Nancy Pelosi’s transparent government

Posted by Moonage on 30 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics

The Democrat "revolution" of 2006 was based largely in part due to the constant message from Nancy Pelosi that she would give us a much more open and honest government.  This apparently didn’t apply AFTER the elections.  Her first emergency war appropriations bill has more pork spending in it than any emergency appropriation the Republicans [...]

Nancy Pelosi ( yeah, I know, AGAIN! ), lambasted the Republicans for being nothing but crooks.  Her silence on the Democrat Culture of Corruption has been deafening.  This weeks’s scandal?  Dianne Feinstein.
Dianne Feinstein had been on the Military Construction Appropriations committee for six years.  During four of those years, Perini Corporation and URS Corp were [...]

Ayn Rand School for Tots

Posted by Moonage on 29 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, Political Correctness

The guys over at Volokh have had repeated guffaws over the Lego incident in Seattle.  During their most recent guffaw, they referred to it as a bizarro Ayn Rand School for Tots.  Now, that was a parody of an incredibly complex mind dealing with small children on a cartoon.  The problem here is this is [...]

Abortion Ultrasound laws = emotional blackmail

Posted by Moonage on 23 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Political Correctness

….a measure requiring women seeking abortions to first review ultrasound images of their fetuses advanced Wednesday in the South Carolina Legislature.

This is purely emotional blackmail.  It serves no legal or medical purpose whatsoever.  This is the most horrendous piece of legislation I’ve ever heard of.  I also think this will result in two very obvious [...]

Danged if ya do, danged if ya don’t ( I’ll never be a flu shot salesman! )

Posted by Moonage on 21 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Fed Policy, The Media

In 2003, the US destroyed many leftover flu shots.  In 2004 thru 2006, near hysteria was experienced due to a shortage of flu shots.  This year, the Feds may destroy 10,000,000 excess flu shots at the end of the flu season.  The logic to doing that is fairly simple, they want to be sure they [...]

Nancy Pelosi saving the Republicans

Posted by Moonage on 20 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Polls

A funny thing happened on the way to the polls for Nancy Pelosi.  When she ran the races, set the agenda, and got the Democrats the majority in Congress, it was on a wave of negative publicity against President Bush.  After she took over, with her kinder, gentler, less corrupt rule, we get this:

Major drug bust in Panama ( A bad thing? )

Posted by Moonage on 20 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: War On Drugs

Panamanian police working with US authorities have made what is believed to be one of the biggest maritime drugs busts ever, Panamanian officials say.
Police and agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized a boat off Panama€™s Pacific coast with 19.4 metric tons of cocaine on board.

To which, Dr. Steven Taylor over at [...]

Clinton 1984 mashup?

Posted by Moonage on 19 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Here’s the "scandal":

So far, the Obama camp disclaims any knowledge of where this came from.  Now, given that all you’ve got to go on is whoever uploaded it, and that it boasts Obama’s web page.  I’m willing to take this for what it is.  Ambiguous at best.  Deceptive on someone’s part for sure.
However, it is [...]

Exiting Iraq via Iran

Posted by Moonage on 19 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: International Politics

That’s a pun on The Onion.
I think they know how many people like that idea.
I’m sure Abuminajad ( however you spell that ), probably has that on his mind as well.
That’s why he’s keeping us in Iraq.
Gotta watch that Onion.  Those guys are crazy smart.
