Today.

So I’m having sort of an author tryout over at Wizbang today. They’re letting a bunch of us post over there for a week and the winner will get a full time gig.
If you don’t already frequent Wizbang, I recommend that you do. Especially today since I’ll be posting over there…:) And who knows, if [...]

Mongo only pawn . . . in game of life.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to approve $250 payments to more than 50 million seniors to make up for no increase in Social Security next year.
The White House put the cost at $13 billion.
The Social Security Administration is scheduled to announce Thursday that there will be no cost of living [...]

Obama, Jack and Squat.

In the world of SNL, life often imitates art.  NBC’s darling President Obama was not spared this weekend, and this opening sketch sums things up somewhat nicely.  I say somewhat because despite the mocking of what little our President has not done, the unbelievable spending, lack of promised transparency, and general dividing of our nation [...]

I would like to issue an apology..

To those male students at Hofstra University – you know who you are and I don’t even know you. I didn’t say it publicly, but I had a thing or two to say about how you should be treated in prison for what you all “did” to that girl. It wasn’t pretty. [...]

Obama’s Little Comment

I just heard an excerpt this morning on the Glen Beck Show (yeah, I listen to that) of the President’s interview with George Stepenopolus (I really do not care how you spell it – you know who I’m talking about) where George asks the President about ACORN and the President pretty much blows him off [...]

Are you a RACIST?

It is no secret to readers of this blog that Jonah Goldberg kicks some serious ass, and this article does not disappoint.  Apparently anyone who opposes the President is a racist.  It does not matter if the reason you oppose him has nothing to do with his race; it is automatically assumed because our President and [...]

Inspiration?

I don’t know if this is true or not, but supposedly, the President is addressing all school children on Sept 8th (when most go back to school). This in itself does not annoy me. The President could (although I find it unnessessary) give a little pep talk to kids coming off a lazy [...]

*sigh* healthcare

I’m just tired of it already. No matter what these clowns in Washington do or say, the system won’t be better. And it will never be better as long as the insurance companies have any say in it. The debate is frought (love that word)with double standards…why is it not ok to [...]

New look.

Hello, readers!
I’ve decided to spruce up the joint in honor of the arrival of 2 new authors to True Sailing Is Dead. You can now see who’s writing what right at the top of each post. There are also 3 columns now instead of 2, which means you won’t have to scroll all the way [...]

Grand old flag.

Further to my ‘Air Dancers’ post, can you imagine how the Left would have reacted if Bush had announced a plan for his constituents to rat out non-conforming leftists at an official White House complaint box?
But Obama can do it without anyone batting an eye? Where’s the ACLU? Where’s the outrage?
Looks like we can all [...]

We Have Two Weeks People.

So we just got back from San Francisco (where, by the way it was really, really cold!!) where we spent a few days for the NAPO convention. (NAPO stands for the National Association of Police Organizations). I was just tagging along with my husband, who is a police union leader and had to [...]

Hello There Readers!

Hi! I’m the newest addition to TrueSailingisDead and I still can’t believe I agreed to do this. I can’t write anywhere near as well as Al does and I tend to loose my point halfway through so although I’ve started a few draft posts, I’ve abandoned them because I completely lost track [...]

Asterisk.

Best line:
“There’s much more of a demand for health care than the government is willing to pay for”
Brilliant line by Sally Pipes. Think about it. Doesn’t it remind you of the little asterisk you see attached to deals that are too good to be true?
FREE* donuts!
(*limit 1 per customer)
Or the classic [...]

New contributor.

Hello, loyal readers—
As you might have guessed by my recent sabbatical/hiatus, sometimes writing this blog requires just a little bit more energy than I’m able to give. That’s why I recently reached out to a friend of the blog (and to the Author!) to lend a hand and keep the place interesting in the event [...]

Reagan on Socialized Medicine.

Pop some corn, close your eyes, and channel the Gipper for a few minutes as he clearly explains why socialized medicine is an awful and unAmerican idea.

By the way, here’s the Norman Thomas quote:
“The American people will never vote for socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ the American people will [...]

Hiatus

Boy, it’s been quite a month, huh? I know there are a few of you out there who actually follow what I’m doing here and to you I apologize for the lack of content here the past month. No excuses really (certainly not a lack of news!) other than the fact that I was tired [...]

Serious business.

The problem of Obama is not a small one. This isn’t a fight on the margins. There is no general consensus. When Rush says that he hopes he fails, no rational person can disagree. Obama is a radical. That’s plain now. Certain people saw it before, but enough race-drunk fools refused to. His vision is [...]

Does he stand a puncher’s chance?

Chris Brown up for Kids’ Choice Award?
In 2007, Chris Brown released his second album, “Exclusive,” with two Top Ten singles, “Follow You” and “Kiss, Kiss” with T-Pain, which climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, made Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2007 and was voted #1 on MTV’s 27 Essential R&B Songs of [...]

This is Obama’s market.

How long will we let him get away with blaming this on his predecessors? How soon before we require this guy to take some accountability for making a bad situation worse? It’s clear that the markets are responding to his policies and nothing besides.
This yesterday from Bloomberg.com:
March 6 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama now has [...]

Do they make a morning after pill for this?

They’re fleeing Obama like rats from a sinking ship:
A couple of implications here are worth noting. The first is that a deep, recurring pattern of American life has asserted itself yet again: the cluelessness of the elite.
Buckley, Gergen and Brooks all attended expensive private universities, then spent their careers moving among the wealthy and powerful [...]

You didn’t think they actually care about the environment, do you?

Never forget the agenda.
Democrats don’t love the environment because they love trees. They have embraced the politics of “Environmentalism” because they can use it as a vehicle to strip the American people of even more of their hard-earned dollars.
Witness Obama’s proposed ‘cap and trade’ plan:
Under [Obama's proposed 'cap and trade'] system, the government sets an [...]

Where do they think taxes come from?

Mayor Mike gets it right:
Mayor Bloomberg warned yesterday that proposals to tax the rich will backfire and end up hurting the poor whom they are intended to help.
“They [the wealthy] are the ones that buy in the stores so that people that work in the stores have jobs in the stores, generate sales tax,” he [...]

Friendly reminder.

Obama is so fond of saying that he inherited a mess and that he should therefore be absolved from all resonsibility as long as things are going bad.
Lest we forget, here’s some video documenting how we got here.

Be very afraid.

This from CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday:

“Until they realize that their agenda is destroying the life savings of millions of Americans, then all I can give you is caution… I’m not saying Mr. President go stare at the Bloomberg quote machine and come to your senses. I just want some sign [...]

Rockin’ and a-rollin’, splishin’ and a-splashin’.

So have you heard about the Tea Party phenomenon that’s been sweeping the nation? Maybe “sweeping” is too “American Bandstand” for you, but there’s definitely a movement afoot in towns and cities across the nation to protest the abominable government spending programs enacted recently by the Obama administration.
Here’s a Foxnews report:

And [...]
