OpinionListNEW

It’s that time of the week again. Time for the OpinionList. A time to look back at some of the week’s stories and I what I thought of them. Keep It Up: This week’s news that President Obama’s approval rating continues at 53% despite the “scandals” being peddled by the GOP was made even sweeter by the [...]

Seeing that Anthony Weiner has announced that he will run for mayor of New York city, I decided to re-publish this post, which I wrote back in 2011 with my then writing partner, at the height of the Weiner scandal. I had a lot of fun coming up with the idea for the post and even [...]

Pleading the 5th

I used to think that anyone pleading the 5th was automatically guilty. Why refuse to answer questions if you have nothing to hide? But my position has evolved, and in a matter of minutes. It happened when I read that Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS tax-exempt organizations division, is going to plead the [...]

Scandal: The Good...

I’ve waited 3 days to write this post to make sure that if you’re reading this, you’ve already watched Scandal’s season 2 finale. But, if you still haven’t, then stop before the first heading. However, whether you’ve watched it or not, know that I thought that what was good was excellent, what was bad was [...]

I’ve been saying tweeting it, that Truth had to be about Emily telling Jack that she’s the real Amanda Clarke. That this was the only way to get the show back on track after a dismal second season. Well, told him she did and, as I also predicted,  she told him at the very end [...]

Taxed Enough Already TEA Party 3D words

As you probably know, the IRS is in hot water with the tea party after it admitted, on Friday, that it had targeted groups with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names, for a more thorough review of their tax-exempt status applications. According to the Huffington Post, “The number of groups seeking 501(c)(4) status has jumped [...]

Dear Apple, I’m neither a developer nor a tech expert (although compared to my husband and friends, I’m a total techie). No, I’m just a huge fan and I became an avid consumer of your products since you always gave me what I wanted, even before I knew what that was. But lately, I’ve had [...]

lapierre-gun

On Saturday, during his speech at the NRA’s annual convention gun lovefest, Wayne LaPierre asked, “How many Bostonians wished they had a gun two weeks ago?” This has shocked many, but not me. After all, this is Wayne LaPierre we’re talking about, and while I’m disgusted by his comment, by linking his gun-rights fight to the [...]

I am writing this post bogged down in hesitation. You see, I’m going to criticize two of the most popular segments of President Obama’s speech at The White House Correspondent Dinner (WHCD). I know that most of you thought that it was awesome (it was), and that this was due to the awesomeness of Comedian-In-Chief [...]

Maureen Dowd is Partly Right

In her latest post No Bully in the Pulpit  New York Time’s Op-Ed columnist  Maureen Dowd blames President Obama for the Senate’s recent failure to pass the expanded background check law. She claims that President Obama does not know how to govern, that he doesn’t know “how to work the system,” and that he has no [...]
