Is Obama moving right, or am I moving left?
I just feel compelled to ask, because there are now TWO things president-elect Obama and I agree on:
1. Blagojevich should resign; and
2. Those cookies at Baby Boomer’s are yummy!

McKoy needs to bring Mac’s World Online
Radio station 98.3 WOW-FM made a programming change over the weekend, leaving long-time on-air personality J. Michael McKoy without a job and his conservative talk show, Mac’s World, off the air. Chris Bradshaw, who was McKoy’s co-host on that show, has taken over the timeslot with (I’m assuming, though haven’t listened yet) a more left-leaning show.

Why redistribution is bad for the Economy
In a nutshell, this is why Democrats’ economic policies will fail: Because their system of taking from the haves to give to the have-nots will eventually over-burden those who are society’s most productive. The sequence of events laid out in John Hawkins’ post will be further exacerbated as the current generation of super-productives retires… you know, those [...]
Can Obama keep up with all his promises?
Well let’s see, in his first week as President-Elect, Barack Obama has already learned a few critical lessons:
MoveOn.org probably expects a significant return on their investment (pdf download)
Involuntary servitude is so 150 years ago
It isn’t really “change” when your transition team is made up entirely of big donors and Clintonistas
In the days after the election, [...]
“Change” indeed - the first ‘pass’ for Barack Obama
In the first example I’ve yet seen since last Tuesday’s election, of “feds” being scared into inaction, the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) is unlikely to audit Barack Obama’s massive campaign fund because a). they’re not required to since he didn’t accept public funds; and b). how embarrassing would THAT be for a sitting President?
Timeline, if you care:
First [...]
After the vote - what next?
I’m embarrassed to take such a shortcut here, but the fact is I wanted to do a very thoughtful “how I feel post-election” post and simply do not have time due to a major event at work today. However, I did manage to whip through my feed reader earlier this a.m., and found that Sister [...]
America elects Barack Obama
Fox News called the election for Barack Obama just a few seconds after 10 p.m. John McCain delivered his concession speech around 10:25 p.m.
While I can’t say I’m pleased with the outcome of the Presidential election, I can say I’m proud of this nation for the historic nature of the contest.
Make no mistake, I will [...]
Intimidation, voter fraud, fairness doctrine all in the name of Obama
Post-election, here are a few of the things I’ll be interested in following up on:
Black Panthers intimidating voters who look like they might vote Republican…
Republican poll watchers thrown out in PA precincts…
Pre-marked ballots for non-English speakers in California…
Attempts to revive the “Fairness Doctrine,” a decades-old piece of legislation enacted when Radio was king which mandates that radio [...]
Kucinich’s crafty ploy to impeach Dick Cheney
Simplified:
1. Kucinich bypasses the normal means to debate impeachment of Cheney in the Senate, because he knows his fellow Democrats are against it, and introduces the measure with “prvileged status.” (Here’s why)
2. Democrats immediately vote to table it so it will die without debate, expecting Republicans to do the same.
3. But Republicans force the hand [...]
Coleman wins Des Moines City Council primary
Here are the results of Tuesday’s City Council primary election:
Chris Coleman (incumbent): 67.4 %
Josh Daines: 23.1%
Seth Galinsky: 8.5%
Write-In: 1%
The Polk County election office website showed that 3,566 people voted.
Update:
While Chris Coleman easily won two thirds of the votes cast in yesterday’s city council primary election, I have to wonder if the primary wasn’t a waste [...]
