In this weekend’s Wall Street Journal, there is a report of an investment made by Nancy Pelosi and her husband.
They put somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000 into T. Boone Picken’s company, Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
At first blush, the relatively small amount (compared to millions of dollars in assets held by the Pelosis) would make most [...]

On the Republican side, the increase in McCain’s position in the polls, slow as it is in coming, is a reflection of the unity that is starting to build within the Republican Party. I think what you’re really seeing is that as the various state conventions come to a close, and people have finished jockeying [...]
Of course, on the last day of Presidential Primary Season, things are so close between Obama and Clinton that different new organizations have differing opinions about whether Obama has clinched the nomination or not. And on top of that, the AP reported this morning tha Clinton will concede tonight, and of course her campaign denies [...]
No, I’m not talking about a television series, nor an idea for a Super-bowl commercial. I’m talking about Democrats.
Part of me is happy to see that party tearing itself apart, and not for idealogical reasons, but just your basic greedy, power-starved selfish evilness.
On the other hand, it’s painful to watch.
Still unhappy with the current [...]
I thought this was timely, and am sharing the complete text of what Bit posted at his site. It amazes me how easily we forget these things.
Bit says: This was sent to me via mail this monring, and I’ve echoed out in total:
The Democrats:
Democrats fought to expand slavery while Republicans fought to end it.
Democrats passed [...]

We’ve kept it pretty loose here at TCR with regard to the continued havoc being wrought by Hillary Clinton against her party. Every day, the lack of her stepping down extends further and further the demise of Democrats and Obama’s chance to manipulate his way into high office.
Amazingly enough, however, the party faithful are [...]
The following is a work of fiction and political satire. None of this is true. However, if you have a sensitive stomach, or are a Liberal, or just don’t get most jokes you hear, you may want to avoid reading this piece. But you are welcome to anyhow.
Barack Obama, in an unprecedented [...]

I can name a few things:
Revisiting a place I lived in or visited in the past on Google Earth
Searching for that perfect fretless bass on eBay
Accidentally starting a round of Polar Pool (okay, accidentally on purpose, but I didn’t think I’d be up half the night!)
Reconfiguring my Fantasy Baseball Team
Installing the newest version of my [...]
Just last week, Nancy Pelosi was saying that the Super Delegates should be guided by the overall direction of the pledged delegates (a position shared by Obama, of course). She drew criticism from Clinton supporters, but I never expected her to back-pedal as she did today on Good Morning America.
Smells like Hillary got to her… [...]

Well, Hillary appears to be attempting to make EVERYONE happy.
More government money to rescue folks who simply bought more house than they could afford. According to a Wall Street Journal story Tuesday, Hillary proposes:
Freezing Forclosures for 90 days
Freezing Interest-rate Resets on Sub-primes for 5 years
Establish a $30 billion fund so states and cities can [...]
