• Man Allegedly Disqualified From Being a Special Agent by One Push-Up…And Now He’s Suing the FBI

  April 10, 2012 at 7:33pm

  Beyond the craziness of different standards for men and women, (which make no sense to me) what kind a wimp is this guy? I’m probably over twice his age and can whip off 50+. The guy should have known the standard and worked out so that he could meet it.

• Presidential Historian: Obama State of the Union Bears ‘Uncanny’ Resemblance to Teddy Roosevelt’s 1906 Address

  January 26, 2012 at 2:14am

  Obama’s speech was written by the serial plagiarizer, Joe Biden. That’s also why the comprehension level is at the 8th grade level. We should be proud of Joe, though. For him, that’s really pushing it.

• Eleven ‘Stunning Revelations’ From a Confidential Economics Memo to Obama

  @ David11,

  True, however, the lower tax rate is primarily a function of having a Republican controlled House. Don’t forget, Obama has been preaching that “the ‘rich’ should pay their fair share” since he was elected.
  (Translation: raise taxes on high wage earners). Even going back to his first year in office when he passed his so-called “stimulus” bill of over $787B (a mind-boggling waste of the taxpayers’ money), he insisted that taxes should be raised “to pay for it”. This is the real truth. He wants to raise taxes, but can’t with a Republican House standing in his way. Why do you think he’s been preaching class warfare constantly–trying to galvanize public opinion against the Republicans and the so-called 1%? This, like everything else he has tried, has failed–it has only served to further divide this country and set us against each other.

  And, based on the above article, it seems that even his own senior advisors do not think that BO is on the correct path. So blast away at the “neocons” if it makes you feel better, but you’re completely missing the real target–BO and his economic vision of America..

  @Ritonmom–the BEST yet!!! Thank you!

• ‘The Taliban, Per Se, Is Not Our Enemy’: VP Biden’s Jaw-Dropping Gaffe

  December 19, 2011 at 2:43pm

  This guy is the penultimate definition of “empty suit”. What makes him such a comical character is that he is totally arrogant and condescending to others while, at the same time, he is an empty-headed doofus. I swear, if this guy ever had an original and rational thought in his brain, it would die of boredom.

• Report: Half of Schools Fail Federal Standards, Duncan Blames ‘No Child Left Behind’

  December 15, 2011 at 6:01pm

  Duncan blaming “No Child” is like the convicted bank robber blaming the bank for having all that money available. Rather than taking personal responsibility (Duncan, NEA, teachers) for failing to meet the performance standards, Duncan chooses to blame the standards for being there. Oh, and that dastardly George W. Bush . . . this administration’s favorite excuse for their own failures. Grow up!

• Iran Mocks Obama After He Asks For Downed Drone Back, Says He ‘Begs To Give Him Back His Toy Plane’

  December 14, 2011 at 12:15am

  I so proud of our President. He is a towering figure who commands respect from all . . . I‘m surprised Ahmadinejad just didn’t send him to bed without his supper.

• University Professor Rips Military, College Republicans in Letter

  The College Republicans should have saved some of that deodorant for the stink that is coming out of the Iowa State English department.

• Muslim Man Claims Whole Foods Fired Him Because of His Faith

  November 10, 2011 at 2:06pm

  As a considered expert in these matters (senior HR executive) my read on this story is that religion had nothing to do with this case, but instead, his downgrade to P/T and subsequent termination had everything to do with refusing a direct order from his supervisor; i.e. not taking the vacation and then taking it anyway. My guess is that he also gave a considerable amount of “attitude” when being denied his requested time off–further exacerbating the issue.

  This is a very common tactic used by people fired for cause–they hire an attorney and claim some type of discrimination (race. sex, age, religion, etc.). Unfortunately, it usually works as most companies find it easier/faster/cheaper to settle than to fight out every such case in court.
