Rush Limbaugh: A Man With No Character Worth A Flip..

Bill Simon, Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Just to let you know, Rush Limbaugh was the very reason I became a Republican in the early 1990s. I had voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984, and, I think I recall voting for Bush, Sr. in 1988. But, despite my votes, I felt like a liberal. And then, someone introduced me to […]

Mr. President, You’re Doing A Heckuva Job!

Bill Simon, Thursday, November 9th, 2006

For the 2nd time this week, I was actually stunned to hear some political news. The first time, it was on Monday when I heard that Shirley Franklin/John Lewis race-baiting bullshit of a radio commercial. This 2nd time was to hear Bush deciding that Rumsfeld had to go. Whaaaaaa??? Folks, just in case you are […]

A Message From “The Brothers & Sistas Grimm” (a Factual Tale)

Bill Simon, Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

I was a happy camper this morning. I just got 2 orders from a great new client and was whistling my lunch away (when I seal business, I get excited and my hunger goes away…if that would happen a lot more often, I’d lose 40 pounds in no time…but, I digress). THEN, I checked my […]

Legislative Open Thread

Bill Simon, Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

What are your thoughts on this year’s session that is just wrapping up? Observations of the Good, The Bad, The Ugly, and The Stupid are all welcome…

A Message To Ric Mayfield from Tucker Cagle: “Who’s Your Daddy Now?”

Bill Simon, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Okay…now the tit-for-tat letter battle this week between the Casey Cagle and Ralph Reed campaigns has gotten EXTREMELY interesting. To recap, first there was a letter authored by Casey Cagle printed last week in the Savannah Morning News. Then the Reed campaign fired-back with a letter of their own last Monday.

Governor Perdue To GOP Grassroots: “Green Is The Only Color We Care About”

politicalvine, Monday, February 27th, 2006

Rumors have it that in an act of what can best be described as supreme arrogance, the Georgia State Republican Party proudly invites anyone who wishes to attend their annual “President’s Day” dinner on March 9 to attend…as long as they can pony-up a $1000 minimum-priced ticket.

New York Post: Al Quaeda Told UAE in 2002 “We have infiltrated your government”

Bill Simon, Saturday, February 25th, 2006

The document from 2002 was a letter to the UAE and contained the following:

“You are well aware that we have infiltrated your security, censorship and monetary agencies, along with other agencies that should not be mentioned,” the message said.

“Therefore, we warn of the continuation of practicing . . . policies which do not serve your interest and will only cost you many problems that will place you in an embarrassing state before your citizens.

Follow The UAE Ports Money Right To FOB (Friends/Family of Bush)…

Bill Simon, Friday, February 24th, 2006

I said it in an earlier post that there was something mighty fishy about Bush’s stance on threatening the veto on a possible bill that might block the takeover of American ports by the UAE. There was way too much passion in his reaction.

That, combined with the fact that he didn’t even know about the impending deal until it hit the newspapers, tells me, again, that something’s up.

And, you know what? Turns out I was right to be suspicious. Why? Because there is a money trail relationship between the Bush family and the United Arab Emirates.

Fool Me Once, Shame on You…Fool Me Twice, Call Me A Racist?

Bill Simon, Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Because, with $6.8 Billion on the line if the sale of the port managment company goes through and is taken over by the United Arab Emirates, something smells mighty fishy coming out of the Bush White House right now with their reaction and amazement that any member of Congress would DARE question the President’s decision. Mighty fishy.

Special Memo to the Senate Panel Looking at Abramoff, Reed, and Norquist

Bill Simon, Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

I previously reported about the article in the Kansas City Star regarding a likely new investigation into Jack Abramoff using non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations to launder money from Indian casinos to people like [tag]Ralph Reed[tag]. In that Star article (see post below), Ralph is quoted as denying he ever knew the true source of the funds […]

Ralph Reed: “One person who has shamed the evangelical community.”

Bill Simon, Friday, February 17th, 2006

Marvin Olasky of the WORLD Christian Magazine takes Ralph Reed and Ralph’s primary evangelical in-kind, Dr. James Dobson, to task in his latest posting on the Abramoff-Reed affair.

It’s Official: Ralph Reed Gets Served With A Subpoena By The Feds

politicalvine, Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Rumors have it that Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist have been subpoened in connection with an ever-expanding federal probe into the illegal money laundering and influence-peddling fallout of Jack Abramoff.
