If you had $15.6 septillion and 94 cents in your account, would you save the world from the economic crisis or build a Death Star, destroy the world, and move on to invade the galaxy?
And if the construction firm set up shop in Connecticut, Chris Dodd could probably have gotten the funds appropriated!
Yes, that’s a [...]
Much has been made as of late by the right on the fact that Obama seems to have his teleprompter in tow no matter where he goes. Pundits point out that the normally-silky-smooth rhetoric and delivery for which (apparently) Obama won the presidency devolves into a halting, stuttering mish-mash of disjointed phrases and incomplete thoughts [...]
I could do this probably at least once every day, but here is something that happened this afternoon that is an incredible black eye on US foreign policy:
Mrs. Clinton was over in Geneva today meeting with the Soviets…er, I mean Russians. As a symbol of The Admnistration’s desire to begin anew our relationship with them, she [...]
Congress just passed a $700 billion “stimulus” package less than two weeks ago.
Today, the headlines read that the House just passed a $410 billion spending bill and that Obama is preparing a $634 billion health care fund. All of this on top of Obama’s bold statement that he’ll cut the deficit in half by 2013.
How?
Well, [...]
Not my thoughts specifically, although I think they pretty much sum up my “take” on the subject. I’ll add to what Ed has stated (regarding his comment on the “empty threat” of a filibuster) by saying that this definitely opens the door for massive rights-robbing legislation, from the (un)Fairness Doctrine to elimination of the 2nd [...]
What I was trying to tell your mother in 1993:

“One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions”
In other words, if you’re 60 years [...]
“…targeted, timely, and temporary…”
Especially that last word – TEMPORARY. Conceptually, this Democrat has it right. We need to figure out how to put some weight behind his proposal (I admit I have not read it, but if the article is accurate, it’s the preferable solution, compare to Porkulus.)

Of course, if you only listen to Country, you don’t have much of an issue anyway, but here is a slideshow of folks in the entertainment industry who are conservatives or who have at least expressed some support for conservatives.

I was a bit surprised at some of the musicians who made the list.
Two good articles from the beginning of the week that I finally got around to reading. On a similar subject, yesterday I heard the disheartening result from a recent Rasmussen poll. Apparently 44% of those surveyed think that some form of socialism/redistributionism is not necessarily a bad thing. Lord help us when that number reaches [...]
Another e-mail from my conservative friend this morning had some great insight.
Subject – The brass tacks of it
The simple explanation is usually the most effective. When making your choice (like there is one) between Obama and McCain … this speaks VOLUMES
At the DNC … the Obama supporters chanted O-BAM-A
At the RNC … the McCain supporters [...]
