Hidey Ho, Primates! Welcome to the one and only Real Banana, your source for the real poop on politics.
Let’s do it and get to it..
Well, tea party day has come and gone, and the primates definitely seem pretty riled.

Leadership is the ability to influence people to willingly follow those in charge. A true leader inspires people to do things and to accomplish great deeds. Those who are not leaders just go along to get along. People want to be led. They want someone in charge and they want someone who takes decisions. Well, [...]

Nancy Pelosi has a strange definition of bipartisan. To most thinking people, it relates to TWO parties and when used in this context means they will work together. Nancy Pelosi and her brood of Democrats all claimed that the Republicans ignored them and they claimed that George Bush had not worked with them on anything. [...]

The day before yesterday, I blogged about the fact that the British media is not only noting the John Edwards paternity scandal, but is pointing to double-standards in the American media. (Say it ain’t so, Joe!) Today, Deceiver.com has a splendid rundown of the scandal’s history, from the first moment Rielle Hunter appeared [...]

If the story is true, my deep sympathies to his wife. If it’s false, I wish him the best of luck.

My post title imagines what I bet a lot of the older generation of Jewish Americans will think when they learn about the latest campaign tactics from the party that knows how to do identity politics. Steve Cohen, whose name is a giveaway as to his Jewishness, is running for reelection in Tennessee’s 9th District. [...]

Chris Grayling
British Tory work and pensions spokesman Chris Grayling seems to think that it’s the Prime Minister’s fault that so many young British are bone lazy. The daily Mail reports that a fifth of children in the UK are living on benefits, because their parents aren’t working. In fact, many of them aren’t even looking [...]

On the last day of 2007, I bitched and moaned about identity politics. The science of…or the instinct to…elevate figures to high office, based not on their true qualifications for that office, but based on their perceived resemblance to me, me, me, me, me, me, me and me.

Kerry assured us that, because he spoke French and loved the UN, he would have Europeans eating out of America’s hand if he were to become President. How great must his chagrin be with the fact that it is during Bush’s watch that the Europeans are coming back to us. And it is during Bush’s [...]
