Stimulus Top Ten »
http://coburn.senate.gov/public//index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=e1e0624e-d02a-42d4-9dbb-f5b9f21b3572 This report by Senators Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and John McCain of Arizona highlights 100 Stimulus programs that are clearly a wasteful, ridiculous, and in many cases, a shameful waste of taxpayer money. To me, the term ‘stimulus’, when [...]
Blaine Budget Blowout »
I saw an article the other day that made me do a double-take. It said the school budget for Blaine County was going to be 92.8M (million) dollars for 2011. The number caught my eye because I also remembered reading that the Twin Falls schools budget was around 45M. I asked a simple question...how many kids are in each district? I guessed Twin [...]
Oh, Canada »
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100531/hl_nm/us_health_3 What an incredibly interesting story. Canada – Team Obama’s model of virtuosity and efficiency – has realized that “Free” Health Care is very expensive. In fact, it is so expensive, they are now “taking tough measures to curb healthcare costs...” What is the word I am looking [...]

Chicago, Chicago (Not My Kinda Town) »
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/04/state-reps-want-to-fight-violence-with-national-guards-help.html In the above referenced article, I found a couple of interesting (insert fancy word for “when stuff doesn’t make sense). The article is about a couple of state representatives in Illinois who are pleading with the Governor of [...]
In The Real World »
We are currently witnessing the implosion of the embedded Liberal ideology that Obama desperately tried to mask during his campaign. As always happens, the liberal way has now started to come apart at the seams. We knew Obama had exactly ZERO private sector leadership skills or experience. We knew his foreign policy skills were fine-tuned in a [...]
Our English Overlords »
Have you ever seen the movie, “Braveheart” starring Mel Gibson as a Scottish commoner – William Wallace - who becomes disenfranchised (to say the least) with the English occupation of his country? The movie includes a ruthless king and a bunch of weasely Noblemen who take bribes in order to maintain their positions of power...they favored [...]
Chicago Insurance Co. »
The Obamacare health insurance mandate reminds me of a bunch of Chicago gangsters selling protection. I can just envision Obama (Al Capone), Rahm (Frank Nitti), Pelosi (Teets Battaglia), and Reid (Jack Zuta) sitting around a smoke-filled speakeasy planning to provide “protection” to the neighborhood merchants. “We’re gonna provide you [...]
Poland’s 2009 GDP »
I found a headline that made me do a “double-take”: Poland’s GDP Tops European Union in 2009. What? Poland? I had to read further... http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/poland-economy.2g9 There are 27 countries in the European Union. The ONLY one to increase its GDP was Poland. (Gross Domestic Product - a basic measure of a country's [...]
Barry the Blamer »
I have never heard a United States President pass-the-buck as often as Barry Soetoro does. I think it is a standard line in all his speeches where he repeats somewhere in the middle “...I had a huge problem when I walked in the door...” Yes, it is true Bush left Barry a big bleepin’ bleep of a mess. But Mr. Soetoro also conveniently NEVER [...]
