29 Dec 2009Yes its true. It takes an act of congress to get the ad guys play nice with the consumer. Pretty freaking sad if you ask me, but I won’t complain if it passes.

Health Care
In: In the news|Politics|Rants
15 Dec 2009Yes, I’m going there. But not for the reasons that you might expect. I’m not going to make this a right vs left, red vs blue, or bears vs packers issue. I’m going about this from a bit of experience in the not so distant past. My wife and I had been traveling in another [...]

ClimateGate
In: In the news|Politics|Rants
3 Dec 2009For some reason, the Climate Gate articles have not made enough of a splash in the main stream media. I’m sure that the conspiracy theorist will have a reason why this is happening. I just don’t think that the story has gotten enough attention yet. So…here is a pretty good article on what has happened: [...]

7 Sep 2009Have we forgotten already who Barack Obama is? It seems that we have. Apparently President Obama is giving a speech tomorrow to kids across the country in K-12 schools. He’s talking about responsibility, hard work and commitment. You know, the values that our country holds near and dear to our hearts. Core values that each [...]

Budget Cuts
In: Politics
30 Apr 2009Big numbers are hard to visualize and put into context. I think that this video does a nice job of explaining the 100 million that the Obama administration wants to cut. I’ll give them credit, you have to start somewhere, but there is a LOT more that can get cut. Keep going guys!

Some people need a beating…
In: Politics
18 Apr 2009OK, I get people wanting to stand up for their rights, but from the very beginning, this guy was an arrogant asshole. He has no respect for authority. He was abusive and non cooperative when asked simple questions. He deserved to be detained. Now, the person stating he has no rights at a checkpoint is [...]

Fairness Doctrine
8 Feb 2009People like this really scare me: Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) told nationally syndicated talk host Bill Press this morning that the recent flips of liberal Talk stations in several markets were a “disservice to the public.” Stabenow said that, in the day of the Fairness Doctrine, “you had to have balance,” and continued, “I think [...]

Keys to the castle
In: Politics
22 Nov 2008The elections are finally over and we’re finally free from political ads, mailings and phone calls. Obama is headed to the White House and the Democrats have even more control over the House and Senate. But, there’s always a catch. And here it is Democrats. If you have learned anything from the Republicans over the [...]
