Out of Line

Speaker Pelosi’s Syrian trip this weekend and justification of same are all wrong. She is trying to one up and embarrass President Bush and all she is doing is screwing up and confusing America’s foreign policy.
She’s all po’d that her visit was “revealed” by the WH. The American people are po’d with all the foreign [...]

It Taxes Go Up, It’s a Tax Increase

Why is that such a hard concept to understand. Only in the City of Spin (soon to become the State of Spin?), Washington, D.C. would inaction be used as a defense. This time its the Dems who want us to believe that since they have decided to take no action – they are not raising [...]

Please, Senator McCain

I’m still trying to stay out of the “race” as it is, because, I think its entirely too early to be engaging in Presidential politics. However, Senator McCain, please forgo your Presidential ambitions. Not for the good of the country or the good of politics, but rather for your own good.

Has VP Al Gore Achieved his Goals?

He has achieved idolatrous admiration akin to President Clinton. He is a star amongst throngs of people. He has arrived. Granted he’s still a goof amongst many, but very few of them work and live in Hollywood and the media.
Based upon achieving this notoriety and barring any drastic Dem political tipping point in the 2008 [...]

Smart Framers

The framers very specifically included Presidential power of legislation veto.  They were specific in indicating the conditions under which a veto can be overridden – a 2/3rds vote in the Congress.  Its the same 2/3rds that the framers also applied to State legislatures passing US Constitutional Amendments.
It would seem that the framers thought it was [...]

I Must Go On About It!

It is disgusting, but it is true.   Tropical Fish With Your Pork?   Mike Allen at politico.com talks about the top ten pork entries in the Afghanistan/Iraq Supplemental Appropriations Bill passed Friday in the US House.
It is bad enough that the Congressional leaders have to add the pork to an appropriations bill that was held out to [...]

Caveat Suffragator

Or……Voter Beware.  Beware of using subprime mortgages, but be very aware of the lack of foresight of our Congress.  Congress has only just now figured out that these type of loans are risky.  And in reaction, I suppose, they are going to make them illegal or put onerous regulations on them.
This despite all the warnings [...]

D.C. Congresssional Representation

Rather than giving a voting Congressperson to the residents of D.C., why not just redraw the lines for the District to exclude residents.  Let them become Maryland citizens and let the regular Constitutional process provide congressional representation to the new citizens of Maryland.  I suspect this is either a case of “wanting their cake and [...]

Congress Supports the Troops?

To get a majority of Dems in the House to vote to support funding for US troops in the field $25B of pork was added to an DOD supplemental appropriations bill.  President Bush requested a $95B supplemental to support the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Dems boosted it up to $120B by adding things having [...]

Superheated Ice – The Real Problem and Solution to Polar Bear Extinction

This just in…….Ice created in nanoseconds by Sandia’s Z machine
It appears that the global cooling theorist were right.  The problem is that superheated ice in the Arctic is melting, because its being cooled.  So the solution would be to resuperheat the Arctic ice cap.
Everyone should be burning the midnight oil.  Even this might not be [...]
