gained control of both the White House and the Congress. Then we saw what [...]
Presidential Regression
Once upon a time, it was common to regard Bill Clinton as an adult. It’s pretty hard to do so these days, especially, when you read stuff like this: Is Bill Clinton still fuming over the outcome of the primary contests? Although he has yet to pick up the phone when Barack Obama calls, a [...]
Enough Already!
Here’s more drivel from the Clintons, both Bill and Hillary. It’s getting so you can count on them to come up with irritatingly idiotic stuff every so often. After the debate opportunity that ABC News comprehensively butchered on Wednesday night, the consensus of people without an axe to grind has overwhelmingly been that ABC News [...]
Quotable Quotes
Things you can say in Pennsylvania in April that you cannot say in Iowa in December: Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, at a campaign stop for his wife in Pennsylvania over the weekend, said, “Corn is the single most inefficient way to produce ethanol because it uses a lot of energy and because it drives [...]
Surprising Polls, Even Mindboggling
The other day I posted my thoughts on whether Hillary Clinton should stay in the presidential race or quit. The post was prompted by media calls for Clinton to quit. In the comments section, a couple of readers feelingly expressed the view that many Obama supporters would refuse to vote for Clinton if she were [...]
Jake Tapper, Senior National Correspondent for ABC News
The pathetic performance of ABC News’ Jake Tapper yesterday seems to capture perfectly how fully effed up our media has become. First, he totally distorted some remarks by Bill Clinton about combating global warming. Tapper’s take: In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to [...]
Senator Clinton And President Clinton
John Edwards made an interesting choice of words in last night’s concession speech in South Carolina: I want to join Sen. Clinton and President Clinton in congratulating Sen. Obama. Now the three of us move on to February 5th where millions of Americans will cast their vote and help shape the future of this party [...]
Please Beseech With Me
I’m worrying a lot that Obama might win the Democratic nomination. This has nothing to do with my personal feelings about the weakness of Obama’s … platform, I guess, for lack of a better word–the whole feel-good “I will bring this country together again by the magnificence of my rhetoric and the magnetic force of [...]
