December 20, 2009   Representative John Culberson, 7th District514 Longworth Building Washington DC 20515-4307   10000 Memorial Drive, Suite 620 Houston, TX  77024-3490   Dear Representative Culberson:   Thank you for your response to my letter expressing my opinion on health care reform with another of your empty, partisan, form letters written by someone on your staff. I truly appreciate the time it took one of your minions to add me to the distribution...

Senator Orrin Hatch on the floor of the Senate, speaking about the health care reform bill. From Think Progress: "This will become one more example of the arrogance of power being exerted since the Democrats secured a 60-vote majority in the United States Senate and took over the House and the White House. I dream some day of having the Republicans have 60 votes. I'll tell you one thing, I think we would finally have...

An oldy but goody for your Thanksgiving enjoyment:Have a great holiday...all of us are having a fun weekend and won't be posting much unless something newsworthy comes up.  Enjoy your family...and eat lots of turkey!Jefe...

What world do these people live in? From Media Matters, former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino on Hannity: "We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term."<br />....

Guest blogged by our friend, bubbabobcat:In honor of Veterans Day, I would like to acknowledge a soldier and an American who represents the best in us through and through despite the trials and tribulations bestowed upon him by his fellow fallible man.   General Eric K. Shinseki who is a West Point graduate, Vietnam War combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient, rose through the ranks to become the Army Chief of staff in 1999 and...

I get more than little weary of the constant harping from the nattering nabobs of negativity about the failure of the economic stimulus package which is proven by, in their narrow, ill-informed minds, the still-rising unemployment rate. Their favorite moan being that President Obama "promised" that the unemployment rate wouldn't top 8% if the stimulus were passed, it's now in excess of 10%, therefore the stimulus is a failure. A few salient points, which I...

With all deference to Desperado, I wanted to piggy back on his idea of looking back at the last year since Obama was elected president. However, instead of evaluating his performance, I wanted to take a look at the political landscape. Obama made a lot of noise about changing the tone in Washington. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last. George W. Bush made the same pledge when he went to Washington....

On This Week yesterday, George Will responded to former VP Cheney's charge that the Obama administration needs to "stop dithering" on Afghanistan with what should be the standard reply to anyone from the Bush administration who has the temerity to criticize President Obama as he deliberates the significant troop increase requested by General McChrystal: "A bit of dithering might have been in order before we went into Iraq in pursuit of non-existent weapons of mass...

I hate to have to do this, but I have to come at an issue from the opponents point of view. As Desperado told you this morning, President Obama won the Nobel Peace prize. Don't get me wrong, I am generally behind Obama's efforts to use diplomacy more than the way of the gun. I think he has had some achievements in his short time, but most of them are on the level of promise...

A trip down Hypocrisy Lane. Remember Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Damascus in April of 2007 to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad?  President Bush called it "counterproductive" and Sen. Joe Lieberman said it was "bad for America." The right-wing blogosphere was throwing a tantrum. Hot Air called it "undermining our foreign policy." Sister Toldjah asked, "Can we question their patriotism now?" The headline at WorldNetDaily was "Terrorists Go Ga-Ga Over Pelosi's Trip." Jammie Wearing...
