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. […]

Mr. West asks, now that The War in Iraq Is Over. What Next?
For the first time in 15 trips across the country, I didn’t hear one shot or a single blast from a roadside bomb. In Anbar Province, scene of the fiercest fighting during the war, the tribal sheiks insisted to Barack Obama on his […]

So you bought the bull about CFL bulbs and have replaced all the bulbs in your home or business. But are you aware of the dangers if you break one? This isn’t new news by any means, but news that warrants frequent reminders as the main stream is almost as enamored of CFL’s as they […]

Rasmussen reports a majority believe so…

The movement has been underway for sometime to revoke the policy which bans individuals with valid handgun carry permits to carry their firearms in national forests and parks. Naturally the liberals went all hysterical questioning the need for it, predicting the “peace and quiet” of the preserves would be disrupted by redneck antics, our […]

It appears a Maine redneck threatened Obama and Bush but the headline on Drudge only mentioned Obama. Worse, the agent who arrested this blue state redneck thinks Black Talon ammunition is “armor piercing” then the document goes on to state that it is “legal” to posses “armor piercing” pistol ammunition as well as all the […]

Oh now this is funny…

So now the Democrats think that one senate term of experience is equal to running the largest state in the union for 8 years and that is “inexperienced”. That 8 years in the Cavalry is “inexperienced”. That 7 years at the head of a large union (Screen Actors Guild) […]

One of the more pretentious and condescending pieces I’ve read in awhile, Convincing the climate-change skeptics pretty much says only the professionals have any right to discuss global warming if you’re a Republican global warming skeptic. Nice way to ensure your next grant, Professor…

Think you got it bad? So did this group of American’s who believed “Uncle Joe” and and migrated to Soviet Russia to find a “better life”. What they found was a rude surprise and how good they really had it in America even at the height of the Great Depression.

In case you’ve not heard, as I’m sure few have at this point, the House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking about energy. The Democrats have even gone so far as to try to have Capital police keep reporters away from the Republicans who continue talking about domestic drilling and slamming the […]

London hacker loses appeal over US extradition
A London hacker left messages on U.S. Army computers which he’d compromised, saying “US foreign policy is akin to government-sponsored terrorism these days…” and “It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year… I am SOLO. I will […]

Your SWAT team gets a tip drug dealing is going on at an address so without checking further the team storms the house. The scare the heck out of the homeowner who opens fire with his home defense shotgun and scores hits but hurts no one due to body armor. SWAT Team fires back […]

The author of Nothing for the Nation - Who Got What Out of Iraq is none other than my own former congressman, John Hostettler, who was turned out of office in 2006. He like a few other staunch big “C” Hoosier Conservatives were turned out that year with little support from the national party for […]

The American Physical Society and the myth of consensus in the Gobal Warming Debate.

I don’t even know where to go with this one. Apparantly Aurora, Colorado is full of scared old women who cannot tell an AK47 from a nail gun at a local Lowe’s store….

Running late getting home tonight so I stopped 30 minutes from the barn to call the Missus and give her an ETA. Within the 5 minutes I was there I had 2 other bikers slow enough to make sure I wasn’t broke down. Then a guy in a truck pulling an empty trailer actually […]

So Dad and daughter leave a theme park and some stranger pats the daughter on the behind… Rightfully so the Dad is upset and yells at the perp and his friend who then gather their friends and beat up Dad. I don’t know what the concealed carry rules are in Minnesota but I’d wager […]

I have to at least partially agree with Gramm in saying the economic slowdown ‘mental’ but rising fuel costs are not, they’re a fact. How we GOT to that point, that’s absolutely ‘mental’…

I’m so glad Atlanta has everything else under control so they can address the discrimination represented by signs that say ‘Men At Work’….

Talk to the State Department which is filled with nambies. I know, this isn’t news. The State Department is a quasi-autonomous department that just keeps going its own way irregardless of who or which party is in the White House, Congress or the Senate. Given such unaccountable power I have to ask who is […]
