February 08, 2010It’s now official, the Super Bowl is the biggest thing in America, bar none. I wonder what an alien race would say if they were to watch a telecast of yesterday’s game? Somehow I don’t think it would be very kind.

Four Twenty Eight [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
February 02, 2010The number of service members discharged due to the failed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy” has been revealed. Last year, it was 428. While almost 200 people lower than 2008’s figure, that is still a lot of people trying to do their jobs only to have their lives ruined.

Big News Month; Is Any of it Good? [ by James Linkin] [News You Can Abuse]
January 31, 2010One of the refrains from the days of the Bush Regime was that the Bush White House was so incredibly assiduous in rending the fabric of our republic to unrecognizable tatters that it was physically impossible to keep abreast of it all. Every person of conscience suffered from chronic outrage fatigue.

Abstinence-Only Sex Ed a Bust [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
January 28, 2010As if it wasn’t clear already, abstinence-only education was (and is) a bust. A new study shows that teen pregnancy went up 3% from 2005 - 2006. Guess who was in charge? Yup, abstinence-loving bible toting Republicans. File under “told you so.”

Health Care’s First Victim [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
January 19, 2010Scott Brown defeats Martha Coakley. The earth didn’t stop rotating but Democrats got their comeuppance. We’re afraid a lot more is in store this year in the face of complete Democratic incompetence. And in this case the fingers have to point all the way at the top - Obama, Emmanuel, Reid and everyone else who mismanaged health care are responsible for the ultimate sullying of Ted Kennedy’s name and legacy. What a tragedy.

The NY Times today reports on the efforts among scientists to study the potential benefits of medical marijuana and the impossibility of getting a study approved. Yup, the Feds may have laid off state medical marijuana clinics but the old bogeyman still exists. What are we afraid of guys? Relieving pain and suffering?

January 17, 2010Martha Coakley has turned assured victory into potential disaster. Add in Jon Corzine and Creigh Deeds and you have the makings of a media narrative that will spin for months until the Dem majority in the House is toast. Too bad it will once again be the wrong narrative.

After a Year of Tsuris, This Is What We Get? [ by James Linkin] [News You Can Abuse]
January 08, 2010Peggy Noonan has written in the WSJ about a pending “Catastrophic Victory” for Republicans in the coming Congressional elections this November. Essentially, she makes the point that if Republicans are victorious only as a consequence of the self-destruction of the Democrats, then we’re all screwed, because they won’t return to power with anything remotely resembling a coherent governing philosophy or platform. About this, she’s half right. Regardless of how the Republicans manage their campaign and legislative initiatives, if they win, we’re screwed.

The Obama Fumble [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
January 05, 2010Vacationer in Chief. That’s what they’re throwing at Obama in the wake of last month’s airline security debacle. And you know what, they’re not half wrong. Because American politics is in large part about perception. And the perception out there right now is pretty bad for the President.

The Madness That is Airport Security [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
December 27, 2009Let’s face it folks, the terrorists will always be ahead of us. Even if we strip search every passenger, in the end they will find a way around security measures. So what is society to do? For starters, focus on what works, not what doesn’t.

December 22, 2009Maj. Gen. Anthony Cucolo is backing off his threat from yesterday to throw pregnant battlefield soldiers - and their husbands - in jail according to ABC News. That’s great but do we need ignoramuses like this in the military? Memo to Sec Def Gates - put this guy out to pasture.

New York State Senate Blocks Gay Marriage [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
December 02, 2009The rights of gays to marry suffered a blow today when legalization was stopped in the New York State Senate. Only 24 of 62 Senators voted in favor. So in spite of heavy support in the Assembly and by Governor Paterson, 8 people stopped equal rights for gays. They should be ashamed of themselves.

How Obama Can Beat the Republican Terror Trial Meme [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
November 16, 2009Considering their campaign that managed its message so well, the Obama administration continues to be a trainwreck when it comes to controlling stories. Since they don’t seem capable of framing the Gitmo terror trial story, that means we have to do it for them.
