Today, one year after sharing a similar report in 2008, I share a new oversight report issued this week on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act by Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.). Inside, it contains candidates for what an annual award I’ve decided to call “The Heistman Trophy.” Among those, descriptions of [...]

Question: ‘Why Didn’t Voters Pay Attention?’
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments
“Why didn’t voters pay attention?” is a question I asked myself after taking a fresh look at “Foster Friess on Barack Obama: Rhetoric vs. Record”, a video which first appeared in a post on this blog Oct. 28, 2008. Narrator Foster Friess, a successful businessman and Army veteran living in Jackson Hole, Wyo., begins by [...]

John McCain Must Be Feeling Re-Election Pressure
May 8th, 2009 · No Comments
Challenged by Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps in Arizona and a man with more statewide name recognition than most of the senator’s previous primary opponents, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) must be feeling quite a bit of re-election pressure this time around. As a result, he’s advertising already. Today, I happened to [...]

Will ‘Bradley Effect’ Benefit John McCain?
October 17th, 2008 · 5 Comments
In a post three days ago, I asked a question — Will Obama Be First Arab-American President? — none in the mainstream news media have dared to address. It followed my reading of a Wisconsin-based writer’s claim that, if elected, Barack Obama will be the nation’s first Arab-American president. Today, I ask another race-related — [...]

Anti-McCain Effort Teeters on Brink of Failure
January 24th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Today, it appears the future of one anti-John McCain effort rests upon how well the Arizona Republican performs in tonight’s Republican Presidential Candidates Debate in Florida and in the upcoming Florida and Super Tuesday primaries. I first reported on the effort — dubbed the ‘Apostrophe T Campaign’ by its organizers — 15 months ago in [...]
