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 [...]

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 [...]

One Democrat gets it

This week we had Joe Biden assuring as that allowing a bomber on an airplane and the fact his bomb failed to explode is proof their anti-terrorism plan is working just fine.  Then, we had him assuring a crowd of people their stimulus plan is working: Not sure how well the crowd bought it. He [...]

ESPN promotes green games

December 20th, 2009 | No Comments

Kansas and ESPN teamed up for a “green game”.  During the Kansas-Michigan game, viewers were battered with green stuff.  Some of the eco stuff was OK, but some was the tired, usual, global warming is gonna kill us all if we don’t start trading carbon credits on the Chicago carbon exchange crap. I got a [...]

Politicians, as I have often said, are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. [...]

August 5th, 2009 | 2 Comments

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, [...]

The best thing from Debbie Stabenow so far

April 2nd, 2008 | 1 Comment

I have picked on Debbie Stabenow quite a bit here.  I think she’s an idiot.  So far, just here, I have picked on her for: Running for reform but voting against eliminating earmarks. ( That’s called hypocrisy, or lying ) For sticking pullout requirements into a funding bill, having it vetoed, and not being able [...]
