Use of Our Tax Money

Posted on April 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

In order to sell us on Obamacare. Up to $200M of our hard earned money.

How does that make you feel now? I need a drink. Oops, Maryland legislature just increased taxes on alcoholic drinks by 50%. Guess that’s not going to work.

America’s Energy Future

Posted on April 6, 2011 | 1 comment

Depends on to whom you speak, or listen to.

Like – our own U.S. President Barack Obama at a town hall about clean energy while visiting Gamesa Technology Corporation in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, today – April 6, 2011.

Oh – there’s more – at GatewayPundit. Jim Hoft points out that the POTUS was extolling this future energy source by the company (Spanish owned) that received a bailout.

Oh, also, don’t miss that last link (here it is also) that points out a report that windmills aren’t really that helpful. Useless, I think they said. But if you really want something to watch, try this – where a windmill destroys itself and adjacent property.

Not to mention the fact that when such machinery is installed in (much too) northern latitudes – ice formation can be extremely deadly, or just keep them from spinning. In any case, expensive windmills won’t offer much in the wrong place, if at all.

Hear that, Maryland Governor O’Malley? General Assembly?

Union Labelled by Maryland and California

Posted on April 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

Seems Governors in these states also ask/tell unions they have to pony up to help reduce the state deficits.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country in an equally blue state, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley faced 15,000 union workers massed a the state capitol in protest of O’Malley’s own budget proposals, which will make only a modest dent in the $19 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and $16 billion in retiree health care. O’Malley plaintive defense at the rally was notable as much for its chutzpah as for its liberal parochialism: “You will not find in Maryland the sort of Midwestern oppression that you find in Ohio and Wisconsin!”, he declared.

Imagine that.

UPDATEx4: So Much for Civility

Wisconsin Republicans Receive Death Threats – Justice Department Investigating

Sigh.

Let’s hope the DOJ does some good here.

The Professor has a most cogent comment concerning Madison’s local police credibility.

UPDATE: Follow the money.

UPDATEx2: This Hot Air article has several updates since the passage of the bill.

And a death threat is also being slipped under Glenn Grothman’s office door.

And maybe, just maybe, some sanity will come from all this. As The Professor so calmly explains it. Let’s hope he’s right.

UPDATEx3: What a load of crapola, from the White House.

UPDATEx4: Bill signed morning of March 11, 2011.

A Disappointment of Representation

Posted on December 14, 2010 | Leave a comment

Can’t say I am thrilled about Rep. Steny Hoyer winning re-election.
Now, even moreso after reading this –

Hoyer: Opponents’ Tactics ‘Poisonous to Our Future’

Video at the link.

At least he’s up for re-election again in two years …….

It says: Jesus Is Coming May 21, 2011.

Apparently there is one here in Maryland (somewhere) and more are going up throughout the country.

By the Way – An Endorsement

Posted on November 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

I haven’t done this on my blog here, or anywhere else for that matter, but before I go to saw some ZZZZZs …..

I would like to recommend that anyone who reads this and hasn’t voted yet, please consider voting for William Campbell.

He is running for State Comptroller against Franchot.

Bill is a fine Republican and former Chief Financial Officer.

I have come to know him, a bit, while on the campaign trail (up to the Primary, September 16th).

He’s a good man. We can look forward to good, honest work and representation from him.

Best of Luck, Bill.

UPDATE: Yes You Heard Right

Posted on October 18, 2010 | 2 comments

Mr. Kane, yup – I heard it, also.

Governor O’Malley did refer to illegal immigrants aliens as “new Americans”.
And Former Governor Ehrlich was quite correct in pouncing on that comment.
(For those that haven’t heard it, watch it here.)

How about that. According to our state governor, nothing further has to be done because he just elevated illegal aliens to residents.

Funny. I thought the legislature was supposed to have the job of passing legislation and the governor was to sign them into law. So what’s the Bill/House numbers, Gov. O’Malley?

I want to see these documents.
