Will Gunwalker Hit Its Mark Soon?

By Georgeann King, on July 23rd, 2011

While everyone worries about the debt ceiling problem, don’t lose sight of the Gunwalker scandal. It appears things are gathering momentum there and Congressman Darrell Issa will recommence his inquiry Tuesday.

The best source of in depth information on it can be found at www.sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com. Yesterday the author offered some tantalizing information. “I had a

Words From the Week

By Georgeann King, on July 18th, 2011

The best phrase of the week has to come from President Obama.

“Don’t call my bluff, Eric,” Obama warned Republican Congressman Eric Cantor in one of the debt ceiling meetings. Now that one’s a head scratcher. What poker player admits he’s bluffing? Why would Obama tell us that? His temper flare indicates he doesn’t have

Boehner Crucified

By Georgeann King, on May 13th, 2011

Speaker of the House John Boehner will give a commencement address tomorrow at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Some at that university and other liberal Catholic teachers are objecting to his presence. They have written an open letter to him, excoriating his economic plans as unworthy of a Catholic legislator.

“Your record in support of

A Taxing Headline

By Georgeann King, on May 9th, 2011

Expect a lot of letters to the editor after the front page headline on the Commercial Appeal this morning.

“Historically speaking, we’re not taxed enough” it reads. Really? Ask people at the grocery store checkout if they agree with this. Newsflash: Highly doubtful.

Ask people buying a new appliance, such as a refrigerator or washing

Grave Issue for Voters

By Georgeann King, on April 5th, 2011

What do Walter Cronkite, movie stars Lena Horne and Natasha Richardson, restaurateur Elaine Kauffman, New Yorker editor William Shawn and author Frank McCourt all have in common – besides being dead? They’re still on the voter rolls, according to the New York Post. Ah, still pressing the D button from beyond the grave!

Rashomon Effect at the Shelby GOP Convention

By Georgeann King, on March 22nd, 2011

Sunday’s Shelby County GOP convention got coverage in one of the top conservative blogs.

Redstate.com has been referenced by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others. Congressmen and senators read it; sometimes to their consternation.

What a surprise to find our lowly county convention the topic of one of its writers! Posted by “earlgrey,” who claims

Collective Nonsense

By Georgeann King, on March 17th, 2011

There is a very sly op ed in the Commercial Appeal today. The headline reads “Collective bargaining an American birthright.” The author, James Frost, teaches American history at Arlington High School. He begins his propaganda by saying “the United States of America would not exist today if it were not for collective bargaining.” Eye catching,

World Opinion of O Low

By Georgeann King, on January 28th, 2011

Internationally renowned investor and author Mark Faber said on Bloomberg TV’s “Street Smart, “Obama had done a horrible job. He’s dishonest. Foreigners laugh at him; he’s like a prostitute.” Evidently attendees at the G-20 summit in Seoul, South Korea, almost openly mocked Obama behind the scenes. Miss that “cowboy” yet?
