I know, I know, cap and tax is the big story, an issue I usually cover quite a bit, but, everyone has it covered, and something about some child abuser dying, which is on every news channel 90% of the time, but, Sarah Palin shows that she is not your ordinary politician, and that she […]

You might, or might not, notice that all Amazon ads are gone. Why? Because North Carolina was going to tax the heck out of them, so, Amazon called their bluff. I knew it was coming, but, the email I recieved this morning is below the more tag We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program […]

Transparency! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D- Nev.) will not commit to giving senators and the public a full week to read and review the final version of a health-care reform bill before he holds a final vote on it. Reid confessed at his Thursday news briefing that he did not have “a lot of time†to read the 1,071-page stimulus bill […]

Time and time again, I and others have pointed out that the whole anthropogenic global warming silliness is not about “saving the planet from mankind,” but about control.

54% of Americans favor smaller government/less services, up 4 percentage points in one year (full poll here). Certainly, the number has been higher, but, will the trend continue as Independents, moderates, and wishy washy fell for hopeNchange Republicans wake up to the Nanny State progressive agenda of the Democrats? Also in the poll, Republicans need […]

OK, I’ll admit, I did not watch, ore really even read, anything during the day Wednesday as ABC News and The White House became one and the same. But, see there were two little problems for Obama and his “I’m not going to do away with private insurance *wink wink*” agenda: Mark Sanford, and ABC […]

During breaks, and times the training moderator wasn’t watching, I watched with fascination loathing on Twitter the saga of Mark Sanford. Yes, I’m sure everyone knows all about this by now, but, bear with me Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, said he had conducted an extra-marital affair with a woman in Argentina, ending […]

I wonder if the letter included Obama’s typical apologies? Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a […]

But, don’t say that the Obama administration is not telling Government Motors what to do. Not because that is incorrect, but, just because they don’t want you to say it General Motors Corp will do the “heavy lifting” to help meet the ambitious goal set by President Barack Obama of having one million plug-in hybrid […]
