Oil Industry and price gouging

Posted by Moonage on 31 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Oil Policy

Forbes just released it’s Top 2000 biggest companies of the world list.  It allows a person to sort it just about any way they want to.  So, I played with it a little.  One thing that got my attention right off the bat was the fact that in this time of skyrocketing fuel costs putting [...]

Nancy Pelosi tries to one-up McKinney

Posted by Moonage on 30 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day

Now, when I posted my little thingy on Cynthia McKinney trying to steal the spotlight on the national security debate, I KNEW Nancy Pelosi would not sit still for one second and allow that to happen. Realizing she was being upstaged in a major way by the upstart McKinney, Nancy intentionally displays her plans [...]

Posted by Moonage on 30 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: National Politics

Rep. Cynthia McKinney and a police officer scuffled Wednesday after the Georgia Democrat entered a House office building unrecognized and refused to stop when asked, according to U.S. Capitol Police.
No charges were filed, police said.

That’s right.  On her way to discuss national security, McKinney chose to ignore secuirity, and when questioned by security, chose to [...]

How to be a true conservative

Posted by Moonage on 28 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Humor

Now, ya gotta understand before going any further here, I am conservative.  But, I am a TRUE Conservative.  You don’t find a whole lot of TRUE conservatives any more.  Today’s political environment only allows for extremes on both sides of the fence.  True conservatives don’t see the need to push a political agenda.  Just being [...]

More Than a Million French Protest Law

Posted by Moonage on 28 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: International Issues

Here’s the headline:
More Than a Million French Protest Law
It discusses this month’s rioting in Paris over new work laws. Now, per the norm, it shows police behaving violently towards an unarmed crowd. That is SO cliche. What they don’t use in the headline is this picture from the same event:

A “protester” kicking [...]

Charlie Sheen revisits the 911 Conspiracy theory

Posted by Moonage on 23 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories

Yet another whacked out Hollywood figure has come to the conclusion that 9/11 was a government plan to coerce gullible US citizens into a war they knew we would otherwise not agree to.
I am so sick of these conspiracy theories, I’m going to just put all the reasons why I think they are whacko right [...]

The Patriot Guard

Originally posted February 22, 2006:
A while back I did a story on a church that was protesting deceased soldiers in the name of hating gays. What actually led me to that story was a local newspaper article of a man who was a member of The Patriot Guard. As despicable as the church [...]

Charlie Daniels vs media bias

Posted by Moonage on 21 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: The Media

There’s something going on that I just don’t get. Well, maybe I do, but I prefer people to think and see if they can figure things out for themselves as opposed to me just pushing my thoughts on them. Namely, every time some US star says something bad about Bush, it’s all over [...]
