…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium… There are many people who claim that the President made an almost unforgivable gaffe when he erroneously referred to Hitler’s concentration camps as ‘Polish Death Camps.”  Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk claims that President Obama’s remarks “offended all Poles.”  He went on to say that, “”when someone says ‘Polish [...]

…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium… At first, I did not believe what I was hearing on the news.  Then, after a momentary pause of reflection I began to laugh.  Of course it’s true; it makes absolute sense for an ego-driven businessman like Donald Trump to want to have his own Super Pac. Donald says [...]

…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium… So Mitt is off making false promises again.  Now he claims that his economic policies will reduce the nation’s unemployment rate down to 6% after his first term in office.  Yeah, sure, and the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series in the near future. I’m tired of listening [...]

…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium… President Obama came out this week in support of same sex marriage and equal rights for the Gay Community.  Immediately, pundit after pundit ran to their radio mikes or their television studios to comment on how his comments would either hurt him or help him politically.

At a campaign stop today, a woman in the audience said the following, [...]

…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium… The parade of innocent people being killed by their own family members continues.  Today I read that Jason “J.T.” Ready, a white supremacist and founder of the militia group US Border Guard, killed three adults and a child before turning a gun on himself. No one deserves to die [...]

…the Bleacherman has entered the stadium… I was saddened to read the Mitt Romney has accepted the resignation of his recently appointed foreign policy advisor, Richard Grenell.  I am not so much saddened because I believe that Mr. Grenell was the best possible man for the position as much as I was dismayed and disappointed [...]
