Teabaggers are complicating GOP comeback efforts

Brad Haugaard Oct 16, 2009, 10:47 pm
And the loony fringe of the Democratic party is doing the same thing, starting to turn on Obama and Biden and the gang: http://www.washingtonexaminer....

Brad Haugaard Oct 17, 2009, 10:12 pm
fd - Your concern for the wellbeing of the GOP is truly touching. I had no idea!

Brad Haugaard Oct 17, 2009, 11:51 pm
So you approve of lower taxes and smaller government and the gov staying out of people's lives (like their health insurance?) I agree the GOP has not exactly been a shining light, lately, but if you approve of those things, what in the world are you doing being a Democrat?

Also, I've heard it can raise blood pressure, if that's an issue. Of course, coffee can, too ...

Tiny Robot Trash Harvesters to Clean Streets of the Future

Brad Haugaard Oct 16, 2009, 11:17 pm
Hmmmm. It looks cool but I'm dubious about this. the robot is only a "concept" at this point, though it looks totally do-able, but I also suspect that city and state laws would prevent robot vehicles from driving on streets and in parking lots, something unlikely to change any time soon.

Wall Street Journal Passes USA Today as Biggest U.S. Paper

Brad Haugaard Oct 14, 2009, 7:12 pm
Hmm. I wonder if it is because the WSJ is growing its circulation or because USA Today is shrinking. I may even have to read the article.

Brad Haugaard Oct 14, 2009, 7:30 pm
Both. WSJ up, USA Today down. Interesting that WSJ is bucking the newspaper death spiral.

Conservatives, Critics Blast Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

Brad Haugaard Oct 9, 2009, 7:25 pm
Outrage? No, just a huge joke.

Brad Haugaard Oct 9, 2009, 10:13 pm
Saint Obama? fd - methinks that anybody who says "that idiot George W Bush and his neo-con gang of wackos" sounds a bit hypocritical talking about "haters." Saint Obama?

Brad Haugaard Oct 10, 2009, 2:41 pm
fd: I see. You conclude that your political opponents are haters, presumably on the basis of their rude and insulting words, but you don't want anybody to conclude that you are a hater because of your rude and insulting words. Instead, you want people to give you a pass because you believe you are speaking the truth, but at the same time you refuse to accept that your opponents may think they are speaking the truth. Thanks for clarifying.

Whew!

Obama Both Surprised and Humbled

Brad Haugaard Oct 9, 2009, 7:32 pm
I think the award says more about the Nobel Prize committee than about Obama. I think he reacted fine, but he's done nothing but talk, and who knows if that will ever result in any practical advance toward peace. Is there nobody in the world who has actually DONE something that clearly advanced peace? Are we reduced to giving the award to someone with good intentions?

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Brad Haugaard Oct 9, 2009, 7:24 pm
Ummmm. What exactly did Mr. Obama do to deserve this prize? I guess you don't have do do anything. Just being "not Bush" is sufficient. What a laugh!

Bob Dole: Health Care Will Pass, GOP Should Get On Board

Brad Haugaard Oct 8, 2009, 4:35 pm
Pardon me while my knee jerks, but do we really want the people who are currently mismanaging Medicare, Medicaid, VA hospitals, SEC, FEMA, Social Security, the federal budget, etc., to be in charge of the whole country's health?

Ah! How nice! Something Republicans and Democrats can come together on - Congress is abysmal.

Fairly good article. Good ideas.

Obama loses gamble -- Chicago out of Olympics contention

Brad Haugaard Oct 4, 2009, 9:28 pm
First he stoops to involve himself in a (relatively speaking) triviality, then he looses. Cheesh!

loses.

Joe Wilson Apologizes For Shouting "You Lie!" At Obama

Brad Haugaard Sep 10, 2009, 11:51 pm
Heavens to Betsy! I'm sure Democrats would NEVER have insulted Bush ... except maybe just a few thousand times. I wonder if Pete Stark ever apologized for this tirade against Bush: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

How about putting politics in the Politics section and humor in the Humor section?

Our President, Right or Wrong

Brad Haugaard Sep 10, 2009, 11:21 pm
And I totally don't get how half the things on this page can be categorized under the "Humor" section.

Why is this categorized under "Humor?"

How does this fall under the category of "Humor"?

ADP Jobs Report Moves Stock Futures Lower

Amen! I think we may be in for a bit longer recession than we expected.

SEC: We Missed Madoff Fraud Because We Are Incompetent

Brad Haugaard Sep 3, 2009, 1:03 pm
Yup. And now the gov wants to apply the same sterling management to health care that it does to the SEC, Veterans Administration and Medicare. Sigh.

Kennedy Confronts His Demons in Memoir

Brad Haugaard Sep 3, 2009, 11:06 am
Aww. That makes it all better, does it? Confessing what everybody already knew about you after you're dead. How noble. Not! I think the Democrats would be well-advised not to dwell on Teddy. Not one of their shining lights.

President Obama to Deliver Health Care Specifics

Brad Haugaard Sep 3, 2009, 11:00 am
Good. I'm anxious to hear how he plans to pay for it. That "greater efficiency" baloney doesn't cut it, coming from the organization that runs Social Security, Medicaid, Veterans Administration, FEMA, etc., and oversees the Post Office, Fannie May and Freddie Mac.

Eskuze Me, U Din't Really

Brad Haugaard Sep 1, 2009, 10:37 pm
Cute.

Has Obama Played Health Care Exactly Right? Does It Even Matter?

Brad Haugaard Sep 1, 2009, 10:36 pm
When the laws are enacted, you're stuck with them. Better have your say now.
