A Trimphus For The Conquering Hero
Posted on 22. Jan, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Current Events
Here we are, back at the beginning. Four years ago I wrote an article, Panem Et Circenses On The Potomac, chronicling the epic overindulgence of the raucous coronation of our Lord and Savior King Barack Obama. The 2008 Obama inauguration was such a spectacle of waste and excess that this comparison is not difficult to [...]
The Clinton Catastrophe
Posted on 10. Sep, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Politics
Obama must be getting smarter in his old age. Recently he agreed with a statement floating around on Twitter that Bill Clinton should be his “Secretary of Explaining Things.” Lately everyone seems to be gobbling up Clinton’s particular brand of bullshit, but that is nothing new. Obama could learn a thing or two about how politics is actually played from a man like Bill Clinton. He may be the most gifted politician of his generation… and I do not mean that as a compliment.
The Only Adult In The Running
Posted on 09. Jan, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Yes, I’ll say it: Jon Huntsman is the only Republican (currently vying for his party’s presidential nomination) that could even remotely stand a chance of defeating Barack Obama. There is no doubt in my mind that every other candidate, each of which are wracked with crippling character flaws, will be utterly trounced by Obama’s (There’s [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Sarah Palin
Posted on 25. Dec, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
This week’s Twit must have had a Death Panel visit her popularity rating in Alaska! Get ready for some One Nation bus tour style hi-jinks with everyone’s favorite half-term Governor: Sarah Palin Sarah Palin must be getting desperate. In all the shuffle and general hub-bub of the Republican primary debates, it seems that TV and [...]
"Truth Commission" Fiasco Will Yank Down Both Parties
Posted on 24. Apr, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Politics
What began life as a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence investigation on potential misconduct surrounding the CIA’s interrogation methods threatened to swallow the whole nation this week. President Obama stressed his opposition to holding public hearings on the matter, but was quickly chastised by his own party, including top Democrat Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of [...]
Congress Guts A Real Public Servant
Posted on 19. Mar, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
A parade of shame took place on Wednesday. Congressional leaders spent hours grilling Edward Liddy about 165 million dollars in bonuses at AIG. It was a scalding session as Liddy answered questions phrased with the bare minimum of civility. As the Q and A ended there was little resolution, and most Americans came away from [...]
Panem Et Circenses On The Potomac
Posted on 16. Jan, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Politics
Barack Obama campaigned viciously against the deficit spending of the Bush administration. Now, on the eve of his inauguration, as his transition team is pushing an 850 billion (with some estimates pushing past one trillion) dollar stimulus, news breaks that the Obama inauguration will cost over 150 million dollars (over three times the cost of [...]
Black’s Insight On Bush’s Legacy Made More Poignant In The Internet Age
Posted on 12. Dec, 2008 by Alex Sharp in Analysis, Politics
Living in Chicago, it would have been nearly impossible not to know the name Conrad Black. Even if I managed to miss his involvement with the Chicago Sun-Times, his internationally famous trial brought him into the local media’s attention. I read the news stories, most of them online, following the events of his trial in [...]
Ignorance and Upheaval
Posted on 06. Nov, 2008 by Conrad Black in Politics
I, Joseph Fosco, would like to make some brief statements relating to the 2008 Election. Following my remarks I will be posting my friend Conrad Black’s article recently published by the National Post of Canada. I have always been a firm believer that in order to be a good American, one must respect the person [...]
