The Gallup polling organization reports a slight increase in independent voters and a slight decrease in Democratic Party voters. According to Gallup's survey of 5,000 registered voters over the last three months, 37% of all registered voters are independents, 34% of registered voters are Democrats, and 28% of registered voters are Republicans.

Three months ago Gallup reported 35% independent, 35% Democratic, 28% Republican.

You may have noticed that there have been some spectacular changes in the overall presentation of Cullison's Corner...All of this dramatic change in the look of the blog is entirely due to the great efforts of my brother-in-law Joe Ercoli...

The man is a tech genius! Let us pay homage!!

The Gallup tracking poll has Obamanon dipping into mere mortal territory, with 56% approving and 36% disapproving. The Rasmussen tracking poll of likely voters has him slipping even further, with only 52% of likely voters approving.

Seems you can only live on hope and glamour for so long...Fortunately for Obama there's no plausible opposition in the foreseeable future...

Holy cow...I had totally counted Boston out...one and done with The Big Three...well move over Triumphant Trio, it's now The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse...The addition of Wallace just made Boston the odds-on favorite to knock out The Fakers in June...

Between Wallace in Boston and Artest infecting the Lakers' locker room, another titlecould well be headed to the Athens of America in 2010...

In 1966, the House Ways and Means Committee declared that by the year 1990,  Medicare would cost no more than $12 billion.

In fact, Medicare cost just over $107 billion in 1990...NINE TIMES as much as the authors' blithely predicted back in the halcyon days of LBJ's Great Society.
Today, Medicare costs more than twice what it cost in 1990, AND it is still bound for bankruptcy by 2019.
To this manifestly insolvent federal health care system, Obama wishes to add nearly fifty million uninsured, with the costs of such an expansion ranging from a mere trillion dollars to nearly two trillion dollars.
Keeping in mind what we've learned from the history of Medicare cost estimates, I'd take whatever number they're throwing out now and multiplying it by nine...just for starters.
We do not have the money for another federal entitlement program.  We don't have the money for the entitlement programs that we already have.  Let's not add more.
