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 [...]

National Take-A-Psychopathic-Killer-to-the-Fair Day?

September 21st, 2009 | No Comments

I really can’t get over this story: A legally insane killer who escaped in Washington state during a field trip to a fair was recaptured Sunday, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department said. This is FUBAR on many levels.  First of all, a little history on Phillip Paul: Paul was committed to Eastern State Hospital after [...]

I want that job – Chesapeake Bay Oyster Recovery person

August 5th, 2009 | No Comments

Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) , Benjamin Cardin (D-Md.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Jim Webb (D-Va.), all joined forces to secure $2,000,000 for the oyster recovery program in the Chesapeake Boy. I’m assuming the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science has something to do with this.  From their page: When Captain John Smith first arrived in the Chesapeake [...]

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, [...]

Auto emissions waivers

January 26th, 2009 | No Comments

One of Obama’s first actions is to restore the auto emissions waivers for several states that requested them under Bush.  Bush said no, because mainly they were unenforceable.  Those states include: California Connecticut Maine Maryland Massachusetts New Jersey New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Washington Now, the issue I have would be better reflected [...]

Keith Olbermann sees a penis in every monument

August 5th, 2008 | No Comments

Just when I thought it was safe to assume Keith Olbermann was completely nuts, he tops himself.  This is what the pride of the left wing had to say about John McCain’s recent ad featuring two hot young celebs: KEITH OLBERMANN: What about when it backfires? Because it seems like the celebrity ad continues to [...]

It’s raining stupid people in DC – Eleanor Holmes Norton

July 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Fresh on the heals of Keith Ellison defying all logic and facts and coming to the conclusion if people had more money they wouldn’t be broke, Eleanor Holmes Norton has dropped this bit of wisdom on us as well: The District has passed new gun legislation consistent with the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the [...]

Nancy Pelosi condemns Joe Biden

October 26th, 2007 | No Comments

That’s the headline you won’t see.  This is what I’m referring to: Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. [...]

WTO wants to legalize gambling where gambling is illegal

October 30th, 2006 | No Comments

In a ruling that could open the United States to offshore Internet gambling, a World Trade Organization panel Wednesday said Washington should drop prohibitions on Americans placing bets in online casinos. In its final 287-page report, the WTO panel confirmed the preliminary ruling it issued in March in a dispute pitting the United States against [...]

Google officially gets political

October 25th, 2006 | No Comments

People have accused Google of allowing their political leanings to affect some of their content searches.  Google of course denied the allegations.  But, it was kind of obvious something was amiss.  The reason I yanked Googe AdSense was because no matter what I wrote about Bush, their "unbiased" searches would ALWAYS come up with something [...]
