President Dwight D.Eisenhower, 1953: “It is fitting and proper that we devote one day each year to paying special tribute to those whose constancy and courage constitute one of the bulwarks guarding the freedom of this nation and the peace of the free world.” The Honorable Melvin Laird, 1972 Former Secretary of Defense: “At home [...]
May 17, 2012 in government spending, government waste, Pentagon
You read that correctly. The Pentagon has ordered a study to study whether it does too many studies. In 2010, the Pentagon launched its study of studies after it had received a large amount of studies. As a result, the Government Accountability Office reviewed this latest “study” and decided it was a flop because it [...]
May 16, 2012 in Fisker Karma, green technology
This is not the first time I’m writing about the Fisker Karma. As I’ve said before, our government is hellbent on shoving “green” technology down our throats whether we like it or not. Well, here’s yet another story coming out of Texas: “Last week, a fire badly damaged the home of a new Fisker Karma owner, [...]

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the big shindig at George Clooney’s house last night. Each of the 150 guests paid about $40,000 to be in the same room as their Messiah raising $15 million for the President’s re-election. Now, I don’t care what any one does with their money. If they want to blow [...]

If you haven’t been standing on line in your local grocery store, you probably haven’t seen the latest cover of Time magazine. Meet Jamie Lynne Grumet and her 3-year old son.

May 11, 2012 in Barack Obama, election day 2012, First Amendment, racism, women's rights
Every time I turn around, someone is calling me a racist. A Facebook “friend” constantly ranted about the tea party people, calling them racists because they disagreed with our President. Not being a tea party member, but agreeing with a lot of what they’re about, I “unfriended” her after I got sick and tired of [...]
