LATER, SOUTER
With the announcement of Justice Souter’s impending retirement, I have heard two reactions so far; both talking about how a woman should be appointed to the Supreme Court.  One was from Arlen Specter.
I have to tell you that I’m really tired of this bulldookey. 
What happened to the concept of hiring someone who can [...]

Don’t forget that Thursday is National Day of Prayer.
This is otherwise known as Screw the Constitution Day. Or Trash the First Amendment Day.
Who is monitoring it?The National Day of Prayer Task Force, which is run by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family.  They want to know what the White House plans are for [...]

Take a moment to visit Popular Mechanics.  There’s a very interesting story about Project ISIS, which is a balloon-like airship designed to stay in the atmosphere for up to a year.  Its function is radar and it will monitor “everything from aircraft to individual troops across hundreds of miles.”
At a cost of only $400 million, [...]

Why was there a very large plane flying low through New York with a fighter escort?
On the surface it’s “Jeepers, we’re sorry, that was stupid!  We were just setting up a photo-op.”
The president is pissed, claiming he didn’t know.  He was not on board the plane, which is known as Air Force One only when [...]

Check out Ron Paul on YouTube.
He has some very interesting comments on the flu `pandemic’ and the government’s reaction to it.  We are much the worse for not having elected him president.

The reason for the investigation?  It is claimed that the software makes it [...]

The president has stated that he won’t pour our money down a black hole.  He will require `accountability’ from the banks requiring additional handouts…
Well, thank God that’s over.  Here I was, all worried that all of our tax dollars, now and into the future, had gone straight down the loo.  Now we can all stop [...]

Once again I was exposed to Faux News this evening after work.  The sound is muted and the closed captioning is onscreen.  As we all know, I’m not exactly a big sports fan (the same way Dick Cheney wasn’t a Hendrix fan) but what I witnessed horrified me.
The announcer for the Phillies, Harry Kalas, just [...]

We’re tired.  Tired of the idiotic decisions and spending in D.C.  In the find tradition of our ancestors, it’s Tea Party Time.
Find the tea party closest to you!
It is of course no coincidence that the date for the larger parties nationally is April 15 - TAX DAY.
Attend one (at least).  If you can’t attend, take [...]

BELLEVUE, WA – Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on April 7 acknowledged that gun registration is on her agenda, days after Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters in Mexico that the Second Amendment would not “stand in the way” of administration plans to crack down on alleged gun trafficking to Mexico.
“These are alarming remarks from [...]
