My bet is that Republicans will have a brokered convention this summer. There’s no way any of the Republican candidates for president will get to 50-percent of the delegates before the convention. Why? They keep saying dumb things that turn voters away. The perfect example is in Michigan. Both Romney and Santorum were against the … Read More »
Having It Both Ways On The Pipeline
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Yes, you can have it both ways. The Republicans in the House want the Keystone XL oil pipeline to run from Canada to the U.S. oil refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. I said no. Why? Because I can. And because it sets House Speaker John Boehner’s hair on fire every time I go against … Read More »

Jesus For President
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Christians on the right are coming out of the woodwork to denounce me and my religion. I should have seen this coming. If I had, I would have planned a few more photo ops of me and Billy Graham at the White House. It’s as if I’m running against Jesus for President. The real Jesus … Read More »
