Hillary having a cow

FRIDAY 2-29-08…Hillary Clinton is “having a cow” over some political mailers sent out by the Barack Obama campaign. Those mailers criticize her universal health care plan, which is pretty strange since Hillary’s camp has repeatedly criticized Obama’s health care mailings. I guess it’s okay for Hillary to do it, but not okay for Obama.
In the [...]

No donuts for you!

 
THURSDAY 2-28-08….I see where our state legislators are hard at work creating legislation to protect us…..from ourselves! One of ‘em is a holdover from last year that never got anywhere, but certainly could this year. It’s a bill that would require chain restaurants to post nutritional information on menus.

Hillary’s qualifications

TUESDAY 2-26-08…Over the next couple of weeks, we’re all going to start hearing about how “qualified” Hillary Clinton is to be the next Commander In Chief.

Nanny Government: coming to a legislature near you.

FRIDAY 2-22-08…California isn’t the only state where legislators create controversial pieces of legislation. I already told you about Mississippi and it’s bill to make it illegal for restaurants to serve fat people. Fortunately, that bill died by way of a pocket veto.

Hold on to your wallet! (if you can)

 
THURSDAY 2-21-08 So, our state legislature made the necessary budget cuts to prevent the state from running out of money before the fiscal year ends in June.

WEDNESDAY 2-20-08…One of the news items that moved over the wires reads this way: “Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is the leading component of greenhouse gases, which scientist say are playing a key role in warming the globe.” Another news item that appeared in the newspaper Investors Business Daily states “Not every scientist is [...]

Documents? We don’t need no stinkin documents!

TUESDAY 2-19-08…I remember asking the question a few years back…”why is it that a person identified in the media as a homeless person, is mysteriously identified as a transient if they’re caught committing a crime?” In other words, why does a homeless person begging for spare change on the street suddenly receive a change in [...]

Recess! Lets get outta Dodge!

MONDAY 2-18-08…There’s always been a question mark over this democrat-controlled Congress. The question being “are they really serious about being tough on terrorism?” Oh, they’ve said they are, but the democrats historical record of wanting to run up the white flag of surrender in Iraq, their calls to shut down Guantanamo and move all the [...]
