I guess he really wanted his $2. Wonder if this guy used to be have paper route?

Arnold: I’ll Pay U Bach

“Beware the greedy hand of government, thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry.” –Thomas Paine

An interesting op-ed relaying data on how individual to individual gun show sales not big source of problems whether they take place at a gun show, a shooting range or private residence.
The thing the anti-gun crowd continually pushes aside is that gun owners are among the more personally responsible citizens where ever you […]

In case ya’ll wonder why the Republican base didn’t turn out strong for McCain here is another example of how a government headed by a RINO looks amazingly like the same mess a Democrat would make. Go figure.

Late summer thru Fall I added 10 Parke County covered bridges to my photography collection but had forgotten to upload them. Talk of Spring riding reminded me to get them published in my Covered Bridges gallery

Great! The non-existent Global Warming has now been declared Irreversible. I find that terribly amusing in light of the continuing cooling trend including snow in Saudi Arabia. But more importantly those cool-aid drinkers in DC can move on to making laws on something that won’t destroy our economy and make us envious of Europe’s […]

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
–James Madison

If you still haven’t figured out why Republicans were lackluster in turning out for John McCain then it might be worth revisiting how his frequent opposition to his own party earned him the Maverick label.

Oil is below $36/bbl and gasoline is $1.139 so why are we paying $1.99/gal in Indiana?
Because we can’t have gasoline prices cheaper when Bush leaves office than when he came into office - which was the situation 2-3 weeks ago.

‘We Are One’ is, by statement of fact, the OPPOSITE of independence.
- Resistance is not futile

In an incredibly obvious cooling trend the past two years the devout continue their drive to “do something now” to save the earth from man made global warming.
It was minus 16 this morning and minus 8 yesterday morning, the coldest in 12 years. Yet this morning were I to believe one of the […]

Speaking of that new reality show…. Barny Frank wants to tackle mortgage failures by reducing the loan priciple (rather than high interest rates) effectively buying bad loan risk people houses. So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised someone took this idea to heart and wants to buy them a car, too.
Typical Democrats reinforcing bad behavior […]

It’s like the switch for the newest reality television show, Who Can Waste The Most Taxpayers Dollars, is premiering in Washington DC.
I have never thought George Bush a fiscal conservative (nor a social one either, but that’s for another post) believe he too spent way too much tax money. To his credit his tax policy […]

What was called an “illegal” tool for the Bush administration has been conveniently found legal by the Intelligence Court. Guess they didn’t want to hamstring Obama’s administration ( or maybe I’m just being paranoid since I have had more than 3 cups of coffee today)
Please raise your hand if you’re surprised by […]

I wonder if anyone else has noticed the articles on Pravda have the same perspective as the Democrat and Progressive political machines? Or is it the other way around….

The House has had term limits on committee chairman seats but now that the Dems are once again in control they’ve removed those term limits now that its THEIR people in these seats. Had the Republicans taken the House you can be sure the Democrats would have been all for retaining these limits.
I’d like to […]

Yet another corrupt politician charged and no where does it give the party affiliation. Of course she’s a Democrat because if a Republican jay-walks they have to note they’re a Republican in every paragraph. So much for the guardians of democracy.

If you’ve been paying attention then you’re not surprised that the party lamenting a lack of bipartisan efforts has been so quick to silence the House opposition by changing rules which give the minority party the ability to offer up alternative bills to the majority’s and the ability to say their peace before voting. Rules […]

I guess you can apply it to most things: When Barbed Wire is Outlawed, only Outlaws have Barbed Wires. If Newark spent as much effort chasing criminals burgling businesses as they did enforcing the aesthetic barbed wire ban these businesses probably woudln’t need the barbed wire to begin with.
It also proves […]

While the EPA is looking at taxing livestock to prevent global warming (I don’t know what they’ll do with that money that will counter global warming, but that’s not really the point is it? ) it turns out that Sea Ice at the end of 2008 is at same level as 1979.

Thanks […]

As I expected now that Franken is up in the recount he is ready to stop it. Also interesting is how 25 precincts have more ballots than people who signed the rolls.
