So what's worse??? Paying for bureaucrats to be employed or having them on the dole?
Okay, so driving home yesterday I was listening to 890 AM (WLS). Unfortunately Roe Conn was on–I swear I just leave it on the station by habit because I think I’m getting a more balanced view from NPR–at least NPR is bias you can be sure of. In any case, he’s bringing up the liberal… Continue reading

Callin' it as he sees it….. Chris Christie takin' no BS
Every video I see of this man just warms the cockle’s of my heart. At what looks like a public Q/A Christie is confronted by a teacher spouting the party line. Not only did he disabuse her of her mythology, he went on to show his righteous anger about the head of a New Jersey… Continue reading

9/11 Remembered
For my generation, those moments when those planes full of passengers were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and those heroes who took control over their lives for just long enough to save who knows how many others are our defining moments. Just as our parents and grandparents remember where they… Continue reading

He may not be a muslim but he sure is an elitist pig…..
Mr. B pointed out the Brian Williams interview with Obama the other night, knowing that some of the issues raised are some that I’ve ranted about before.

Some clarification might be necessary….. Obama's religious proclivities
There has been a lot of brouhaha in the press about an increasing number of the American public answering a Pew Survey feel that Obama is actually a muslim. I don’t really think that the American public feels that because he’s said that he’s a Christian and we generally take people’s word for something like… Continue reading

Hubris, thy name is Education
We’ve seen it on a much smaller scale in our area–the head of athletics at a nearby school ‘exploring’ the idea of putting a $100,000 sound system in the empty soccer field across the street (but we can get a very good academic discount, the whining goes….) until they got busted by Mr. B who… Continue reading

Power grab–Federal style
Well it seems that no crisis will be wasted when it comes to power grabbing by the federal government. On the heels of the recall of eggs, the FDA says that they need to have more power in order to ‘to put in place these preventive controls and hold companies accountable.’ Right now the FDA… Continue reading

Excerpt from The Tracey Ullman Show
IMO this is one of the funniest skits EVAH! In it, Tracey’s rival in a dance contest has stolen her knickers and her partner doesn’t know. The look on the partner’s face at ‘the reveal’ is priceless….. Continue reading

Spinning the news on the Ground Zero mosque–AP guidelines
Okay, we know that the folks on the Journolist were creating common memes and spinning stories regarding Obama. So now the AP is doing the same thing regarding the Ground Zero mosque (which they don’t want to call the Ground Zero mosque. They are, of course, reinforcing Obama’s backpedal position on the Ground Zero mosque… Continue reading
