For the last week, the audio and video have been run and re-run a zillion times, and will be run another zillion times before the election in November. And, Obama’s words have been analyzed ad nauseum by the left and the right. The right believes the Roanoke statements offered an insight into Obama’s political soul;…

Obama’s Subliminal Beer Campaign
Last week during Obama’s swing through the rust belt, ABC reported how deftly the Obama campaign team insured the president was photographed holding ‘working-class’ beers, Budweiser and Miller Lite. Surely the beginning of what will be a power subliminal communications plan, I’m quite sure we’ll be seeing additional photos of the president drinking message-oriented beers….
Deep Concerns about the Media Should Romney Win

Therefore, this is merely a ‘what if’ exercise in speculation. First, a quick review of what we’re seeing prior…

I am reminded of an old southern adage: Never try to teach a pig to dance; it just frustrates you and pisses off the pig….

Here they are…the top explanations for the White House leaks. • Joe Biden assumed the…
Tuesday’s Victories Lead to Fanciful Wishful Thinking
With what I think will prove to be a watershed event, the good people of Wisconsin (and some in California???) have prevailed and delivered victories to all conservatives, strikes for common sense and a little extra flow this morning from the spring of eternal hope. It’s been a long time since the 2012 midterms…seeming much…
