Maryland and Rutgers cannot draw flies on TV which is why they are never on TV. Nate Silver did a nice analysis of the available data on fan bases a couple of years ago. Maryland will enter the Big...
I'm not buying it. I think the PE guys wanted to go Chapter 7 and may be in cahoots with the union at the national level. The PE guys in this deal are all liberal democrats with deep union roots. My...
I remain puzzled as to why I should care about this. The CIA was running an operation in Benghazi. They ere probably recycling weapons from the old government and re-purposing them to Syrian rebels. ...
I'm imagining those chocolate Easter bunnies with Obama's head. It works for both sides. If you hate him, you can bite his head off. If you love him, you can lick him in privacy.
Like all religions, Islam is shot through with every sort of self-deception. Taqiyya, in the Shi'a sect, lets you break every rule of the faith, if you are being persecuted or it is required to...
Depending upon the branch of Islam, fiction is not considered proper for a Muslim. Lying is expressly forbidden by the Koran. Whether or not "story telling" is lying depends upon the sect. On the...
Here's a little bit of arithmetic. We measure a nation's economy (GDP) by adding up the amount of money the people spend (Consumption) plus that which they save (Investment) plus what the government...
You would think that, but fanaticism stands between the fanatic and reality. You could spend all day explaining politics to this guy and he would keep responding with passages from the catechism....

I'll see your [insert clever betting item here]. The close polls all assume a turnout similar to 2008, a once in a lifetime combination of events. If you adjust these polls to reflect a more likely...
Typical moonbat. The cult points out the bogeymen and you run around chanting the approved insults. It is always the same. The [fill in name of bogeyman] is dumb, evil, corrupt.
I think Gary Johnson is just a kook. In fact, the whole Libertarian Party is a bunch of kooks. Go to one of their events. It is a freak show. While I sympathize with modern Libertarianism, the party...
I'm of the opposite mind. I hope to hell I never feel good about voting for anyone. Government is a necessary evil and the men who seek office are the worst amongst us. Our country would not be in...
I was not excited one way or the other about Obama in 2008. I thought he was an empty suit and maybe a bit of a dunce, but probably no worse than Bush or Clinton. I did not expect the invincible...
I agree with this. Bush's popularity fell through the floor in the run up to the 2006 election. It tracked with the dissatisfaction of conservatives with him, particularly on spending. McCain was...
