Is The Tea Party An Inadvertently Moderating Force?

If you heard a loud crash yesterday, that was the collective sound of thousands of tea cups dropping out of shocked Tea Party members hands as they saw their new sweetheart Scott Brown help break a Republican filibuster and allow the jobs bill to a final vote. Brown wasn’t even the only Republican vote [...]

A Question On Health Care?

Just a question to go with the health care reform debate. Many people say that government reform would mean the Federal health care police would make health decisions for you. How is that different from now, where giant insurance companies make health care decisions for you?

TSE Geography Minute

Just a couple of facts and then a random question.  The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has a population of 3.9 million.  The City of Washington D.C. has a population of 591,833.  The State of Wyoming has a population of 532,688.  Only one of these governments has voting power in the United States Congress.  Guess which [...]

Biggus Chat Room: Who Would Plato’s Ideal Running Back Be?

me: read this sentence
Foster is the platonic ideal of a boom-and-bust running back, who breaks one or two highlight runs a game and then spends the rest of the time leaving his unfortunate quarterback in second-and-9 after second-and-9.
“platonic ideal”?
Biggus: It’s a little, um, pretentious for a football column.
me: as Will [...]

The Sunshine Empire Is Saving Itself

I’m not the only one to write this point, but does anyone find it amusing that the most conservative and abstinence only intensive parts of the country, have the highest teen pregnancy rates?

The Biggus Chat Room: Change, Bailouts, And 2012

Biggus: I just read your Obama post. I think you’re essentially telling people that the status quo is going to be change, just not ideal.
me: kinda
but not really
it’s kind of a twist on only Nixon can go to China
neophytes don’t change the system
people who know the system change the system
Biggus: I know you [...]

Fairness Doctrine A Threat, To The Liberal Media?

Just a question I’m having a hard time with. Conservatives say that the media is completely liberal. Conservatives also say that Congressional Democrats and President-elect Obama plan to re-institute the Fairness Doctrine to stamp out conservative thought. If the media is overwhelmingly liberal as they say, wouldn’t that mean more time for [...]

Sunshine On The Senate: Minnesota

We here at The Sunshine Empire have been supporters of Al Franken for some time and have even donated money to his Senate Campaign in Minnesota. We believe that Franken will be a tenacious warrior on the part of the lower and middle class in much the same mode as the late Senator Paul [...]

On The Arrogance Of Obama

I would like to address a question to the readers as an honest question.  Some have accused Senator Barack Obama of being elitist, and some have accused him of being arrogant.  What exactly has he done in your mind that is so “arrogant.”  John McCain and his wife are worth almost ten times as much [...]
