Me: Okay.
Census Worker: How many people live here?
Me: Four
Census Worker: Is there [...]

November Is Shaping Up 05.19.10
I was very pleased to see in the news that some career politicians careers have come to an abrupt end. Hopefully the momentum of voting out incumbents stays strong throughout the November midterm elections.
In quick succession Tuesday night, the jittery inhabitants of Washington’s marble halls found three more reasons to worry about their staying power. [...]

Dear Uncle Sam 04.15.10
I’ve enclosed a check for the remainder of taxes that I owe you. Please use this money as best you can to ensure that our current wars are continued indefinitely, you continue your expansion and takeover of our medical system and whatever other private sectors you deem necessary, and you continue to pay our legislatures [...]

Payback In November 03.22.10
Passage of the health care bill last night was completely ridiculous. The bill is immoral and unconstitutional, as well as the way it was passed. Not to even mention the costs of such a plan. Deals were made, and dollars put in people’s pockets, in order to ensure that they voted ‘yes’ for this heap [...]

Why Tax The Rich More? 11.17.09
When it comes to paying for a health care overhaul, Americans see just one way to go: Tax the rich.
The House bill would impose a 5.4 percent income tax surcharge on individuals making more than $500,000 a year and households making more than $1 million. Source
Maybe I’m in the minority here, and in no way [...]

Indicator Of 2010 Elections? 11.04.09
No matter which side of the isle you are on, it’s easy to see that there are crooked politicians in both parties. They both have politicians that serve special interests, rather than who they are supposed to be serving, us. Both parties are to blame for the messes we are in today. I have a [...]

8th Anniversary – 9/11 09.11.09
I can only imagine what this day is like for those who lost loved ones on 9/11. I missed watching Obama’s first anniversary as President today, but sadly the only reminder of what today was that I experienced were the scores of flags that Dalton had standing on the lawn of the courthouse, and my [...]

Rising Unemployment Concern 07.02.09
It’s hard not to be concerned with seeing the unemployment rate rise month after month. Just today the numbers were released bringing the national percentage up to 9.5%, a 26 year high. You hear all of these predictions like, “expecting to only see another 1 million jobs lost for the rest of the year” and [...]

Buy An American Car, Please 05.18.09
My Grandma’s car recently had a severe overheating problem that put it in the shop for the past few weeks. It’s back on the road now, but her concern now is that she’ll never really trust it again for any trip that is a decent distance away from home. Repairing it wasn’t the suggestion that [...]

Double Standard In Washington 03.30.09
I’ve been thinking all along that Washington is going about the “bailouts” of the banking industries and the auto industries completely unfair. Whether you are for or against the bailouts of either sector, I think that should be one thing you can agree with. Banks have received money numerous times, CEOs still intact, wasting millions [...]
