Even though Tea Party members may not like the final deal, they can surely declare victory for getting congress to deal with fixing the country’s outrageous debt situation. They set the terms of the debate where neither establishment GOPers nor Democrats wanted to go.It’s not a perfect fix, far from it. But, it’s a small step in the right direction. The big loser is President Obama who stayed on the sidelines and showed just...

As I expected this Kabuki dance between the Dems and the GOP was coming down to the last wire. Basically, this deal that both sides are not going to like does nothing to stop the rate of spending. Instead of going over the cliff at 100 mph, we’re slowing down to 92. It’s kicking the can down the road, as usual.ABC NewsDemocratic and Republican Congressional sources involved in the negotiations tell ABC News that a tentative agreement...

One thing I find really annoying in my line of work:Like it or not, most people now have home computers, smartphones, and access to the internet pretty much everywhere they go. (And if you're going to Outer Mongolia or some other place where you don't have it, leave an out of office message that says so.)There is absolutely NO reason why a member of the press should not be able to contact someone immediately in response to a press...

I was saying to a good friend of mine who’s really concerned about the country might go into default, not to worry. This whole song and dance going on in Washington is exactly that, a show to scare the Be-jesus out of people, so when a deal finally gets cut, most people won’t pay attention to the details of a crappy deal that solves absolutely nothing. The Washington PostLook closely at the Reid and...

Despite what the Obama-suck media is screwing over the airwaves, the only people coming up with plans to address the financial situation of the United States are the Republicans. The Democrats offer no plans and just criticize the GOP to score cheap political points with voters.

A “time travelling woman” has appeared in the Shanghai Metro. Recently, a woman who claims to have been “sent through time” sits lengthwise at the exit to the subway station asking pedestrians for money so she can return to her home town 500 years in the past. What is even more dumbfounding is that this ancient woman even takes out and iPhone 4 to ask for mobile phone numbers from the passing crowd. Is she "real" or merely engaged...

I’ve been saying for weeks that the debt ceiling should not be raised-period. If a person was a million dollars in debt, spends more money a year that he takes in, then says he’s going to cut 500,000, but not in one year, rather in 10 years as he continues to spend more as his income, a rationale assessment would be that the person is stupid. This is exactly John Boehner’s plan that cuts spending over ten years as the country...
