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, [...]

Things Get Hot, And “Do As We Say, Not As We Do,” Says Calderon »

Well, the protests against Arizona and any immigration reform have come and gone from the weekend. Despite the sheer volume of the cries, the number of people were not what was expected. LA had about half the numbers they expected, and Chicago only had about 8,000. I’m sure you’ll appreciate this: Upset — and scared, [...]

Some Positive News For A Change »

This past week brought some major news out of Houston, Houston Is Largest City to Elect Openly Gay Mayor. Way to go Lone Star State! The win is impressive, as is the new mayor, Annise Parker. Ms. Parker graduated from a high school in Charleston, SC. Her mom still lives here, though they do not [...]

Apparently, Holder Has Other Things To Do »

Than look at ACORN. Yet, the hits just keep on coming. There is another tape out from James O’Keefe of filmmaker James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles going to ACORN offices in an expose of the lengths to which ACORN workers will go to assist in setting up an underage prostitution ring. Here is the latest [...]

Would An Abacus Help To Accurately Count Jobs “Recovered”? »

Recently, Vice President Biden reported that the Stimulus Program had created a huge number of jobs. If you have 41 minutes to spend to watch him – what the hell is the matter with you?? Oh, no wait – sorry. Ahem. I meant to say, if you have the time, you can watch Biden announce [...]

Who’s Coming To Hang Out With Obama In Our White House? »

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it was a [...]

Pulling “Back The Curtain On ACORN” »

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found here [...]

“We’re Becoming A Puritanical Society” »

The other day, I wrote a post about Proposition 8 being upheld by the California Supreme Court. In response to that post, faithful reader, SFIndie, made this comment, which I want to share with you here. She does, in fact, live in San Francisco, and knows whereof she speaks. Anyway, I thought it particularly good, [...]

Proposition 8 Upheld »

By now, you may have heard that the CA Supreme Court voted 6 -1 to uphold Proposition 8, which bans same sex marriage. The caveat is that those who got married under the law are still legally married. You can click HERE to read more about it. Below is a video of a number of [...]

Amazingly, There Is Even More On ACORN »

Just when you think there cannot possibly be more hidden agendas with ACORN and the people who are affiliated with it, something else turns up. I stumbled onto this video while looking for something else entirely: I don’t usually watch Glenn Beck, but the title sure grabbed my attention:

Obama, GM, And The UAW »

I saw the following video Tuesday morning, and could scarcely believe my eyes:

Speaking Of Voting – Shocking Study From The US Senate »

(Bumped up from last week.) I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that were [...]

“Black Box Voting” Part 2 »

DISCLAIMER: We do not personally endorse BlackBoxVoting and, while we are aware of the complex stories behind the controversies, we are not focusing on those stories during this presentation and haven’t any inclination to get into those stories via e-mails or blog posts. What we are concerned about is the legitimacy of voting methodologies in [...]

does sean penn have a clue? – updated »

As much as I loved the Oscars this year, and as much as I want to see Milk, I was pissed when I saw Sean Penn’s acceptance speech. Actors, as Americans, have the right to express their political points of view. And we have the right to separate their views from their roles, or not. [...]

California must be rescued. It really is too big to fail. »

I’m no economist and this is just my personal un-educated opinion, not the Noquarter management. But that’s never stopped me from writing about other subjects I take seriously.  I take California seriously and sometime early this morning I awoke with a thought I can’t get rid of.  California must be rescued at all costs. This [...]
