President Barack Obama seems intent on following the Biden Rule when nominating individuals to cabinet posts for his second term. The Biden Rule, of course, states that anyone sharper than “Good “Ol Joe†should not be given consideration. This naturally …

With the Senate poised to pass the $50 million Hurricane Sandy Relief bill, it’s good to know Congress, whose approval rating remains slightly below Lance Armstrong and the Mafia and well below enemas, has not missed a beat. They have loaded the Sandy bill with enough pork to supply the entire European Union with bacon for a year, but only if Germany picks up the tab.

President Obama quipped last week that he has his own naughty or nice list for Congress as part of the “fiscal cliff†negotiations. It sounds a bit like Nixon’s enemies list and let’s not forget that Obama did talk about revenge in the latter stages of the 2012 campaign. With that in mind, let’s take a stab at who might be on Obama’s naughty or nice lists.

During the recent presidential campaign, Barack Obama made much ado of fairness. The wealthy must pay their fair share, although “fair share†is never defined. Fairness, along with Diversity, can be considered two of the Holy Grails of liberalism.

As Hurricane Sandy approached the east coast of the United States, many meteorologists attempted to predict when and where it would make landfall. Although some predictions differed, one thing was standard - all of them over-sampled Democrats by about four percent.

Some media outlets stopped using the term Frankenstorm, realizing that the term may be offensive to monsters.

What did we learn from the final presidential debate? We learned that the United States has aircraft carriers and ships that go underwater. Fortunately, Barack Obama had recently learned of those things from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who used LEGO models to make it simpler for President Obama to understand.

Who’s in charge? This is the question many Americans have been asking in the aftermath of the attack on the Libyan consulate that left four Americans dead. That question should not be confused with the Abbott and Costello routine, “Who’s …

The man who always says what he means said this in 2008: “After the stock market crash in 1929, FDR got on television to reassure the American people.†In October 1929, Herbert Hoover was less than a year into his presidency. And had Franklin Roosevelt gotten on television that year, the only person reassured would have been some lonely engineer in New Haven, the one person in the country who may have had a television.
