Census Data

Posted on February 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

How much is too much?
In view of the growing quantity of elaborate, and very personal, questions to be present on Census forms, here is yet another danger to answering all of those unnecessary questions.

Access to your bank accounts.

According to this article, could be more likely than you would ever know.
And all the more reason to simply answer the simple need of how many people live at your residence. And only that.

TARP Created a Looming Disaster

Posted on February 3, 2010 | Leave a comment

Per Big Government reporter Morgan Richmond.

Yesterday the Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) released their Quarterly Report to Congress for the period ending 12/31/2009.

The Big Government article is a MUST READ. If, that is, you really want to know where the blame lies.

UPDATEx1: Unbelievable

Posted on January 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

A two minute portrayal of how NOT to act Presidential.

In Baltimore, trying to tell the Republicans how NOT to be partisan.
(That’s a laugh.)

Barry, you never read that book – How To Make Friends and Influence People, now have you?

UPDATEx1: Well. So the POTUS admits that Congress isn’t quite helping him with his campaign promise on letting us keep our own health insurance plans. How about that? Gee. Do we feel any better?

Death Knell

Posted on January 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

The question is: for who?

Us? The Democrats? The Progressives? Our entire country??????

This. Crap. Has. To. Stop. (psst. That post was updated to reflect Sen. Kyl’s comments. Do I hear, “Danger! Danger!”?)

Oh. And this too! Enlarging a piggy bank and ASSUMING it automatically gives you something is nothing to be proud of.

Stop pussyfooting around, Congress. We are watching you even if you think we are not.
Why do you insist upon making us even more mad than we are RIGHT NOW?
You think we won’t remember this come November????

Fat chance of that.

Bad Mental Image

Pole vault? Nancy Pelosi?

Folks, this seems to me to be an attempt to keep us on our toes.
Hoping (they are, I think) to keep us off-balance.

Not. Going. To. Happen.
