Welcome To The Party Republicans!
Care for some tea? There are several “Tea Parties” scheduled for tomorrow, and it looks like Republicans are teaming up with Libertarians/libertarians on this one to generate some real momentum. That’s great to see! And it’s pretty interesting. On Monday, Blue Collar Muse honored me by having me on his DontGo Show and one of the [...]
Irony–Labor Day Nixed By a Union
The blogosphere is abuzz about Tyson Chicken’s new contract with its labor union that eliminates Labor Day as a paid holiday and replaces it with a Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr for the plant in Shelbyville, TN. How ironic that a union eliminated a union holiday! On one hand, I have to cheer the fact that [...]
Stupor Tuesday
What a stinker. Lot’s of folks around the office are talking about the primaries today. It’s strange to me that so many people don’t pay attention until the day of. Anyway, here’s a quick roundup of what some of the blogs I frequent are saying this morning… Music City Bloggers is taking a poll. It [...]
It’s Not A National I.D.
It’s a Federal Driver’s License. You recognize the difference, right? No? The rationalization for this plan, of course, is the same as that for any authoritarian program…a centrally mandated, controlled, and issued driver’s license will make it more difficult for con artists, drug traffickers, illegal immigrants, or terrorists to gain access to identification that could [...]
Chavez Brokers Deal For Hostages
From the Christian Science Monitor, two higher priority hostages have been released, and others may be forthcoming. The article doesn’t say what Chavez offered to secure their release. Interesting. Show of hands–who here thinks Chavez promised FARC something juicy (hmm…what could a militant group want?) in return for making him look like a hero and [...]
Who Said It?
When the Founders drafted the Constitution, they had a clear understanding of tyranny. They also had a clear idea about how to prevent it from ever taking root in America. Their solution was to separate the government’s powers into three co-equal branches: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary. Each of these branches plays a [...]
Divided We Fail — Scary
I saw this commercial for dividedwefail.org twice last night, and I find it pretty disturbing. Now the AARP (it’s actually an ad by them promoting their agenda) is using kids to scare us with health care and social security. I’m sure the AARP’s big concern is kids. After all, there is nothing to be gained [...]
You Mighta Heard By Now, We’re Doin’ a Little Survey
There were some pretty interesting results from my last poll–at least I thought they were interesting. I asked readers to choose (one) between free markets, free religion, free speech, and free beer. With 50% of the vote, speech won pretty handily. I’d assume that the 29% who voted for beer were being funny. It’s easy [...]
Loving The New Smoking Ban
[sarcasm] Today is such a great day. This new smoking ban is absolutely amazing and has enriched my life in ways I never thought possible. Water tastes sweeter, the air smells cleaner, and my wallet is fat the sun is shining bright, but not so bright that it is causing unnatural warming–that’s coming from somewhere [...]
Ron Paul Hits Goal and Keeps Moving Forward
Ron Paul made is goal of raising $500,000 online before the end of the 3rd quarter very easily, and has now raised the bar to $1M before the end of September. $1M isn’t really that much in terms of presidential campaigns, but the fact that it is completely a grass roots effort is pretty amazing. [...]
