So says David Axelrod over on CNN, where the headline informs that Negativity isn’t Obama’s closing message. Um, OK. Absolutely nothing negative in The One’s latest ad spot, about a world “where gays can be fixed and sick people just die and oil fills the sea.” Nope, pure positive energy and a laser focus on […]
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume this wasn’t highlighted on the Charlotte Chamber’s inter-city visit NYC itinerary: A city cop with a taste for human flesh was charged Thursday with plotting to kidnap, torture, “slow cook” and eat women he tracked down through law enforcement databases. Accused cannibal cop Gilberto Valle, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are rolling into Sunday’s game sporting throwback jerseys from 1934, which have been roundly panned by critics – including team president Art Rooney II, who conceded they looked “like a prison uniform” when they were unveiled earlier this year to help celebrate the franchise’s 80th anniversary. Bumble Bee Convicts? A preview courtesy […]
Four Americans were betrayed and left to die in Benghazi, while Team Obama sat on their collective thumbs watching the 9/11 terrorist attack on the US consulate unfold. This from Fox News: Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military […]
I’m all for a robust GOTV effort, but a push in Eagle Rock, Calif., took it to a new, um, high: Fliers offering $40 worth of free medical-grade marijuana were reportedly passed out in Eagle Rock to try and draw residents to vote in the local election. Was the free pot an incentive to get […]
Of the pseudo sexual-electoral type, that is, via the latest desperation ad from the Obama campaign that manages to grossly insult young women as it tries to woo their vote. The spot, featuring Lena Dunham from the HBO series Girls is laced with double entendre that simultaneously plays ditzy and creepy as it conflates a young […]
That would be the one that didn’t focus on Big Bird, binders, and bayonets; the one where candidates, instead, held forth on trifling matters like federal laws that allow for the indefinite detention of American citizens without charge or trial. What? You didn’t see that debate? Join the crowd. I don’t have any official numbers, […]
Are central bankers about to embrace the real world? The events at most central banking conclaves are a total, excruciating, bore. The recent gathering of the Federal Reserve’s tribes at Jackson Hole, however, produced an elegant, compelling, presentation by rising star central banker Andy Haldane. Finally, a youth in the banquet hall declaring that the […]
This week marked the third and final debate among the two major party contenders for President. I, for one, was disappointed to not hear any solid plans on how either candidate would address the invasion of Canadian music. Be that as it may, I believe Barack Obama won the debate. The President came into the debate looking […]
Amendment 18 to the US Constitution was ratified in 1919: liquor was prohibited in the United States. In 1933, only 14 years later, Amendment 18 was repealed by the 21st amendment to the US Constitution. Why? Because of the violence? Because of the cost to society? Because of the death? Fast forward to 2012. Almost […]
