A None Too Subtle Shift
[ by Michael T] [Rantings & Ravings] October 02, 2007Readers of this website may have noticed a none too subtle shift in what we’ve written about in the past year. As we have watched in horror at the ineffectiveness of Democrats to both get out their message and effectively prove countermeasure to the Bush Administration, we have come to the conclusion that our government has gone past incompetence straight to criminal negligence. As such, OutrageNation has begun to take a new direction, one where we are less than sympathetic to hapless Democrats even though at least 2 of us are registered in that party.

OK, NOW can we talk about partition?
[ by James Linkin] [Rantings & Ravings] June 06, 2007Finally, there seems to be some broad recognition that partition in Iraq is inevitable. But General Petraeus is still pursuing counterinsurgency. How many more will die before our policy aligns with reality?

A Simple Solution to the Tyranny of Spam
[ by Michael T] [Rantings & Ravings] December 07, 2006I remember when spamming was a big topic of discussion. The government even weighed in, in its patently useless way. These days we don’t hear anything about how to solve it. Meanwhile, we slog through piles of it every day. So I have decided to reignite the debate. Simply put, we need the death penalty for spammers.

Remember the Latinos? [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
July 24, 2008The GOP has been losing Latinos for years. It was thought that John McCain would have a better chance of staunching that loss due to his formerly moderate immigration stance. As it turns out, that is not the case at all.

Two Faced Express [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
July 23, 2008So Republicans don’t like all the attention Obama is getting overseas? Tough nuggums. After all, McCain was one of them that suggested Obama go and see for himself what’s going on in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Palin Express Derailed [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
July 22, 2008The GOP has long been dominated by old white men so it was interesting when the future of the party suddently seemed to be centered on two dynamic newcomers - Gov Sarah Palin of Alaska and Gov Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. Unfortuntely for the GOP, the shine has come off the Palin wagon this week. That’s the last thing the party needs.

Brother, Can You Spare a Buck? [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
July 03, 2008Yesterday our demented commander in chief again proclaimed his belief in a strong dollar. Unfortunately for Americans, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this line from Mr. Bush. As usual, it adds up to a load of bunk.

Exxon Mobil Takes it to the Bank [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 25, 2008Today’s ludicrous Supreme Court ruling getting Exxon Mobil off the hook for a couple of billion reminds us how much the Supreme Court likes to sell out Americans. You’d be surprised how often that happens.

How Democracy Does Not Work [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 18, 2008Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) is a known crackpot and gadfly. He’s also the most adept politician to ever grind the Senate to the halt. Question is how can this happen?

Some Truths for Father’s Day [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 15, 2008One thing you can say about Barack Obama - he is not going to let African-Americans off the hook just because he relies on their votes. Today he gave a Father’s Day speech and it turned out to be a doozy.

Obama’s Running Mate Quandary [ by James Linkin] [News You Can Abuse]
June 09, 2008Much ink has been spilled on why Hillary can’t be Barack’s running mate, but I for one think we need to solicit her input, for better or for worse. She after all will have to be the one to sell Obama to her disaffected supporters.

You Have No Choice But to Vote for Obama [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 06, 2008I had a conversation with a very angry Hillary supporter today and I tried to convince her that she needs to vote for Obama. Maybe it’s just too soon. Anyway, I started thinking about ways to convince Hillary supporters to vote for Obama. Here’s a short list - feel free to add to it.

A Look at the Future? [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 02, 2008Today the New York Times ran a piece on the changes in Louisiana under the Bobby Jindal regime. Jindal has long been a rising star in the Republican party and now his name is on McCain’s shortlist for VP. As you will see, that is a scary thing indeed.

The Global Heating Crisis is NOW [ by James Linkin] [News You Can Abuse]
May 31, 2008Anyone who thinks otherwise should consider the following fact: severely violent weather, the kind that causes loss of life or mass displacements, is now four times more frequent than it was just 30 years ago. And no country is more affected by these severe weather incidents than ours.

Never Look a Gift Bush in the Mouth [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
May 16, 2008GWB really stepped in it yesterday in giving Barack Obama a reason to attack him and McCain for their foreign policy ineptitude. Obama’s campaign should issue a hearty thank you. For now, no one is talking about Rev. Wright or Michelle’s “proud” moment.

Gay Marriage Victory [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]

Foul on Bush [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
May 12, 2008This is turning out to be a fascinating election - can Republicans beat Obama by painting him as the weak-kneed liberal elitist or will the American public finally say enough is enough and give the new guy a chance? Based on a poll out today, I’d say maybe the cliches will lose for once.
