Obama Clock

Posted on August 31, 2011 | 1 comment

As Hot Air puts it, “Sick of Obama? There’s an app for that.”

On the iPhone, but not on my Android cell.

C’mon, folks, we need this ported over to the Motorola Atrix and others!

The Great One Asks A Question

Posted on August 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

Radio host Mark Levin, speaking on issues as: Backdoor amnesty, DOMA, S&P investigation by Justice, Dept. of HHS supporting Obamacare, EPA and cap and trade.

“Is that the act of a dictator?”

Audeo at HotAirPundit.

I would say the answer is – Yes.

Under Serious Postal Stress

Posted on August 11, 2011 | Leave a comment

That’s USPS, for short.

Speaking of short, the US Post Office is now considering having Congress to let them restructure, which, if approved, would eliminate contract provisions that prevent layoffs and quit the federal employee health and retirement programs. This could have serious ramifications for workers across the government and throughout the labor movement. This opens the door for the USPS to cut around twenty percent of its worrkforce, in an effort to deal with its financial hardships. (Hhhmm, sounds like Wisconsin.)

(Wasn’t there rumblings of shortening mail deliveries to just Monday through Friday awhile back? What happened with that? Not a big enough change?)

The unoffical creed – “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” – that people think is official, it’s not.
Will likely change as well I would think.

Anybody want to suggest a new one??

Tells It Like It Is

Posted on August 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

Can’t say that I disagree with Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online. Not at all.
I notice what the media does not, also. That they are terribly one-sided.
Hardly what I would call profesionally objective journalists interested in truth and disseminating it for us all to acknowledge it, learn and make things better.
Also, they are not, dare I say – “fair and balanced.”

I have to admit, I think Jonah’s response is the same as mine.
Too bad. But it is the price paid for expanding one’s vision beyond what it used to be.

My favorite website, Don Surber, has more on this. Involves Time Magazine, too.

Congress Writes the Laws

Posted on July 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

Apparently, that’s what Boehner told the POTUS.

“As I read the Constitution, the Congress writes the laws and you get to decide what you want to sign,” Boehner said, recounting what he told the president, according to two sources.

Federal Spending in Perspective by Veronique de Rugy

She is a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Her primary research interests include the federal budget, homeland security, taxation, tax competition, and financial privacy issues.

Interest doubles, entitlements and health rises 50%, defense decreases a little, as does the rest of government spending.

Now, tell me,where do we focus on fixing this problem? As if I didn’t already know.

FDA Bans Asthma Medication

Posted on July 24, 2011 | 2 comments

Why?

The only over-the-counter asthma inhaler sold in the United States will no longer be available next year as part of an international agreement to stop the use of substances that damage the environment.

Primatene Mist (epinephrine) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary relief of occasional symptoms of mild asthma. FDA urges those who use Primatene Mist to see a health care professional soon to switch to another asthma medicine.

Primatene Mist inhalers are being discontinued because they use chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a propellant (spray) to move the medicine out of the inhaler so patients can breathe the medicine into their lungs.

From the Big Government article:
CFCs from inhalers were a trivial contributor and should have been permanently exempted from these regimes until something just as good and just as affordable came along. They weren’t, and it hasn’t.
