Sorry to see him gone from CNN.    He was one of the few worthwhile characters over there.  We need more of his type of media personality, not less. Lou, I guess they could no longer handle your independent views.  Your gripes with illegal immigration and (lack of) border control are spot on but in this […]

So it turns out it looks like I was wrong again.  I thought LeBron James would turn out to be just another whiny punk princess like Bryant.  Getting into the big time too early tends to do that to people.  It will be a real classy act if you are able to follow through and […]

We have two interesting health-related news headlines in the last two days.  Here’s the summary: The percentage of people who smoke is up in the last year. Childhood obesity is still on the rise (between the ages of 6 and 19 it has tripled since 1970). And Congress just voted yes on a bill to […]

The following is a letter which I send to my reps.  It is short and to the point and specifically made to not be long and drawn out as that would lessen the chances of it being read.  Check back on this post often as I will make changes as I think of more things […]

Isn’t this bizarro world of ours great?  A new poll shows that 73% of Americans want something done about illegal immigration (see link below).  The gubmint does nothing about it.  The majority of us didn’t want the stimulus packages passed, they go right through.  The majority of us don’t want these BS healthcare “reform” deals […]

I guess that’s what BO’s people have been telling him.  Afterall, here we have yet another instance where he shows no change.  Look at what’s going on with Afghanistan.  Once again, the leaders of our armed forces (the ones who should be making the decision) are saying that they need more troops but the suits are […]

See, it’s coming together as they all have planned all along, my friends.  And when I say all, I mean all.  Both sides, not just the right as the left wants you to believe.  We have Iran boxed in on the left and the right, we’re just looking for reason to tighten the wrench.  It’s been […]

Do you know who Dean Kamen is?  You probably know one of his inventions, the Segway “scooter.”  Well, did you know that he (or better, his company DEKA) has also created much more important things?  DEKA has also created a very advanced wheelchair (although it doesn’t seem fair to call it that considering what it can […]

I remember exactly where I was when I heard about it. I remember the disbelief, the anger and the uncertainty. I remember the grainy shadow of a killer walking through an airport.  And the haunting voice of a hero on a cell phone. I remember seeing so many with gray faces save for the oval around their mouths […]

We loaned GM $50 billion to avoid bankruptcy.  For you politicos out there, just for clarification, what that sentence means is 1) GM is supposed to repay the money as it is a loan and 2) it was loaned to GM in order to avoid bankruptcy.  As I, and probably a great number of us, predicted (except apparently the politicos), GM […]
