Here's to you, Mr. President: He never wavered. He never faltered. He never surrendered. Despite all the naysayers. Including a host of whiners at Newsweek. It seems so long ago. When the word president meant so much more than it does now.

Imagine the delight of a retired president, roosting in Dallas where a presidential library and think tank are being erected in his name and reading the morning headline about Americans missing him. Then again, Matt Damon's Green Zone also made a debut with a graphic and dramatic reminder that the premise for going to war in Iraq was groundless (No WMD's). The Fort Worth Star-Telegram arrived with news that that billboard in Minnesota picturing a smiling George W. Bush with the question, "Miss me yet?'' isn't the only sign of 43 Nostalgia cropping up these days. T-shirts, hats, coffee mugs and other Bushaphernalia are cropping up on the Internet as well. It seems ...

Yep, I guess those Muslims finally caught on. Gosh darn it! What are we going to do now that the media have been busted foisting a faux Muslim into the starring role of a Wall Street con artist and military industrial complex front man all wrapped into one. Oh, and don’t forget the political correctness while you’re at it. Yep, ...
Flaming Liberal Says the Economic Recovery is a Sham

Are we finally in a recovery? Who's "we," kemosabe? Big global companies, Wall Street, and high-income Americans who hold their savings in financial instruments are clearly doing better. As to the rest of us – small businesses along Main Streets, and middle and lower-income Americans – forget it. Business cheerleaders naturally want to emphasize the positive. They assume the economy runs on optimism and that if average consumers think the economy is getting better, they'll empty their wallets more readily and – presto! – the economy will get better. The cheerleaders fail to understand that regardless of how people feel, they won't spend if they ...

By DAVID CATANESE | 3/12/10 3:00 PM EST Sen. John McCain's campaign is calling on his primary challenger to disavow the backing of an anti-illegal immigration group that the campaign says permits the use of derisive epithets sometimes used for immigrants on its website. But the North Carolina-based Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) tells POLITICO those phrases have only appeared in a discussion board on their site and said no member of their group has ever used the offensive terms. ALIPAC organizer William Gheen said the group did not delete the term "Operation Wetback" from postings because it referred to President Dwight Eisenhower's historical effort to remove ...
Thanks To Liz Cheney's 'al-Qaeda Seven' Ad, Dick Cheney May Finally Go Away

It's true that the former vice president's daughter, perhaps hoping to supplant David Addington as "Cheney's Cheney," evoked Sen. Joe McCarthy recently when she challenged the loyalty and patriotism of nine Justice Department lawyers who had represented Guantanamo detainees before joining the department. Since then, virtually anyone who is anyone has taken a page from the same history, channeled Joseph Welch and asked Cheney, "Have you no sense of decency?" The infamous "al-Qaeda Seven" ad put out by Cheney's Keep America Safe organization has incurred the wrath not only of the usual suspects on the left, but of many members of the Bush ...

(03-13) 10:41 PST Salt Lake City (AP) -- Utah's House majority leader has resigned, two days after his confession about sitting nude in a hot tub with a teenage girl 25 years ago stunned the conservative state. Republican Rep. Kevin Garn said Saturday that stepping down is in the best interests of his family, his colleagues and the people of Utah. In an e-mail message to House Speaker David Clark, Garn apologized for becoming a distraction. The 55-year-old Garn acknowledged the indiscretion late Thursday immediately after the Legislature adjourned for the session. He says he paid the woman, Cheryl Maher, $150,000 to keep quiet about the episode when he unsuccessfully ran for ...

More than a year after President George W. Bush left the White House, some people are getting a little sentimental about him. Several weeks ago, a billboard popped up in Minnesota featuring a cheery picture of Bush smiling and waving, next to the phrase "Miss me yet?" Now T-shirts, hats, coffee mugs and other items featuring the same photo and phrase are selling on the Internet at a steady clip. This is a far friendlier reception than when Bush left office Jan. 20, 2009, with an approval rating of 22 percent — the lowest for a president in at least 70 years. It also comes after a year of Democratic-led initiatives in Congress, including federal stimulus projects and ...

Garn said the woman, who he didn't identify on the floor, has been calling news outlets and that he wanted to be open about the incident that occurred when he was 28 years old, before any stories appeared. A woman identifying herself as Cheryl Maher told The Salt Lake Tribune that she and Garn were in a hot tub nude when she was 15 years old. "This has just been a nightmare for me," Maher said in a ...

(03-12) 07:29 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) -- President Barack Obama has delayed his visit to Asia, his first international trip of the year, to focus on the push to salvage health care legislation after a year of contentious debate. The trip to Guam, Australia and Indonesia — the world's most populous Muslim country, where Obama spent several years as a youngster — will now run from March 21-26, rather than March 18-24, according to a senior administration official who spoke condition of anonymity because the White House hadn't announced the delay. The trip was scheduled to coincide with his daughters' spring vacation from school, but now his family apparently will not ...

Republican leaders are prodding former Bush adviser Dan Senor to challenge Democrat Kristin Gillibrand for her New York Senate seat, the New York Times reported Thursday. Senor, an author, private equity executive, former Defense Department adviser to President George W. Bush and husband of CNN's Campbell Brown, is the latest on a list of candidates vetted by the GOP as potential New York Senate candidates. Though Rudy Giuliani, George Pataki and Mort Zuckerman didn't bite, the Times reports that Senor might seriously be considering sinking his teeth into this political endeavor. A number of Republican bigwigs are now encouraging Senor to throw his hat in the ring. Former New York ...

JACKSON, Miss. – Constance McMillen didn't believe her Mississippi school district would really call off her senior prom rather than allow her to show up with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.
On Thursday, a day after the Itawamba County school board did just that, the 18-year-old lesbian high school senior reluctantly returned to campus to some unfriendly looks, she said.
"Somebody said, 'Thanks for ruining my senior year.'" McMillen said.
The district announced Wednesday it wouldn't host the April 2 prom. The decision came after the American Civil Liberties Union demanded that officials change a policy banning same-sex prom dates because it violated students' rights. And the ...

Neal Horsley, 65, was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, about 50 miles west of Atlanta, said Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport. He would not say who Horsley is accused of threatening, but Horsley's son, Nathan, said he thought the arrest was connected to the video about the musician. In the video posted Feb. 28 on YouTube, Horsley held the sign in front of a building where he said John has a condo. John's publicist, Fran Curtis, confirmed that John has an Atlanta apartment ...

(03-11) 15:59 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) -- President Barack Obama plans to donate the $1.4 million from his Nobel Peace Prize to helping students, veterans' families and survivors of Haiti's earthquake, among others, drawing attention to organizations he said "do extraordinary work."

And the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, for which two former presidents are raising money to rebuild earthquake-ravaged Haiti, will receive $200,000. "These ...

March 11 (Bloomberg) -- Natural gas futures fell to a 15- week low in New York after a government report showed supplies of the fuel will be ample during milder-than-normal weather at the end of the heating season. Inventories shrank 111 billion cubic feet in the week ended March 5 to 1.626 trillion cubic feet, according to the Energy Department report today. Supplies were 1.2 percent above the five-year average, unchanged from last week’s report. Stockpiles typically drop this time of year as heating needs boost demand. “We’re going to end the heating season a little bit above the five-year average,” said Tom Orr, research director at Weeden & Co., a brokerage in ...

He forwarded a joke racist email to 12 prominent Nashville citizens (all white males) comparing Michelle Obama to Tarzan’s chimp Cheeta, with the introductory message, “Quoting Larry the Cable Guy … I don’t care who you are, this is funny.” Hahahah, hilarious, right? Comparing African Americans to apes has long been part of dehumanizing, which suggests that people of color are less than human. And when the good ole Tennessee boy Walt Baker was first asked about the email, he dismissed any ...
