So, the HuffPo and the MSM, in yet another attempt to make the Tea Partiers look funny and weird, in that “crazy aunt” kind of way, post an article about those crazy kids and how they are making a fuss because their city is taking over trash collection.  And friends of mine on Facebook took… Continue reading

She had a bit of a cow over the picture of my backside with a firearm on it saying that people will take it badly since they are scared of guns.  I pointed out two things to her–1.)  unless she points out to people who read this blog that I’m her daughter, they won’t know… Continue reading

Looks like Harry Reid’s campaign might have been indulging in some illegal back-room shenanigans with Harrahs’ casinos in order to get that unexpected jump that put him over the top for the win.  At his campaign’s urging, Harrah’s put the lean on their employees to get out there and vote… Democrat, especially Reid, only.  Not… Continue reading

In an interview on 60 Minutes, Obama (again) blames the drubbing that the Democratic party took last week, on the fact that he was so busy ramming stuff down the throats of the American people using shady and illegal means that he forgot that he needed to use small words and make ‘an argument that… Continue reading

After hearing the $200 million figure bandied about by reasonable sources as the cost per day for Obama’s junket to India and a discussion with Himself (who is my reality check), I decided to do a little math and see what would happen if I translated dollars to Indian rupees.  Turns out that an Indian… Continue reading

As I commented to Himself this morning, I don’t think that I’ve ever stayed up watching midterm election results before.  I was also as knowledgeable, in some cases, about the races in other states as I was about ours.  With the federal government’s attempted and mostly-successful attempts to take over individual and state rights, I… Continue reading

As I’m reading through all of the blogs, news, etc. as well as listening to the sheeple with whom I work, a couple of thoughts come to mind.  Voting is a right and a responsibility, not something that comes in a TV dinner to your couch.  If you can’t get off your lard and get… Continue reading

70% of what you need to know really boils down to knowing who to ask.  YMMV. Continue reading
