This man is a stooge

Yesterday, to mark Black History Month, our new U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder got up in front of an audience and called us a "nation of cowards."

I hate to take anything out of context. So, when I heard the outrageous news reports of the incident, I quickly got my hands on the entire text of his little speech.

He really said those words. And, he justified them with a rather poor argument that we are afraid to talk about race in America.

What a load of hooey.

The last time I checked, not only are Mr. Holder and the president he serves both African Americans. But, the heads of both major political parties are also black men.

Clearly, our country as a whole is a lot more comfortable with our multi-racial/cultural environment than is Mr. Holder.

Evidently, he will not be content unless we are constantly talking about our feelings. (More likely, he would expect us all to sit quietly while he pontificates.)

I say we have some bigger fish to fry, and maybe he needs to get to work administering some justice or something that fits his job description.

Hope and change.

How many port-o-lets does it take . . .

Usually, Sunday mornings are a wonderful experience around this little corner of heaven. There's coffee with that decadent flavored creamer. There's the comfy chair and ottoman. And, there's all the news shows that help yours truly keep up with what's going on in the world.

But, I am just about ready to blow a gasket this Sunday morning.

For the life of me, I can't understand how the media is giving The Disaster in Waiting a pass on all his crappy cabinet nominees.

We've got an incoming Secretary of State whose been shaking-down world leaders to the tune of millions of dollars to support her morally-bankrupt husband's "foundation." And, we're supposed to believe she won't take who gave how much into account when she's in charge of our foreign policy?!

We've got an incoming Secretary of Treasury who hires illegal aliens and doesn't pay his taxes.

We've got an incoming Attorney General who pardons tax dodgers and domestic terrorists.

At least Bill Richardson had the decency to bow-out.

But, all the others are on the fast track to get rubberstamped by Harry Reid and his ilk.

I guarantee you, if it was John McCain or any other incoming Republican president nominating people like this to top cabinet posts, the media would be outraged.

Instead, we get wall-to-wall coverage of how many port-o-lets are going to be in DC for the coronation on Tuesday morning. No matter the number, I guarantee they'll all be overflowing by noon with so many people who are so full of crap being on hand . . .
