‘Move Along! Nothing to See Here, Folks’

January 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment

President-elect Barack Obama’s post-election statements and actions have left some wondering whether, in fact, there are any real differences between him and President George W. Bush. While liberals berate the 43rd president for being a puppet of wealthy GOP donors, deep-pocketed corporate titans and members of the warmongering “military-industrial complex,” conservatives criticize the soon-to-be-44th president [...]

Phillip Berg Files Motion to Halt Electoral Process

December 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Will Missile Defense Successes Be Short-Lived?

December 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Almost 16 weeks after The Boeing Company successfully completed a successful test of airborne laser technology, the company announced today that is had completed yet another, leading me to wonder whether President-elect Barack Obama will view these successes and deem them “proven” in light of his campaign-trail statements that he wants to “cut investments in [...]

Barack Obama ‘a man they barely know’

December 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Albeit late and in a far-too-abbreviated manner, at least one member of the mainstream news media has finally admitted that he and his brethren in the Fourth Estate failed to properly vet President-elect Barack Obama when he was a mere candidate for the highest office in the land.
