Jill Biden to Teach at Northern Virginia Community College Beltway Politics, DC Life, Joe Biden, News |
From ABC7 News in DC: Northern Virginia Community College has attracted what's becoming an increasingly well-known face, Jill Biden, Ed.D., the wife of Vice President Joe Biden. I'm glad to see Dr. Biden take up the opportunity to stay in academia, and I'm even happier to see that she has chosen a community college over some of the higher-profile institutions in the area such as Georgetown, George Washington, George Mason, or even American. With the economy in the tank, many people are finding themselves unemployed or unhappy with their current positions. One would hope that with this being the case, more Americans will ...

NBC bans PETA Super Bowl ad. Is it too sexy? Activism, News, Random, Uncategorized |
It looks like the executives at NBC have deemed that the Super Bowl ad created by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), titled "Veggie Love," was just too risque for its viewers. Here is the video. You be the judge, is it too sexy?: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wDE9XpmDHE[/youtube] I've had a variety of opinions on this one, but after thinking about it for awhile, I'm set with the opinion that this ad is a bit over the top, even with every Super Bowl advertiser competing for the best ads. With that being said, I'm pretty sure that I've seen worse things than this on ...

Republican Minority Leader John Boehner goes High Definition Beltway Politics, Congress, Conservatism, Economy, Government, Ideology, Issues, News, Party Politics, Spending, Taxes |
Here is a great video from House Minority Leader, John Boehner, showing that Republicans in Congress are finally starting to "get it" when it comes to getting their message out to the masses. I would have been pleased with a cell-phone quality video, so shooting this in HD is even more impressive. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OsCM-kq9Co[/youtube]

We are Republican? Beltway Politics, Conservatism, Ideology, Issues, News, Religion, Spending, Taxes, Technology |
Here is a new video from RebuildTheParty.com, titled "WeAreRepublican." I'm not sure why it's one word, but for whatever reason that's how they decided to do it on their YouTube page. While it doesn't earn points in terms of search engine optimization and quality YouTube tagging, I think it's well produced. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk4Ekbpn_Pc[/youtube] My thoughts on some of the profiles: Warie: "I'm proud to be a Republican, because the Republican Party offers the best opportunities to all." While that sounds great, who is "all?" One of the problems that we have within the GOP is our position on immigration. Some factions of the party would ...

There is No Fat Lady in Washington DC Life, Government, Joe Biden |
I noticed one thing about the recent coverage on the new administration. Little to nothing has been said about the Vice-President beyond his daily gaffes. While one is constantly bombarded with biographies and odes to the POTUS, even the shoddiest clip montage of Biden is a rarity. The media decided that the simple man from Scranton is little better than a prop in their slick Ron Howard production; something to be used, filmed and then sold at some studio auction along with Doric columns from the Denver convention. Well, I say to hell with that! They won't get away with ...
