SHOULD HILLARY RUN NEXT TIME?

April 21, 2012

Hillary Clinton is soaring these days.  Both her worldwide influence and her domestic popularity are at an all-time peak.

WHO SHOULD CAIN ENDORSE?

December 4, 2011

Well, sadly, we won’t have Herman Cain to kick around any more.  The disgraced southener bailed  out from the GOP presidential campaign, not because women accused him of sex but because his family is hurting.

SHOULD THEY TRY FOR BUSH?

October 14, 2011

I don’t understand why Canadian oil billionaires keep inviting George Bush up here to give a vapid speech at a hundred grand a pop. But sure enough Bush will be up here again next week. And as the same time, Amnesty International has come up with an interesting idea. Amnesty has called on the Canadian [...]

WHY DID PALIN CHICKEN OUT?

October 6, 2011

After months of political strip tease, Sarah Palin finally decided.  She won’t run for president after all.  Her explanation is that she puts her family, God and the country in that order. Far more likely she looked at the data and threw  up her hands.  She has the highest unfavourable ratings of any politician in [...]
