Another three Republican presidential primary contests took place last night, and boy howdy! That Wisconsin one sure was a nailbiter, kinda sorta! Wowee, nothing like a close horse race, and … no, no, no. I can’t do it. No rational person could possibly be interested in the Republican nominating process anymore. Mexican-American presidential candidate Mitt [...]
Long-time readers of my work will know that I have whipped Dick Cheney like a mule for years. The old man has always seemed like some nightmare combination of Cardinal Richelieu, Heinrich Himmler, and Dr. Strangelove. He represented the personification of that distinct madness that gripped America in the years between 9/11 and the start [...]
Note from the Editor: In the tradition of “Congressman’s Corner,” Salty Eggs has invited Rep. Allen West to field questions from his South Florida constituents. Until we get a response to our query, we will do our best to answer questions on his behalf, based on what we know of his temperament and politics. Dear [...]
The long march continued with Illinois last night. I would offer the cliché that there is no end in sight, but there is – it’s just that it’s several months away, which seems like forever in politics. But after June 5, Mexican American presidential candidate Mitt “Etch a Sketch” Romney will surely be the Republican [...]
Every now and then, there comes a moment in the national dialogue when Americans tilt their gaze toward Florida and say, “Dude, what is wrong with you?” Florida held the free world hostage in 2000 while it inspected hanging chads. This is the state where Casey Anthony became a parent, where Terry Jones became a [...]
Rick Santorum pulled in his largest single-state gain of delegates Saturday with his win in Kansas, and who gives a damn? This thing’s all over but the crying. Mexican American presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee for president, regardless of what may or may not be the matter with Kansas. Tomorrow’s contests [...]
Shortly before his death by “natural” causes, Andrew Breitbart appeared at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, and said this of President Barack Obama: I’ve got videos, by the way. This election we are going to vet him. I have videos. I’ve got videos. This election, we are going to vet him — from his [...]
For those who follow Florida politics, it’s hard to know what to be more frustrated by: the depravity of the Florida Republican leaders, or the breathtaking incompetence of the Florida Democratic leaders. If just one of these two major parties could clean up its act, this would be a political paradise, at least relative to [...]
These are heavy times for foreign policy. The Middle East has even — finally — become a major point in the Republican primaries instead of just the usual one-off about bombing the living hell out of those damned dirty Persians! But given that Rush Limbaugh and his penchant for misogyny have taken up just as [...]
You already know this: while earning your college degree was informative and pleasant enough, plenty of us head in a different direction. Or maybe the experience wasn’t so awesome or helpful, but we’re sticking, steadfast and stubborn, to what we set out for in the first place. Joshua Miller, the executive director and founder of [...]
Venezuela has been in the media lately: following the death of Hugo Chávez, his chosen successor, Nicolas Maduro, beat challenger Henrique Capriles in the current election for presidency. It was a miniscule margin of a win—about 50.7%–and as of this write-up, a contested verdict. But if you’re the average United Statesian, you are less aware [...]
