A few days late, but not any less great! Our (un)beloved (now ex) governor, head of the Donkey Nutjob Clowns (DNC) is now just a blight on the history of this great commonwealth. But before we bid a welcome good-bye, let us reminisce on some of his last great statements: On seeing a demonstration against raising road taxes (if the worse recession since the great depresion according to his masters), he told the crowd - "Then stay off the road!" Such a nice guy. Does thi...
This is a rebutal to a comment posted on this Blog: https://forums.joeuser.com/370739/page/35/#2506096 I chose to make it an article in itself because of the length. I have linked to the original article and want to thank SivCorp for allowing me to comment on their blog. I beleive the original comment that I am rebutting is an attempt to rebut one of my own articles, but the blogger never posted there.

By now, anyone with even a passing fancy to the Anthropogenic Global Warming debate has heard of the infamous hockey stick graph. This was a graph, originally created by Michael Mann that showed that man was cooking the planet. It was the basis for virtually all the proof that the AGW proponents put forward that we were doomed unless we dumped all technology and reverted to prehistoric days. The problem with the graph is that it is a lie. At best it was a product of flawed sc...
Many of the faithful have denigrated skeptics by calling them names, throwing insults, and basically crying for their beheading at the new Spanish Inquisition. Surprising if you believe in AGW. If indeed it is a "fact", why are threats and insults needed? As more and more of the research that has gone into AGW is being called into question, these same faithful have started a new tactic. Impugn the reputation. Malign the skeptics accusing them with association and payof...
Two Months ago, America validated Martin Luther King's vision. Today, Liberals, the Mainstream Media and the vested racial animosity groups drove us back 45 years. 2 months ago, America elected a black man as president. Disregarding his race as a factor in stating they wanted a change. But for the past year, Liberals, Race Ambulance Chasers, the Mainstream Media have worked doggedly to destroy King's vision. And to turn back the hands of time so that instead of be...
As they say, no good deed goes unpunished, or bad deed unrewarded. It appears that not only did a lot of "evil rich" people get stuck when Madoff swindles $50b, but some organizations did as well. And none more deserving of the swindle than Planned Parenthood. While they only lost 20% (apparently) of their funds, at least it was a start. And what are they doing investing donations in the first place? Madoff was not a saving bank, but supposedly an investment firm. ...
With the US struggling with a recession, large companies going belly up, bailouts totalling trillions of dollars, what is congress doing in all this? HOw are they helping the economy? By using the Trickle down theory apparently. They just voted themselves a $4,700 pay raise! So I guess they think they themselves are going to spend the economy out of this recession? When they sit an lecture CEOs on their salary and bonuses, when they sit and condemn extravagant salaries, w...
Recently, several members of JU have been engaged over the latest hot political topic in the US - The Auto Bailout. Tis the season as they say, but not the Christmas one. As it appears every company that now has to struggle is going hat in hand to congress for a bailout. And the Auto industry is just the latest. In the discussions that ensued, one of the popular themes was that the only reason the Auto industry was asking for the bail out, and congress - solidly in the democ...
Joeuser has had a lot of people posting very unkind (and that is being kind) things about Sarah Palin. It seems that every time they come up with something to bolster their hate (bias) of her, someone else has to come up with the truth. MOre often than not the perpetrator will not believe it, and deny it (they still deny that Joe the Plumber is named Joe and is a Plumber). Adding to the long list of "I hate her so I will believe anything about her" lines on Palin is Africa.&...
Headlines in the conservative internet blare "Bought for $650m". Referring to the white house. But was it? Despite spending an obscene amount of cash. Despite Obama breaking his pledge, and spending (Wasting?) his money on a 1/2 hour infomercial, his money played a very small part in the election. Oh, I am not saying you dont "need" money. But there comes a time when the money is wasted. And it is obvious that there was a lot of waste. Getting calls 3...
Back in the primaries, one of our esteemed fellow JU members wrote about a key primary in their state and how it was nice at first that they were getting attention, but not for long. Fast forward about 7 months. ANd multiply by $600million! This state has become the keystone state. Several are said to be in play, but for some reason, the candidates see this one as the key state. I really wish they did not. While it is flattering (not really) to think that "our vo...
A week ago we were enlightened with the choice of John McCain of his VP pick - Sarah Palin. While I for one am impressed with her credentials and her nomination, I am still not a McCain Palin supporter. Although I am leaning in that direction. I still have to get over the top of the ticket. Apparently many others do as well - or have decided to ignore it and focus on the lower half of the ticket. I have noticed that many democrats, Obama/Biden included, are somehow under ...
Life imitates art. We see that every day when there is a new crises that mirrors a novel (Executive Orders - 9/11). But we should not be seeing it when someone is supposedly serious! Yet we do. The latest Obamabomb is that he sees dead people. Really! On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong. He saw fallen heros in the a...
Even if it is only a year early, the sooner we get rid of Tim "Ted Matthews" Kaine, the better for the Commonwealth! Why should we be the only ones to suffer?
With the "suspension" of his campaign, Romney has all but conceded the Republican nomination to McCain. Many on the right side of the spectrum, are howling as they cannot stand or support McCain, and so for a bit, the debate will shift on what they will do. Which will just be a misdirection by the MSM since what they (the non-McCain supporters) will do is not going to matter for 9 more months. What is going to happen in the here and now, is that the cat fight over on the democrat sid...
