Thoughts On “The Education Mess” Pt 2 – Romney Steps In It

Share Button

Here are my Thoughts On “The Education Mess” Pt 1.   A friend pointed me to this article on something Romney said that has various people up in arms. The article starts in this way: Republicans always say they want to get the federal government out of education. This comes in many forms, but usually […]

Why Santorum Conservatives HATE Libertarians

Share Button

Because they would resist his desire to do this! Everyone, if you can’t see that the Social Conservative agenda is just as much a Big Government one as the liberal agenda, maybe you’re one of those not so bright people I hear certain Conservatives suggest that shouldn’t have the right to vote.

From The “HooRay, More Criminalization Of Everything!” Dept.

Share Button

While the two parties do have their differences, and no one in Congress is willing to compromise in order to fix the budget and stuff, they are very much in lock-step where it counts…. Destroying the Constitution and eroding our freedoms! As part of this legislation, Congress expressly forbids trespass onto the grounds of the […]

When Paymasters Collide! And More!

Share Button

The delicious quote of the day! From this article quoting none other than Rupert Murdoch concerning Obama’s ambivalence to take a stand to support the dying SOPA legislation: “So Obama has thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery.” Murdoch…  Complaining about paymasters? That’s Rich! Somehow, […]

Two Weeks – Expect Lite Blogging.

Share Button

I’m going to be very busy in the next couple of weeks. Both of my bands, Taylor Martin and Acoustic Highway, are going to see increased work in the weeks ahead. After a couple of months off, the Police Tribute band is gearing back up, so I need to set aside some time to remind […]

In The “Sounds Good, But…” Department.

Share Button

Or, to steal a phrase from Admiral Ackbar… “It’s a TRAP!!!” But, as far as traps go, this one may be a good one. President Obama is going to ask Congress to give him more power to be able to merge competing Federal agencies, thus getting rid of competing agencies, easing the conflict of overlapping […]

Things That Make You Go…. “Huh?” (the games people play) UPDATE X 2: So Much Dishonesty On Both Sides. This Stuff Is Just Pissing Me Off

Republican House Leader John Boehner is complaining that the Obama administration is committing an “extraordinary and entirely unprecedented power grab,” for making a recess appointment. “The precedent that would be set by this cavalier action would have a devastating effect on the checks and balances that are enshrined in our constitution,” Boehner said. Checks and […]

I’m Voting For Ron Paul… And More!

Share Button

In a recent e-mail, my Mom wanted to pick my brain concerning Ron Paul. I had been meaning to visit that subject anyway, so I’m posting my reply to her here as well. I happen to respect Ron Paul a great deal. I do think some of his ideas on fiscal policy are goofy (going […]

Quantity vs Quantity – A Talking Points Take-Down.

Share Button

As the current unthinking talking point reminds us, Yes, Ronald Reagan did raise the debt ceiling 18 times, as opposed to Barrack Obama’s measly 5, soon to be 6. Of course, if he wins re-election, and the frequency of debt ceiling raises continue, this President will have approved about the same number of DCR’s as […]

Incandescent Bulb Ban Burns Out!

Share Button

Good… But the fact that it was there in the first place illuminates the fact that most of those in Congress are dimmer than the bulbs they tried to ban… I guess they simply didn’t like the competition!!!!!
