Stick a fork in her

The final nail in the Coakley coffin. In a recent radio interview, Martha Coakley, who wants to be Senator from Massachusetts, called Curt Schilling “a Yankee fan”. Curt Schilling?? The Hall of Fame pitcher who beat the Yankees in the playoffs with his bloody sock and brought the first World [...]

Have we gone mad??

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the EPA (Obama administration) is going to classify Carbon Dioxide as a dangerous pollutant next week so that it can be regulated even without Congress passing any climate change legislation. This is the same Carbon Dioxide that we exhale when we breathe. This is the same [...]

Congress out of touch again

With the nation in an economic crisis, Barack Obama is leading in the polls.  I do [...]

80,000 people protested in Seoul, South Korea over the lifting of the U.S. beef ban. There has been an hysterical and irrational fear of mad cow disease.
According to the CDC, there have only been 3 cases of mad cow ever in the United States and none since early 2006. From what I can tell, not [...]

Who votes for these people??

I just don’t get it. How do the Barbara Boxers of the world get elected and then continually re-elected? In defense of the global warming cap and trade bill which will cost taxpayers $6 TRILLION, she said,
Why do this [the Lieberman-Warner bill] now? We’re in a recession. Precisely because we’re in a [...]
