Happy Birthday America, from soon-to-be ex-Gov. Sarah Palin. She's given you the ultimate gift.
Pregnancy, she added, "does change you. Change can be for the better, because you can find little tricks that help you."
The Republican Party is the party of...women. This is, actually, not the least bit of a hyperbolic statement.
So far, all of the billions, or should I say trillions of dollars the federal government has spent to stimulate our nation's failing economy has gone ...
Obama's plans will likely include support for a change in the federal definition of a small business as being "independently owned."
Meg Whitman's real expertise is in globalization. Which is the nice way of saying Asian sweatshops. I'm not saying everything Whitman touches turns to slave labor, I'm just not saying it doesn't.
Happy New Year! We've had the pleasure of helping to create and now write and and moderate this automotive blog beginning in June, 2008, and so far i...
This Thanksgiving weekend, as I watched events unfold abroad, I was most grateful that the foolishness of election time is over.
No group in America would have more trouble adjusting to an Obama presidency than the Bush Liberals. Yes, there really is such a thing as a Bush Liberal. Let me explain.
The "small government" Bush and Republican Congress increased spending, thus replacing the budget surplus bequeathed them with deficits.
The credit crisis that began in 2007 and triggered the current turmoil is unique in its ferocity, especially because so many large companies are experiencing unprecedented credit and liquidity problems.
McCain knows that it takes more than adrenaline - or testosterone for that matter - to respond to threats of war. He obviously chose Palin primarily because she is a woman. It is cynical.
The meltdown on Wall Street last week wasn't the only one. We got a glimpse of McCain under fire, and it wasn't pretty. America needs a president who provides a steady hand under pressure.
The shaky foundations of the McCain platform continue to quiver as McCain appears to be flip-flopping from one position to the next on a variety of issues.
In 10 days Sarah Palin's standing has crashed an awesome 24 points, with a clear majority now having a negative opinion of the Alaska Governor. This k...
Now that it has thoroughly discredited the market economy it was ostensibly pushing, the Republican Party is left with no clear, logical economic agenda.
2) What does Sarah Palin have in common with Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina in the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant?
Questioning Sarah Palin about her resume, or asking for government regulation in the economy are not examples of Elitism or Populism, and there's no need to redefine these perfectly good words.
Things have been heating up politically and Jay Rosen has been steadily posting interesting stuff to Twitter, so I couldn't think of anyone I wanted t...
Interestingly, Sarah Palin appears to be the perfect person to carry out a dead-old-man-walking strategy.

Actually she never said that running a major corporation was more difficult than running the United States. She said different skill sets.
Of course both are far less difficult than writing a blog.
Senator Obama also needs to get out an ad revealing that if any one person is responsible for the deregulations that have caused the current financial meltdown, it is none other than Senator McCain's good buddy Phil Gramm. Gramm snuck in the legislation that deregulated this paticular den of thieves, although it is fair to say that the whole lot of them onthe hill bear responsibility for passing the legislation.
The fact that Gramm is now McCain's financial advisor should be shouted from the rooftops repeatedly. Open your windows and scream it out, like Peter Finch.
I trust Obama. He is so smart!!! He will do an awesome job. He will be working so hard for us. We'll actually be able to turn this Country around. So many people on both sides of the isle respect this man. Finally a SMART GOVERNMENT with Obama/Biden 08.
Be honest with yourself ., A race for the white house this year.
Think relay , Everyone's watched a relay at one time maybe in school or at the university.
The Baton is clutched in hand at the start , and after the sprint run , who is choosen to recieve the
pass of the Baton to post a win for the crowd ?
The military squad knows it takes a team to win. We need a winner .
Seems like this story ended at: "Yes Carly, this, unlike the HP CEO role, is an office for which on-the-job-training is OK."
Then, unhappy Andy ranted on about McCain's 'fundamentals' quotes. I think Andy would have a point if the "22 times this year" McCain ACTUALLY said "The economy IS strong", right? And then he's labeled a 'flip-flop' when he is asked to explain what fundamentals mean.. huh? The very basic FUNDAMENTALS that are carried out all over the US by responsible, hourly wage people that work hard and don't expect something for nothing from the government, is a STRONG FUNDAMENTAL. It's the top end where greed fuels corruption and then at the very bottom where people EXPECT the government to do it all for them that we have problems. What if he said, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong, but we are seeing some tough times right now."
Where is the, Oil is BELOW $100 a barrel headlines? Or that even though oil spiked well above $150 this year, it is still at or less than what it was at the beginning of year per barrel? What will it say about the economy in a month or two when gas is $3 or less a gallon again? I know that still won't be good enough for most of you.
The price of oil is dropping because the price of essentials, you know, like food and mortgages are rising. People no longer have the means to buy gas, so demand is dropping.
And no matter how you try and spin it, the fundamentals of this economy, as noted by EVERY economist in the frikkin world, are based on wages, jobs, etc.
Everything else is just neocon spin.
Carly Fiorina is right because there is one fundamental difference between running a multinational corporation and running a Country as President. In the former there is actual accountability and in the latter you can be a George W Bush who can run just about everything into the ground but still win a re-election by hook or by crook or by simply cunning marketing!
Just look at the women in Congress in the USofA. Just look at their "leader" Nancy Pelosi?! The Republicans are still "getting it done" because the Dem leadership refuses to stand up to them! From votes on the Iraq war to FISA to "offshore drilling", the Right has trumped the Left repeatedly, ad nauseum and ad infinitum!!!
Fiorina had the courage to take on the HP Board and push through the Compaq merger. She even took on the Hewlitt and Packard families for crying out loud! She wasn't a "nobody" or some "blowhorn" who was elected or selected, she rose from the ranks and got into that position by sheer dint of hard work and business acumen
Women like her should be applauded for their achievements and lauded for being straight shooters ...
Nice spin attempt, but it doesn't fly. And the complexities of the economic problems we face, go a lot deeper than the price of oil dropping, A LOT DEEPER!
