Rioters Hijack Middle Class March – ACORN? »

The riot organizers in London on Wednesday were NOT students. If you see the name ACORN International surface as the force behind this “community organized” hijacking, you should not be surprised. First. In Great Britain the phrase Middle Class is near equivalent to the phrase Upper Class in the U.S. A spokeswoman for the student [...]

The Conversation Continues…**Update** »

**update – “Amy’s surgery went well and she now has a brand new titanium right knee!  Thanks to all for your good thoughts and prayers today.”** Well, this will be my last post for a while. Again, I want to thank everyone for their warm support and encouragement of me as I prepare to have [...]

Labor Day Celebration *Open Thread* »

I hope everyone is having a good day today. If you are with family and friends, I trust you are having a lovely day. If you are traveling, stay safe. And if you are working, well, sorry! I have a few tunes for you for the day. First up, the Judds back in the day:

A Bit Of A Follow Up To Trumka And Palin *Open Thread* »

To my recent post about Palin and the new McCarthyism. Michelle Malkin had this post about how President Obama will be spending his Labor day, “Obama spending Labor Day with real thugs.” Wanna guess who? That’s right, Richard Trumka. And why would Malkin say such a thing in her post? This is why: [snip] Trumka [...]

“Palinism” Is The New McCarthism? »

Could be, according to the AFL-CIO president, Richard Trumka, if she doesn’t watch her words. Okay – I have to stop right there. Can I just tell you how much I resent it when men tell women how they should talk? That would be a big pet peeve of mine. So, from the get-go, I [...]

A Private Jet And A Car Care Tool »

One would be hard pressed these days to not know that many people in this country are struggling. New Unemployment claims continue to be over 400,000 weekly, and unemployment benefits have been extended to 99 weeks (yes, almost 2 years). The DOW continues to hover around 10,000. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing. People are struggling, they [...]

Oh, Who Really Needs Food Stamps In This Economy? »

UPDATE to post originally published here on July 18. 2010: When I wrote this a few weeks ago, I thought, surely, there is no way the Democrats will go through with this. How wrong I was. Not only did Speaker Pelosi go through with it, but she demanded everyone return from their summer break, when [...]

Obama’s Adminstration Employs Forgetful Tax Payer For SEIU Funds »

How is it there are so many people in government who forget to pay their taxes? As it is, federal employees owe the US Government over $3 BILLION in unpaid taxes. But how is it that Obama keeps picking people to be in his Administration who “forget” to pay their taxes? I don’t get it. [...]

Obama Playing Politics With Borders, Gulf Spill, and KSM »

Recently, Sec. Hillary Clinton made news by telling an Ecuadorean reporter that, sure enough, Obama plans to sue Arizona over its new law. Huh. That was news to Gov. Brewer. Nice way for her to find out for sure. But it begs the question, why. Why is Obama suing Arizona over its new law for [...]

Obama’s Answer To The Oil Spill »

Oh, it’s a doozy. I admit, using Jon Stewart two times in one week is a bit unusual for me, but hey – it was Obama’s first Oval Office speech, plus it was both telling, and funny, as hell. So here ya go – Obama’s plan: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs [...]

While We Are Distracted… »

By the BP oil spill crisis, and it is certainly worthy of our attention, don’t think things have stopped going on in Washington, DC. Actually, come to think of it, there is a connection between the BP oil crisis and one major issue in DC, the Obamacare program. That connection is – wait for it [...]

The Year Of The Women? **UpdatedX2** »

Wow, what a night Tuesday night! This is shaping up to be the Year of the Women, finally. Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina took California, two women with tremendous resumes in the private sector. Nikki Haley won big in South Carolina, though she does have to have a run-off June 22nd. She is fully expected [...]

Students Sent Home For Wearing Patriotic Clothes »

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this story last night, “Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees; Freedom of expression or cultural disrespect on Cinco de Mayo?.” Now, there are times kids might need to change their t-shirts, or turn them inside out, or what have you, for inappropriate messages, [...]

Giving New Meaning To The Term, “Bully Pulpit” »

Yet another crack in the Obama devotion from many in the MSM is surfacing. My colleague, Linda Anselmi, came across this article recently, and passed it on. This time, the focus is Obama’s bullying tendencies. This is not a new concept to me – I have been writing about what a bully Obama is since [...]

Fannie And Freddie’s Lasting Impact **UPDATED** »

~~Bumped Up~~ The DOW continues to be on the rise, which is certainly some good news, particularly for investors. Unfortunately, that is not translating into new jobs. Quite the opposite, in fact. For the second week in a row, first time unemployment benefits have risen, this week close to half a million (484,000), a rise [...]
