Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk.” I guess he doesn’t... ...realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country.

So what is the matter with Obama? Conservatives have been asking this question for some time. I've written a number of articles trying to solve the mystery.   Even some liberals are starting to wonder. James Carville railed about Obama's blasé attitude after the catastrophic oil spill. The New York Times' Maureen Dowd revamped Obama's "Yes We Can" motto into "Will We Ever?" The liberal women of the TV show "The View" have expressed sympathy for Michelle Obama's living with a man so out of touch. Peggy Noonan, hardly a vehement Obama foe,  recently pronounced him disconnected.  Obama's odd mannerisms intrigue...

Dear Mr. Robinson: I've given the matter quite a bit of thought and have decided it is time to ZOT you. I was tempted when I noticed posters were allowed to insult anyone who disagreed with them; even more tempted when I saw new posters banned for asking questions, or expressing an opinion outside the mainstream - (though I must confess anyone adopting the screen name "Christ was killed by conservatives" was not going to last very long ! I'm sure he was referring to the Sanhedrin, but still...) When I saw your post today about getting "millions of people"...

Maybe he just doesn't know that there are people who disagree with his massive tax and spend agenda. That would explain a lot. Perhaps the network media's near silence on the "tea party" phenomenon has kept President Obama from realizing that hundreds of tax day protests will happen today? "The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties and will hold his own event today," ABC's Dan Harris said on "Good Morning America" on April 15. Harris's story was the first ABC News report specifically about the tea parties since Rick Santelli's of CNBC's famous rant calling...

I call it Barack Obama's "Marie Antoinette moment."Via Gateway Pundit: Ouch!... 60 Minutes Reporter Asks Giggly Obama: "Are You Punch-Drunk?" Steve Kroft from "60 Minutes" tore into a giggly Barack Obama during their interview that will air tonight. The Pro-Obama reporter asks the giggling president, "Are you punch-drunk?" Ouch! punch-drunk- suffering cerebral injury usually from many minute brain hemorrhages that is a result of repeated head blows received in boxing and is typically marked by mental confusion, incoordination, and slurred speech The Politico reported, via Free Republic: President Barack Obama said he believes the global financial system remains at risk...

I operate a few message forums and my good subscribers are asking for "anti-Obama, smileys or emoticons". Please share what you are aware of. Thanks kindly

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., introduced several new bills Tuesday as Congress starts its 2009 work: • Lifting restrictions on long-haul flights at Washington Reagan National Airport and New York LaGuardia Airport. McCain has long sought to lift regulations that restrict West Coast flights out of those two airports. • Expanding federal powers to investigate knock-off Native American crafts and art. That bill, co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., would increase federal penalties for fraudulent sales of the counterfeit items. • Establishing a national board to regulate boxing in the U.S. McCain has sought previously to impose federal oversight...

For most politicians, boxing is a metaphor. But it never has been for John McCain. Hillary Clinton waved Kelly Pavlik’s gloves during a primary stop in Youngstown, Ohio. It was symbol, a photo op, for a candidate who wanted to be seen as a fighter. But gloves are no symbol for McCain. McCain has worn them. The former Naval Academy boxer says he intends to take up an old fight as he resumes the daily rounds of work as Arizona’s senior senator after the Republican nominee lost in a bruising campaign to Democrat Barack Obama for president.

The public is well aware that if you end up on a terrorist watch list, you may be prevented from flying commercially in the U.S. We go to great lengths to safeguard our skies. Unfortunately, we don’t take the same precautions when someone known or suspected to be a terrorist purchases a gun. Currently, there are nine factors that prevent a gun purchase from being approved during a background check. These factors range from a dishonorable discharge in the military to conviction for a felony. Unbelievably, being a known or suspected terrorist is not one of those nine factors. In...

Last week was Public Service Recognition Week, a time to praise and appreciate the work that local, state and federal employees do for their communities and country on a daily basis. These citizens function as the backbone of our system of self-government In particular, I would like to thank the men and women who serve in our Capital region as federal employees. Home to over 350,000 workers, our system of self-government depends on their commitment, hard work and professionalism. From the first days of our developing nation to today, civil service has been the very essence of public service. That...
