One of my hobbies, when I am not throwing verbal bombs at politicians, is music. (And I sometimes combine the two!) I love writing music as much as I love writing about politics. Maybe more. And I have promised myself to spend more time writing and playing music. Most of the music I share on [...]

Ok. I admit I had a lot of fun with this one. Remember when Tim Kaine was known in these parts as the Absentee Governor? Obama made him the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and he abandoned Virginia to stump for his Puppet Master Barack Obama. Virginia went from a $1.5 Billion surplus when [...]

Why Pro Life? Every year, over a million babies are aborted in the United States. These children are not just an unwanted collection of cells growing in the mother. They are the collective culmination of generations going back countless centuries. Each child has the genetic makeup of the parents, as well as uncles, aunts, grandparents, [...]

I am surprised that my fellow blogger Sandy here at Va Right! has not already posted this. There is little about Congressman Ron Paul that escapes his notice. Perhaps Metallica will do a version. Not that the song is bad, it’s actually quite good. But Kirk Hammett would be a brilliant addition with a bit [...]

Almost a year ago I did a Parody Video “Obama’s Mama” where I performed all the music and vocals and used the Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show tune “Sylvia’s Mother”. As proof the lunacy cannot be stopped, I have done it again. Meet “Just Like a Real War” inspired by the Bob Dylan Classic [...]

The shame and horror! Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell told Bill Maher in a 1999 appearance on Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” show that she “Dabbled in witchcraft, but never joined a coven” in High School. What’s next? Did she ever backtalk her parents? Fail to do her homework in 3rd grade? And just how is a [...]

You’re A Rich Girl Now, Michelle! What a vacation. $75,000 a day on Taxpayer’s expense. Oh, she’s pad for her room. Oh, her Gynecologist lost her Dad. Sorry about that. But why does that give Michelle Obama the right, in the worst recession in American history, to soak the taxpayers? It’s that elitist mentality. She’s [...]

Where were you in 1973 when Three Dog Night launched a Number 3 Hit with Shambala? I was attending Virginia Commonwealth University, letting my hair grow and following the road to fame and fortune with an old electric guitar and an old 2 piece Silvertone amp. Sometime that year I gave away the guitar and [...]

I remember listening to Jimmy Dean sing about the larger than life Big John as a kid, and I remember watching his TV variety show. So the first time I met Mr. Dean in the mid 90′s was a very memorable event (for me). I was on a US Air flight from Charlotte, N.C. to Richmond, Va. on a very cold winter’s evening, and the first flakes of a snow storm, predicted to be a big snow producer, had already started falling in Richmond as we were boarding in Charlotte.

Ok. All those years of piano lessons didn’t go to waste. Well, actually I never took piano lessons, but I play around a bit with writing and playing music. I thought it might be fun to produce a parody and video to go along with it. In my misspent youth, I acquired some eclectic musical [...]

Obama smokes too much, and he needs to moderate his alcohol consumption. Hummm.
This is most likely an indication that the O-man is seriously in over his head.
And this is the man who controls the nukes. Iran might be wise to worry. If our president has an alcohol problem, who knows what he might do.
