Ever wonder what the heck melamine, a chemical used in producing plastics, has to do with foods and why it keeps ending up in our foods? That was my question starting when it was killing pets and more recently when it is killing children from contaminated milk.
After all these scares the NYT article finally reveals […]

Those who would be our masters are now proposingmeat must be rationed to four portions a week as a counter to global warming. As has been said since the beginning, its not about GW, its about control - and who has it.

A must see video, Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis?

Strangely when big money manipulation is involved, whether it is mortgages or oil, good old George Soros and Maurice Strong are the first to mind. People with enough money and a proven track record of using it to further their agenda.

With so many banksters and fraudsters openly treating the U.S. treasury as their private […]

The Unions’ men on Capital Hill have realized their stance on Energy has made it difficult for many Americans to afford to drive American made vehicles. This has put the union employees in a lurch, even caused layoffs and closing of some parts suppliers. So much for being for the “little guy”, eh?
Anyway, as […]

An informative post at American Thinker: Barack Obama and Alinsky’s Rules for Psychopaths reflects on who was Saul Alinsky and sheds more daylight on movement. Which is timely considering he wrote the recommendation that got Obama into Harvard….

Bill Clinton is becoming a bit less popular with the left in recent days as he says things about McCain. But that’s only the start…
On Thursday he told ABC’s Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been….
…resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some […]

From the Republican 2008 Platform…
We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all.
$700 Billion to bail […]

In an interesting article on the Lehman bankruptcy we find a small nugget of profound wisdom those handling the current economic crisis should remember:
Business failure is not only a permissible outcome of capitalism, it’s a necessary one.
While the Fed and Govt seem to have recalled this in the case of Lehman more recent endeavors show […]

Want to know why socialized medicine makes things worse? How about an a Man dying 34-hour after he arrived at the ER and was still waiting to be seen?

So the Demcrats in Congress are advancing their budget which includes a $25 billion in bailout loans for domestic automakers and the bill is not being made available for public review or comment. And these are the guys accusing W of being overly secretive? Hm… whats in there the public won’t like?

As I suspected when he was named Joe Biden continues to be a boon to the Republicans. His most recent statements of No coal plants here in America continue this trend. If he believes what he said its bad for the U.S.. If he was pandering, its bad for the U.S.. Pretty much a […]

If this study means what they say it means then I’d like them to explain - why is it then, that the Liberals are the ones who want the Goverment to run every aspect of our lives (that requires responsible behavior that is) while Conservatives want the Government out of the way so they can […]

A language we’ve thought dead or dying for a couple of decades just won’t die. This is one of those things that drives the younger developers crazy since anything older than 6 months old is “old school” and not the “right” way. I, on the other hand still have my college COBOL books - […]

So Obama is questioning McCain in Nevada on his economic record but what I’d like to know is where was Obama when McCain was on the Senate floor making statements such as this.

Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions […]

So in the midst of this “financial crisis” the Senate is going to adjourn becuase Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that “no one knows what to do’’ at the moment.
I think it means Obama doesn’t know what to do either and if they adjourn he doesn’t have to admit […]

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he […]

How about knowing who got money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Interesting Obama is #2…

Karnak says (drum roll please) Palin Won’t Win Over Hillary Voters.
The question, Is Shirley MacLaine a credible “medium”?
As credible as any member of the ditsy twits I suppose…

In a town that must be a Nanny State’s dream, if you’re not wearing a helmet they confiscate your bike. No… not your motorcycle… your bicycle. I’m often amazed my, and my parents, generation survived at all….

As Putin dispatches bombers to Venezuela he is warning US not to start a new arms race as the bombers don’t have nuclear weapons aboard. Like we’d believe their statement, they’re sending supersonic bombers to a nation openly aligning themselves as an Enemy of the U.S..
What he wants is to delay us from seeing that […]

As a Heinline fan (especially of his early works) I found this piece on how he handled fanmail quite entertaining.

Everyone wants the California fixed as long as the cuts don’t hurt me… go cut someone elses job/pay/benefits… So say they get the Gov recalled like they did Davis. What is the next guy going to do? The state is still teetering on bankruptcy, spending more than they take in and getting further […]

Say what you want about Gov. Palin it looks like that ’stupid’ selection is proving smart and effective.

Its been a few years since grade school civics, for those of you old enough to have even gotten civics lessons….
America was built to be something different, something better. A “city on the hill” to stand as a beacon to a lost and dying world. A place of refuge for the masses starving in the […]
