The Obama Campaign must HATE McCain’s choice of Palin so I expect the attacks to be relentless for fear of people actually having time to investigate their claims against her.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign on Friday blasted his Republican rival’s choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a running-mate, highlighting her “zero” […]

About that record artic ice melt.. yeah well, it seems to be refusing to melt as ordered. This is, of course, why the global warming moonbats were so adamant about protecting polar bears NOW NOW NOW. Before everyone realizes we’ve been had and that polar bears are NOT drowning in record numbers due to man […]

I keep contemplating pulling 3rd party if McCain chooses a centrist or liberal for his VP choice. After all, we MAY have to have this person as Prez anywhere from immediately after winning thru 16 year down the road if they’re elected Prez after McCain’s 8 years.
So while I’m not crazy about the […]

I find this quote from James Madison quite relevant considering the political machinations currently underway for what many fallaciously call “Decision 2008″
“We have heard of the impious doctrine in the old world, that the people were made for kings, not kings for the people. Is the same doctrine to be revived in the new, in […]

This pretty much speaks for itself….

Recession? Its on hold thanks to exports which are a bargain at the current exchange rates. We want more US manufacturing so if we can hang on long enough for the dollar to stabilize (or better, gain a bit) this is a golden opportunity.
But it has a cost which is born largely […]

It is sad, though not necessarily unexpected, to read that one of the great Conservative icons of my time suffers from dementia.
Unfortunately, if Reagan was any indicator, Maggy’s detractors will start piling on now - accusing her of suffering from this sad condition while she held the office of PM. Or worse…
The last […]

To steal a line, Obama’s HOPE is that the press doesn’t out that his CHANGE is to hard line socialism and the confirmation came with the naming of Biden as his running mate. If ever there was a member of the party that represents the left edge of the party Biden is it. Even […]

And while we’re on the subject… so you believe Bush hate the environment, hates renewable energy - Gore is the Eco-Messiah and that we “must act NOW!”.. If this is in your head you’ve been duped, probably willfully. But if you’re ready to open your mind a bit check out the tale of two […]

This year may be the coolest in 5 years and they’re still trying to explain how though the earth is moving into a cooling trend global warming is still real it may be on hold for a decade. But as evidence mounts at least some people are starting to wake up to the simple […]

“The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.”
Thomas Jefferson

After recent sensationalized reports that something like half of US corporations pay no taxes RealClearMarkets sets the record straight.

If you’re following the drill here, drill now debate you’re likely heard of those 68 million acres of leases “Big Oil” has that are “non-producing” and how those evil Republicans blocked a Democrat bill that would have forced the oil companies to produce or give up the leases.
These acres are being used specifically […]

An interesting blog entry on O’Reilly, Why Corporates Hate Perl touches on the knowledge barrier between technology and non-technology in corporations and how a lack of understanding technology at the business level can contribute to the silo mentality so prevalent today.
The biggest point to take from the article is that programming languages are only as […]

I don’t “hate” Flash but I frown on it for casual use such as site navigation, headers and especially advertising. And here comes another malicious use of Flash through advertising which steals what ever you copy to your clipboard.
Advertising presents a larger problem to police mainly because the content is sometimes a couple […]

“Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust must be men of unexceptionable characters.”
Samuel Adams

Considering Democrats almost total animosity toward God, the Christian faith and especially the name Jesus Christ….
Obama was introduced at the dinner by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him ‘‘a leader God has blessed us with at this time.’’
.. whom is she referring to as the ‘god’ that sent them Obama?
They believe the complete […]

The last 100 people I’d expect to encourage lawmakers to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18 would the the top 100 college presidents. Considering drinking causes more visible problems on campuses than almost anywhere the request seems illogical.
First let me say I’m not necessarily in agreement on lowering it. BUT… I understand their […]

I’m not going out for the dire predictions of the global warming crowd any more or less than the global cooling crowd (though NASA and NOLA acknowledge we’re in a cooling trend since 1998) but articles such as this one out of Mexico on the coming mini ice age certainly shows there is a lack […]

Given their unprecedented low approval ratings, ratings that should make Nancy Pelosi envious of George Bush’s approval rating… you’d think the Congress would knuckle down and get to work. But are they? No, they’re earning their low approval rating as well as the contempt of the American people as they pass meaningless resolutions and ignore […]

I have bought a lot of motorcycle parts from a lot of manufacturers and there are those that stand out and those who do not. One that does is Rivco who’s customer service is outstanding. If I need a part this is one of the first manufacturers I check.

Something to make you scratch your head… An American Expat in Southeast Asia: Obama and the Inconvenient Truth

The AP is throwing a pitty party for the Iowa town ICE raided. You’d think they’d hauled off pillars of society. Building a town’s economy on illegal workers is little different than building it on Mob dollars. When it all comes crashing down don’t come crying to me.

Follow the invasion at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia off-shore website. Seems the Soviets, er… KGB, er… Russians cut off Georgian government websites….

So much for global warming. Not only is Indiana had a cooler than usual summer, a longer than usual spring, the weather patterns here are those of late September not early August. Indiana has had 2 90 degree days this year. Last year there were 22 and the average is in the upper teens. […]
