Recently, the Honduran Army arrested the sitting President and flew him to exile in Costa Rica. Many Central American heads of state, especially Leftist heads such as Castro and Chavez condemned the action as illegal.

The Unions’ Servant: Obama. Bought and Paid For.

June 26th, 2009 · No Comments

The deal worked out with the General Motors takeover where the unions came out way ahead of the legal, contracted, debt holders was the first blatant use of the unions’ power in Washington. The President and the Supreme Court were implicitly held up for public ridicule for their contempt of American business practices and legal history.

Jobless Rates at Record High!!! Don’t Believe it!

June 21st, 2009 · No Comments

Most of the lumber mills were shut down and one had dismantled and sold off all its equipment to Paraguay. That was a tough time. While there were jobs, they were hard to get and I was over-qualified for most of them because I had a college degree.

Obama Will Spend US Into Oblivion

June 17th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Healthcare equals spending huge amounts of money, as does his energy policy, and as does his free college education policy.

First Control of Cigarrettes, then Obesity!

June 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Citizens will be obliged by street weighers to weight and to pay fines if overweight. Overweight will not be allowed on public transportation without paying a “weight levy”. They may not be allowed in public theaters because they may “overflow” their allotted seating. Along with the “You Must Be This Tall” sign at amusement parks, there will be a scale stating “You Must Not Weigh More Than..”.

Obama’s Health Care and the “Scare Tactics” of the Opposition.

June 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Palin and Letterman: Fiasco First Class

June 11th, 2009 · No Comments

I think, and I’m grasping at straws, that the humor was alluding to Sarah’s other, older daughter who had a child out of wedlock, an event that hardly raises a liberal eyebrow these days. The sad thing is that Letterman was clueless as to the moral and legal aspects of his joke.

Sotomayor is another Rush-Job by the Obama Administration.

June 10th, 2009 · No Comments

It seems that when anything has a hint of controversy and requires careful examination, the administration tries to ram it through as fast as possible.

Norwich University at Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom is #300.

June 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Okay, so I’ve probably made a fool of myself rambling on here. I had promised myself to post all I knew about the 300th city, but was at a loss with Norfolk. I know realize that recognition of a place-name doesn’t mean diddly-squat when it comes down to really knowing anything.
