From Balko at Reason (ht AdviceGoddess), in Kansas, a gubernatorial candidate wants to have an “Office of the Repealer” who goes through agencies, regulations and rules.  This is met with quiet condescension from the New York Times who can’t imagine why those quaint fly-over people would want to get stuff off of the books and… Continue reading

New Jersey school districts are finding ways to keep jobs even with receiving less state aid (ht, JammieWearingFool).  Contrast THAT with the teachers union in Chicago and a district that is having  to BORROW (against what equity, one might ask) $800 million because they’ve bowed down to the wishes of the union too often.  With… Continue reading

The original, for your viewing pleasure: For kicks and grins, overdub Bobbi’s words into the scene in your head while watching. Continue reading

According to an article from Breitbart, BP officials have FINALLY been invited to meet with Obama.  I’m hoping for a televised smack-down since the Anointed One has been talking like he’s a WWE wrestler but yet hadn’t had the balls or the brains (I’m betting on the former) to actually meet with the folks that… Continue reading

Per Fox news (ht Drudge), a story about the Mexican consulate in Phoenix, Arizona is having a lot of work to do lately what with all of the illegals trying to get back into Mexico (oh the irony) LEGALLY so they won’t have to pay taxes on their belongings when they schlep them back over… Continue reading
