Although I don’t generally agree with the “hidden” agendas of the ACLU or what it has become, I will give a tip of the hat to one of their latest efforts.  A company has patents on two human genes and the ACLU is challenging the patents.  I agree these patents should be revoked, and no […]

Credit due to Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia.  He wrote up bill (HR 2175) which if passed would prohibit any ED commercials from appearing on television between the hours of 6am and 10pm.  There will be those that claim that this is too much government intrusion, that the “gubmint” should not be parenting our children.   […]

Just wanted to inform everyone of another way that someone is out to shaft you, in case you haven’t heard.  Many Internet Service Providers are looking at implementing metered billing, meaning there would no longer be a flat fee of say, $39.99 for your tier of access.  They are spinning it to make it look […]

The last 100 days have gone by quickly.  Everyone else is grading the prez so so I am going to jump on the boat and do it, too!  I will start with the good: You, your wife and kids are a good example what a family should be. You engage the public, attempt to maintain […]

An Air Force One plane with F-16 escort over New York – how could this have ever been allowed, let alone without informing the public?  It should never have even been considered!  It was irresponsible and insensitive.  Whoever came up with the idea is clueless.  Further, let’s think about this for a minute – the […]

GM looks to be possibly nearing its point of no return (bankruptcy may be its only option now).  But, what if someone else stepped in at this point?  Let’s say Toyota stepped in and bought a controlling stake in GM, and supplanted GM’s leaders with those of its own.  Then those leaders did away with […]

Please see the link below (if the link is broken, do a web search for “Marcus Luttrell dog”).  I heard elsewhere that this dog symbolized to him all the guys in his squad that got killed (as it mentions, he was the lone survivor).  He said that when the dog was killed it was as […]

Stole the voice from Bono.  Stole the music from Satriani.  Stole the outfits from The Beatles.  Why do they love you so?

Since this is apparently going to be the new legislation rammed down our throats, how about considering these three factors as priorities over anything else?  (Oddly, not one of them ever seems to be part of health care overhaul.  Pink elephants?): 1.  Preventative health care.  If we didn’t weigh or smoke so much, or got […]
