One of my favorite memories from childhood was watching my father light off fireworks in front of our house in San Francisco.

I didn’t need the ones that made a big BOOM in the sky. I am talking about the Red Devil Safe & Sane box he would buy every year.

Those were the days.

And thankfully, they still are…in SOME places. The…

Unlike Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, Minnesota Senator Al Franken got paid to be a clown. Inhofe is supposed to be a respectful United States senator, and yet here is his statement on Al Franken to Tulsa World:

“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are…

STAGED ~ Yesterday President Obama held a health care press conference, however many are crying foul as out of the 7 questions asked 4 were pre-selected and the other 3 came from people from health care organizations. Is this what President Obama considers holding up his end of his transparency pledge? To…

I know she hasn’t said anything about it and maybe I’m jumping the gun.

But… I’ve noticed these stories popping up about Michelle Obama ordering her staff to get with the President’s staff and find some issues in which she (Michelle) can take a leading role in shaping policy.

Methinks… uh oh… here we go again.

Hillary tried this. And by the time…

Congress doesn’t read the bills it votes on. And it might not matter.

I always liked Governor Sanford nice guy good guest but after this 3 hr interview with AP he just has to go. He has not shown any emotional stability therefore I think its time for him to leave his job . Saying he met his soulmate and will try and fall back in love with my wife and family. I…

Mark Sanford says Maria Belen Shapur is his “soul mate”, but that he is going to try to fall back in love with his wife.  Jenny Sanford must be thrilled to hear this.

Sanford also told The Associated Press he has ‘crossed lines’ with women other than Chapur, but never had sex with them.

Sanford said one of the trips to see…

I heard the story this week of the man who soaked his wife with a garden hose–and then hit her–just because she was smoking in the house.

But this morning, bright and early thanks to the neighbor’s dogs barking at 4am, I heard a part of the story that make me come unhinged.

It was an accident.

Yep. You see, this man didn’t…

The Magic Number ~ The Dems have their 60th vote in the Senate now that Minnesota’s Supreme Court declared Al Franken the winner over Norm Coleman. What impact, if any, will this 60th vote actually have? To weigh in Brian and The Judge will be joined by Dr. Larry Sabato, Director of…

Foxnews.com has those pictures from Micheald Jackson’s last rehearsal.

I must say he did look emaciated… but not bad. And the reports from the photographer and others at the rehearsal were that he still had all his old moves and looked like he was going to do the show of his life. Or 50 shows of his life… or whatever number…

Democrats will soon hold 60 Senate seats. But that doesn’t mean they can accomplish President Obama’s signature policy goals.

The dirtiest little secret that apparently many Americans are still not aware of is the growing number of skeptics of global warming.

The biggest problem through the ages was that people really didn’t think for themselves. And it appears that this is still the case.

Never have I seen so many of my fellow Americans running around like children without a supervisor,…

Doin some intriguing things on Jackson but today is really about Iraq. Thinking about how Harry Reid said the war is lost after he voted for it and how then Senator Biden said the only way to win in Iraq is to divide it into thirds. Salute the President for going along with Bushes plan which means out of cities…

Way to win those hearts and minds!  Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki declared June 30 a national holiday. I wonder if they’ll celebrate it yearly.

“All of us are happy — Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds on this day,” Waleed al-Bahadili said as he celebrated at the park. “The Americans harmed and insulted us too much.”

There was even a countdown clock and fireworks.  Sounds…
