The Change Machine Is Broken
Remember how they crabbed about cronyism in the Bush administration? Let’s look at Obama’s Secretary of Education. He came from the Chicago public school system, he’s obviously one of Obama’s hometown buddies. But, Chicago’s public school system is one of the worst in country. So why would this guy be best qualified for that job? […]

Stimulate Me
Enough FUD. Give us all a break. The $700 billion goes to bailout banks at our expense. Where is this $800 billion destined to go? What exactly is it stimulating? What has the $10 trillion in the last 4 months or so done for us? The only ones who have received any benefit from any […]

Spare Change
A couple months ago, they cleared the way for the $700 billion TARP. The first $350 billion was released, it was not used for what it was originally intended. It did nothing to help the economy. That was the Bush administration’s doing. Now Obama has pushed the release of the other $350 billion. I am […]

A Hero Is Born
Chesley B. Sullenberger, you are a true hero. You accomplished the unimaginable by landing that plane nearly intact – and without a single loss of life! Moreso, you did this with appearing to not so much as break a sweat. Further, you stayed onboard the sinking craft to ensure the safe exit of all passengers. […]

Open Letter To A Politico
Should a vote come up to bailout GM, Ford and Chrysler I request that you vote against it. Even if they were to receive a bailout, the chance of it making any improvement is slim to none. More money will be requested down the line when nothing improves and it will be yet another money […]

Discontinue production of all cars except Volt, Corvette and Cadillacs (yes, that includes dumping Camaro and […]

One Question For The Day
Why did Chelsea Clinton not attend a public school in DC? Why have the Obamas chosen to not send their children to public schools in DC?

Shocking Auto Industry Bailout News!
Well, not really. CEOs of Ford, GM and Chrysler all flew on their own company’s private jets to give testimony and beg for us taxpayers to bail them out. Why not make the drive in one of their own company’s products? You could have used a driver guy, you didn’t have to do actually do […]

Bailout
Well, well, well – lookie what we have here. The American people were against the bailout but it was passed anyway. I e-mailed my senators and congressman beforehand declaring that they would not have my vote in the future should they vote Yes. Both senators and the congressman voted Yes, shame – I liked them […]

Hoosier Hostility
You may have noticed that an option for Indiana’s current license plate is the “In God We Trust” plate. The plates are very abundant. I find it sad that anyone with this plate on their vehicle would: Flick ashes and throw cigarette butts out the window Cut people off in traffic Run red lights Not […]
