Let it be known. I dont like Robert Wexler. I think he is a complete toady of the loony left. Let it be known. But I saw the clips of his Stephen Colbert show, and you know what? I would like to have a beer with him! I still dont like him, but I do admire his willingness to once in awhile say "what the hell", and have fun! IN this instance he gets 2 thumbs up from me! But not from some unfortunately, and many of them on the left. SO what is all thi...
Ok, they have not. But a question. Mostly for those who are quick to condemn Israel. If Cuba did, what should be our response? Seriously. This is open to all nationalities. What should America do? Should we ignore them? Even tho a few dozen people die? Or should we retaliate? And if so what should the retaliation be? If A country (and Cuba is just the scapegoat as it is the closest and whackiest) decides to light up our sky with death.&nbs...
Thanks to Trudy for bringing up this rant ( http://trudygolightly.joeuser.com/index.asp?aid=124114 ) Back in the early 90s, Congress Passed and Clinton signed a law that taxes telephones. It was called the Universal Access Tax, and it was designed to fund education. How? It was designed to fund schools and libraries in getting connected to the Internet. And to the tune of about $2.5+ billion a year, it started collecting the dough and pumping out money. And 12...
Our beloved idiot of a governor, who refuses to acknowledge one of his predecessors, has opined that "It is all a faycade". Whoops! Sorry, wrong idiocy. No, our Illuminati of ignorance. Our king of idiocy. Our beloved lover of broken promises lies and stupidity has endorsed another 25 years of segregation in the US by endorsing the latest Voting Rights Act Extension. His illustrious idiotness has stated: "Unfortunately, the Voting Rights Act is as necessary ...
I heard a talk show host talking about the World Cup. And he was yuck yucking about The French and the Head Butting Episode. But then he said something that made me stop and consider. He said the French were the most liberal society out there! Discounting Communism (which is just a despotic dictatorship anyway), he is right. During 04, Kerry was called the "French Candidate". Mostly for his snobbish ways. But it stuck. Then we had Dean that decides that all wh...
Harry Reid is threatening to block the congressional raise that the fat cats have voted themselves unless congress passes a new Minimum Wage law. GREAT. The last people who deserve a raise is those tin plated buffoons! And if it takes an impotent threat by Reid (he cannot block the house raise as each house does its own thing even if they usually do it together) to kill their pay raise, I am all for it. But I am afraid the Caspare milquetoasts of republicans will cave. ...
Back in the days before the Civil war, there was generally considered to be 2 kinds of blacks. Free Men and slaves. Free Men, through work or a twinge of conscious of their former masters, were just that. Free people. And as such, they enjoyed all the rights granted to other citizens of the US. They could vote, they could own property, they could marry and raise a family. They were citizens. After the war, all the blacks were Free Men (Men used in this sens...
Quick. For anyone over 30, what was the big boogie man of the 80s? Anyone? Well, for those of us around, and objective enough to understand what happened during the 80s, the answer is easy. It was Thermonuclear war, and a Cowboy in the White House that was going to bring it about. Except that Cowboys name was not Bush (not even Bush41), but Reagan. And so in 1983, we were blessed with the 80s version of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "An Inconvenient Truth". ...
This is in response to Col Klink. As I have not read his article, I cannot say that he is totally incompetent, but I can say with authority (as I am an Economist by education) that he is indeed clueless. First, the differentiation between micro and macro is the difference between personal choice and nation choice. That is, I chose to shop Wally world because they give me the best bang for my buck. That is Micro. America buys a lot from China because they are cheapest.&...
Ted Matthews, aka Tim Kaine, governor of Virginia, broke his first campaign promise in a record 6 days. A record that will last many years I am sure. With over 3 1/2 years to go, Ted Matthews is well on his way to breaking every promise he made during the Governor's race as he once again decided that his faith was more important than the law, after promising to uphold the law. Which does beg the question of how good his faith is (apparently it is selective as well since he support...
In one of the sickest examples of refusing to accept responsibility for ones own actions, a 40 something year old lawyer has decided she had an abortion because of Bush. And then she spends the next dozen paragraphs detailing her own irresponsibility and that of her husband, plus decisions made by doctors and pharmacies - not required by law - plus decisions of the state of Virginia. Yet this all must be Bush's fault. Nowhere is there a direct link to Bush (He was never Governor o...
If there was ever any doubt of why Tony Snow should have replaced Scott McClelland, those doubts should be put aside based upon the latest press conference. The fossil, Helen Thomas, still working even after senility has set in, started the latest rounds of questions thusly: Q Why did the President pick a man who is so contemptible of the public servants in Washington to be his Domestic Advisor -- saying, "People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings"? Why...
[Note: the link is to a subscription site. For that reason, I will quote most of the article] Yep, Virginia is still without a Budget. Why? Because the Republican controlled House of Delegates are finally learning how to be Republicans again. They have dug their heels in and stated unequivocally - NO NEW TAXES. That is in the face of opposition from the democrat governor (Ted Matthews - errr I mean Tim Kaine) and a supposed Republican controlled Senate. And...
Just as Al Gore's stardom is about to hit stage screen and hollywood empty heads, along comes a report that sinks his ship! Yes, that master of impersonating Chicken little with his "An Inconvient Truth" is being usurped by none other than his supposed supporters. For it seems that the death and destruction that he and his ilk have decided to scare us with is not happening. Latest indication? The Ozone is repairing itself. Now some may say that is due to the ban on...
In another example of his firm grasp om politics and the laws of the Commonwealth he is supposed to govern, Ted Matthews "It was all just a faykade" (AKA Tim Kaine) stated that Virginia does not need an official language bill since: "It's been the official language since 1607," he told a caller on the WRVA "Ask the Governor" radio show. The problem is Virginia passed just such a bill in 1996. Isn't it so nice to have a governor so clueless? Maybe he can pass a law outlawing murd...
