President Obama goes after greedy university administrators

October 27th, 2011 | No Comments

Yeah!  Tell me another one!  Whew.  OK.  Let’s get serious.  Obama, as usual, is attacking the concept of personal responsibility.  The concept that people willingly and knowingly incurred a debt is meaningless to Obama.  Completely.  Under his watch, the student loan program has been removed from the private sector and made federal  ( that’s called [...]

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the Tea Party

July 21st, 2011 | No Comments

A lot is being made over the recent row between Allen West and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.  As per the norm, the liberals are framing it so the Allen West is just bat turd crazy and went off on poor little Debbie. SAY WHAT? Was Allen West’s Angry E-mail Appropriate? QuestionsView Results What all of them are [...]

Obama administration and regional diversity

Upon retiring the last of the Shuttles, they will be sent to various locations as museum pieces.  They are expected to be big draws.  Last year Obama allocated $14 for one to be located in Dayton, Ohio.  The money and the shuttle were intended to offset the loss of jobs in Ohio caused by mothballing [...]

US-Mexico border is a safe place to be?

June 3rd, 2010 | 2 Comments

That’s the AP headline this morning. AP Impact: US-Mexico border isn’t so dangerous MEXICO CITY — It’s one of the safest parts of America, and it’s getting safer. It’s the U.S.-Mexico border, and even as politicians say more federal troops are needed to fight rising violence, government data obtained by The Associated Press show it [...]

Ben Nelson’s incredible economic news

January 29th, 2010 | No Comments

Yesterday on Fox, Senator Ben Nelson of Florida said there would be some incredible news today.  And, at first glance, so long as it’s a very quick one, he’s right.  However, anyone who thinks will recognize that it’s a shallow victory. The main problem: You’ve got a lag between borrowing and spending.  That’s a given. [...]

Protesting health care reform

August 7th, 2009 | 2 Comments

I’ve been watching some videos of people getting very agitated while attending health care reform forums.  In some cases, legislators have resorted to locking people out entirely, such as this: To ease the tensions surrounding the issue, Obama’s staff have vowed to “punch back twice as hard“.  And of course, some Democrats are accusing Republicans, [...]

Bipartisanship and Medicaid

February 23rd, 2009 | 1 Comment

Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package.  I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way.  As such, I was interested in the numbers.  However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at.  In essence, [...]

Rudy’s Out

January 30th, 2008 | 1 Comment

After putting all his eggs in one basket, Rudy did dismally in Florida.  He’s out. I had hopes for Rudy being  a viable candidate, he just either chose, or was advised some really awful strategy.  By ignoring all the previous primaries, he ignored all the free publicity that comes with it.  Even if he hadn’t [...]

Let them eat cake?

December 18th, 2007 | No Comments

This is pretty amazing to me: A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch, according to a report on WFTV.com. Thinking this story was blown out of proportion or something, I read on: “She did not use it inappropriately. She did not [...]
