The Great Anti-Incumbent Movement has begun. Rand Paul and Joe Sestak are the face of the Movement so far, but you can bet that there will be more to come in November’s mid-term elections. Paul and Sestak’s qualifications aside, the masses have spoken and they have decided in favor of the outsiders.
Depending on who you ask, either the Establishment has been put on notice or this is about nothing larger than the particular candidates in the particular elections that were held this week. I think it is something less than the former but far more than the latter.
So if

Elena Kagan
by Ronald A. Rowe May 18th, 2010 | Political Opinions
The Wise and Exalted Leader of the Great Socialist States of America has nominated Elena Kagan to be the next Justice of the Supreme Court. Her qualifications consist of... um, wait, I know this one.
She's never been a judge. Never. As in, not ever. As in, SHE ISN'T A JUDGE! She's been a lawyer. She's been the Dean of Harvard Law School. She's currently the Solicitor General, which is like the White House's chief lawyer. So she's been a lawyer and an academic.
If the Great and Benevolent One were nominating someone to our nation's highest level of legal school administrators, she'd be a fine pick. Maybe he was confused (I

Where’s the Oil Spill Outcry?
by Ronald A. Rowe May 11th, 2010 | Political Opinions
Have you noticed that something is missing from the media circus surrounding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? An oil rig exploded into flames and flopped into the sea like Guam with too many US Soldiers on shore, the latter part in front of dozens of network TV cameras. What did we get?
24 hour news coverage? Check.
Environmentalist hand wringing? Check.
Big business bashing? Check.
Government posturing? Check.
Outrage about the government's slow response? Ummm, still waiting.
The federal government, under the watchful eyes of Supreme Ruler for Life Obama, reacted to the the tragedy by effectively saying "Don't worry, BP

Charlie Crist
by Ronald A. Rowe May 4th, 2010 | General Politics
Funny how things can turn out. A few weeks back I commented on the Florida Senate race, as Governor Charlie Crist battled former House Speaker Mario Rubio for the Republican nomination to replace Mel Martinez in the Senate. At the time, I saw it as a battle for the heart of the Republican Party as the centrist Crist tried to hold his ground against conservative Rubio.
Turned out that it wasn't much of a battle. Republicans in Florida have spoken loudly and decisively. They do not want a moderate. They do not want to stake
