Laws

I was making my morning rounds of Das UnterWebz when I came across Jonathon Turley’s article over at McNews (USA Today) entitled, “Do Laws Even Matter Today?” in which he takes the government to task for lending money to insolvent corporations, blocking investigations into government malfeasance and the political fallout from Arizona’s immigration law....

Spending Spree Continues

Spending Spree Continues

Well, it looks like the next (!) Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bailout will cost you and me at least 160 billion dollars and could grow to as much as an unbelievable 1 trillion dollars. And of course there is no guarantee that they won’t need another bailout in the future. The federal government/taxpayers now own...

Rose-Colored Glasses

Rose-Colored Glasses

Generally, if it comes from the mainstream media or the government (or even worse, both), I tend to take it with a grain of salt. Lately, I’ve been needing a lot of salt. Bags. Blocks. Truckloads. Railcars. There are 26 million Americans out of work, despite the government hurling billions of dollars of taxpayer...

President Obama Tells The Truth

President Obama screws up and tells the truth. Finally.  In a speech made in Quincy, Illinois, President Obama revealed a part of what he really believes and it should scare the crap out of every hard-working American in the country. Going off the teleprompter projected speech at one point, the President regurgitated the following...

The Friday Wrap

February 6, 2010
By Scooter

On Saturday night. Hey, I was busy helping out some friends. The last member of a 65,000 year old tribe has died, taking one of the world’s earliest languages to the grave. I’m just wondering why none of the tree-huggers did squat to save that language. I guess humanity, it’s history and knowledge doesn’t...

Qu’ils Mangent de la Brioche

Qu’ils Mangent de la Brioche

I believe that particular phrase should be chiseled into every lintel on every door in the Capitol and the White House, because they certainly are living it there. They own it. They work it like a broken down mule when the horse has been sold for seeds and coal. In case you aren’t familiar with it,...

America Rising

January 19, 2010
By Scooter

Very interesting. It appears that some of the Democrats are not pleased with the Hopenchange promised to them by the President during the campaign. Take three minutes and watch this. It’s very well done and reflects some of the sentiment that is coming from within the Democratic party.   It will be very interesting to see...

Stimulus and Bailout Works! NOT.

Stimulus and Bailout Works! NOT.

Detroit, the home of a whole lot of bailout dollars, is presently so insolvent that they cannot afford to bury unclaimed bodies. From the Times: “I have not seen this many unclaimed bodies in 13 years on the job,” said Albert Samuels, chief investigator at the mortuary. “It started happening when the economy went...

Hillary’s Truth

Sometimes the truth just slips out, like the Barney Frank blather posted last week. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton steps it up during high-level talks in Pakistan: “We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move.” Really? I hadn’t noticed. What I did notice is that it’s starting to look like not such a good...

I’m a Hippy

August 11, 2009
By Scooter

I never thought this would happen, but apparently me and the people I know are now hippies. That’s right. Hippies. Where’s my free love and all that? In the 60’s, when the hippies were all hot and bothered about the war and the government, the Fearless Leaders of that day and age told them...
