Fact of the Day: Musician Then Congressman

After a whole career in entertainment, Sonny Bono later became a Republican congressman representing California. 

Wayne Newton Loves Michele Bachmann, But Likes Mitt Romney

Mr. Las Vegas has endorsed his choice for President and that's Michele Bachmann. He appeared along side her on Fox News after complimenting Mitt Romney on his debate performance. Why does Newton like Bachmann? Because she's "beautiful" and something about her values. I'm guessing Wayne was just checking her out during the debate and dozed off when she started to speak. 

Herman Cain Turns Jesus Into A Right Wing Conservative Killed By a Liberal Court

If you can control one's religion, you have immense power. And I think that's what Herman Cain is trying to do. He was boasting that Jesus was a proud conservative. He used lines like healing the sick, being unemployed (I thought he was a carpenter?), feeding the poor, and never used a governmental program. Like those even existed over 2000 years ago. Especially not from the Roman Empire to 

Fact of the Day: Pizza, Baseball, and the GOP

Tom Monaghan had the perfect story for a rising CEO. Started out with one crappy pizza joint and within his lifetime, he saw it expand to millions and millions of dollars. He owned both Domino's Pizza, and the Detroit Tigers for some time. However he sold both of them, and later took an interesting choice in life. After selling his prime business deals, he led a life promoting his Catholic faith

Herman Cain Keeps "Economic Advisers" A Secret

After coming up with crazy economic and tax plans, people have been asking Herman Cain where is he coming up with these ideas. Cain has kept his mouth shut except for one man, someone named Richard Lowrie who apparently works for the Wells Fargo bank. I'm going to guess they are also campaign contributors if you know what I mean. ""I'm not going to tell you! They're my advisers, not yours. They

Jon Huntsman Campaign Nearly Broke

Things aren't looking good for the Utah governor who's basically had to lay off a lot of his staff members and focus on the race ahead. Apparently they're almost a million dollars in debt and have burned about 4 million that they did have. And they say the actual government wastes money more than anymore. It's a bit of a shame though, he's really the only legitimate candidate for the GOP field. 

Anita Perry Blames Son's Job Loss on Obama

The first lady of Texas isn't very happy of what's happening to her husband's political success so far.  She's even blamed her son's job loss on Obama's regulations. Which regulations? Who knows but apparently he works for a bank and he had to quit so he could help his father campaign. Poor kid...not. She's also said her husband Rick Perry has sunk in the polls because his conservative opponents

Protect Life Act Passes Through The House

Republicans have passed a controversial anti-abortion bill targeting women and the Afforable Care Act. It basically bans women from buying health insurance that pay for abortions. Oh and if you're pregnant and you're dying? Well a hospital can deny you service. This won't pass the Senate and thank goodness Obama can veto it if it does. 

Herman Cain Steals 999 Tax Plan Idea From Sim City?

It's seems like a strange coincidence, but when a guy like Herman Cain quotes a random bit from a Pokemon movie I don't doubt he stole the 999 idea from Sim City. Sim City 4 had a tax plan just like Cain's where there was 9% on income, corporate, and retail or something or another. I've never played it myself. What's next? Turning prisons into Zelda dungeons? 

Gov. Rick Scott Plans To Kill Liberal Arts Funding

Being one of the most hated Governors in the country must be hard for old Rick Scott here. He's now trying to cut funding to all degrees that don't deliver a lot of jobs. Makes a little sense, but he will lose the student vote next go around for this. Sorry Florida!"If I'm going to take money from a citizen to put into education then I'm going to take that money to create jobs," Scott said. "So I

Congressman Joe Walsh Says His Wife Is Lying About Child Support

After being named one of the most corrupt members of Congress didn't settle right with old Joe. In a recent court argument, he's accusing his wife of exploiting his role as a member of Congress. He said they had a verbal agreement to pay for their children's expenses instead of child support payments. A court has pretty much frozen his bank accounts, and is taking a decent chunk out of his

Newt Gingrich Condemns Wall Street Protesters and Wants to Jail 2 Key Democrats

At the recent Republican debate, the former Speaker of the House said the Wall Street protesters have no meaning to protest unlike his favorite tea bagger groups. He said that they should not be mad at the crooked businessmen behind Wall Street, but rather some people in the government. He also said that Rep. Barney Frank, and Former Senator Chris Dodd should be arrested. 

Jon Huntsman Mocks Herman Cain's 9-9-9 Tax Plan

Herman Cain recently came up with a tax plan at the Republican debate called his 9-9-9 plan. A plan that gets rid of all other taxes and replaces it with 9% on personal income, 9% on corporate income, and a 9% sales tax. I guess he gave up on the fair tax idea (seriously every bumper sticker with Herman Cain I see has the fair tax sticker too), and is going for something more catchier, and more

My Thoughts on The Presidency of George H.W. Bush

Bush Sr rode off Reagan's popularity to obtain an easy victory to the role of President. Bush started his presidency as soon as the Cold War was coming to an end. Soviet Union broke up, Germany became one, walls fell, people rejoiced, and all that good stuff. He didn't really do anything with it, but I guess he didn't make matter worse. Probably the biggest key issue within his presidency was the

Gov. Scott Walker Says State is Broke, But We Can Afford Lots of iPads!

After plenty of protests, Scott Walker is not exactly the most popular governor in America, and for good reason. He recently said that the state of Wisconsin is flat broke. So that would explain why a new agency he created spent $60,000 on new iPads and 3G service? Could they have gotten some WiFi? Republicans might say Democrats "tax and spend", but the GOP just spends. 

Hank Williams Jr. Quits Monday Night Football After Being Fired

The country music singer is known for 3 things: his music, monday night football, and being an idiot. As an active supporter for the Republican party, he recently went on Fox News and compared Obama to Hitler. ESPN took notice and quickly fired him. Hank Williams Jr stated on his website something different. “After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision. By pulling my opening Oct

Herman Cain Blames Wall Street Protesters "For Being Poor"

With the Occupy Wall Street protests getting larger and larger; people who love CEOs, big banks, crooks, and liars have gone on the defense. Being a corrupt CEO and terrible general human being Herman Cain has said this."Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself!" Cain said. "It is not a person's fault because they succeeded,

Sarah Palin Not Running For President

The former Vice Presidential Candidate is not going after the top spot after all. She recently sent a letter to her "fans" about her commitment not to run. "I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office -- from the nation's governors to congressional seats and the presidency,""We must reduce tax burdens and onerous

Gov. Chris Christie NOT Running For President

Despite pressure from people in his home state of New Jersey and elsewhere, Christie is not running for President, and he means it. So that means the GOP presidential race is still full of nut-jobs and Jon Huntsman. 

My Thoughts On The Presidency of Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in a landslide election to become the first ultra-conservative (at least in both departments) in quite some time. The interesting thing about Reagan was that he was really the first President to get shot right at the start of his term. He forgot to duck (his own joke after the incident), but managed to survive and his popularity soared. Reagan's big thing was
