Post-State Of The Union Wrap-Up

Published on 2010-01-28 13:41:00

Hey readers (the one or two I may have left),So, last night was President Barack Obama's first "official" State of the Union since taking office. Now, I could do one of two things. I could break it all down, line by line, just like all the T.V. commentators have done last night and into today (like I'm sure they are doing right now). However, I learnt during my skoolun' (pump money in the schools, please!) that over-analyzing isn't fun for anybody, especially the one writing the paper. So, i

Democrats Axe Public Plan From Health Bill

Published on 2009-12-09 02:24:00

Those mysterious "sources" are at work again, except this time, they aren't talking about Tiger Woods supposed, um, relationship issues. This time, however, these sources are confirming to the media that the Democrats have struck an internal agreement on what they want in the health reform bill.And as sure that the fact that my dry sense of humor can't translate through keystrokes, this "all public" healthcare bill is DOA. Now the plan will be private plans with government oversight, which wil

Franken's Long Road is Finally Over, Sworn in to Senate

Published on 2009-07-07 14:03:00

Comedian candidate Senator Al Franken was finally sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden today, eight months after election day on November 4th. Raw video of the swearing-in can be found here.There's been a lot of talk since this whole Franken-Coleman thing started, about how Franken would be the 60th vote, that some iron-clad fist would come down upon the Senate, preventing any and all possible filibusters. That is such a load of bull. There will be no 60-vote filibuster override. There will

Sanford & ...Argentine Beauty?

Published on 2009-07-07 03:21:00

Gov. Mark Sanford, who recently destroyed his marriage admitted to having an affair with a woman in Argentina... on state time... using state money, was censured yesterday after a vote within the the South Carolina Republican Party. Their vote fell short of asking him to resign, however. The vote was 22 to censure, 10 to resign, and 9 in support of the embattled governor.Sanford's biggest problem, to me anyway, was the fact that he left the state,. and the country, without taking the appropria

No Title

I sit here dumbfounded that it has been 665 days since my last post of this blog. I most likely suffered some burn-out during the drawn-out campaign process -- as an avid news junkie, almost everything I watched on television was election-based news coverage. Everything that I read, or typed, on the internet had to do with Obama, McCain, and 2008. I couldn't get enough.It would be a logical assumption to assume that I was not the only one this happened to -- after all, with the rush to place

Karl Rove submitted his resignation to the President today, and it was accepted. He will leave at the end of August. There is no more I could put here that could make this post any greater than it currently is, so I'll stop here.-Adam

Hit The Snooze... It's Too Early For Politics

Published on 2007-08-13 01:55:00

I love politics.I find it enjoyable. When I watch T.V., often the news channels are my first choice (thus causing me to not watch the ever-increasing amount of programs on my DVR). Politics is one of the things I love to talk about. I have yet to determine whether this makes me twisted and insane, or lining me up for a career in the political world; when I find out for sure, I'll let you know.But unfortunately, the world of politics has taken an unfortunate, and possibly unbearable, turn.
