Mike Flake @ September 5, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Ophra Winfrey has declared that Alaska governor Sarah Palin will not be invited to appear on Ophra’s television show until after the election.  What seems to be missing here is why Winfrey believes the Vice President of the United States would make time to appear on her show.

Footing The Bill

Mike Flake @ August 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

From today’s David Limbaugh column:

In one sense, it’s incomprehensible that Barack Obama would forgo an
opportunity to reunite his party by picking Hillary Clinton as his running
mate. But in his place, wouldn’t you be willing to sacrifice a little if
it guaranteed you’d never have to view and smell Bill Clinton’s sock feet
propped up on the Oval [...]

Texas, Ohio: Hillary Must Take Matters Into Her Own Hands

Mike Flake @ March 2, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Thinking, like most Americans, that Hillary Clinton was out of fresh ideas on how to derail the candidacy of Barack Obama, I was struck while watching a re-run of Mel Brooks’ masterpiece movie western Blazing Saddles that she had one last chance to reverse her fortunes.  It was the scene where the new sheriff [...]

Please explain to me why that church should retain its tax-exempt status. I must be the last American who still believes in separation of church and state. I do not like it when evangelical and fundamentalist [...]

Bill Ross: KKK for Klinton?

Bill Ross @ January 21, 2008 # No Comment Yet

After watching the Clintons in action against Obama, I think it is time for white supremacists to start KKK for Klinton.
Conservative blacks like Clarence Thomas have been called “Uncle Toms.”
I think blacks who support the Clintons are now “Uncle Bills” and “Aunt Hillarys.”
Eleanor Holmes Norton appeared with Wolf Blitzer today. She has not decided [...]

The Race Card: Is Hillary Bluffing?

Mike Flake @ January 18, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Five days after you read it in The Cheesebox (PAIR OF ACES, January 13), the notion that Hillary Clinton will play the race card against Barack Hussein Obama in the Democrat presidential primary remains a strong bet. In his January 18th article, former Clinton adviser Dick Morris (NEWSMAX, Hillary Slyly Plays the Race Card makes [...]
