For those of you who admire this type of entrepreneurial spirit, check out his website -- it's a riot! I would rather have seen Tobias Jones elected President; he knows a thing or two about business.

There is a bill in the House of Representatives that, if passed, would mandate a 72-hour period for everyone (citizens and representatives) to read a bill before it can be voted on in Congress. Gee, what a FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC idea! The "Read the Bill" bill is HR 554 . Visit the Sunlight Foundation's ReadTheBill.org website. Read the bill and sign the petition to support it. Let's put a little sanity back into the process of government, again, shall we?

I apologize for being unable to post the live feed to ConservaChick for the "Honor ther Service" troopathon on Thursday. I hope you all checked in on their live feed without waiting for me. I just checked in on the Move America Forward website and got the final number. The Troopathon raised a total of $603,049.14 ! While it's a darned shame that Breitbart got to keep his beautiful curly locks because the million dollar mark wasn't reached, that is a fantastic amount of money for care packages for our troops!! Way to go, MAF! Way to rally behind our troops, America!

I did not post about the earmark Obama requested when it was written about in National Review last year -- the information was interesting and noteworthy but was filed away for future reference. Heck, I disengaged from the campaign after John McCain won the nomination anyway. At that point the general election became "six of one, half-dozen of the other" (to borrow a southern expression) anyway. ...I digress... as usual. The point is that the e-mail quoted below is making the rounds online and the information in it is fairly accurate. There are some facts that can be disputed (see this response on FactCheck.org ) but the gist of the email is dead on. At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24th, 2009, was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review’s "The Week" column. Here it is, word for word, as it appeared: 'Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chic...

Believe me, I don't want to belittle the protesters in Iran or intimate, in any way, that they are not risking their lives for the opportunity to influence their government; however, I feel the need to post an opinion on one small technicality that has been glaringly overlooked by the media in their coverage of the protests in Iran. The elections in Iran are not, in any real sense of the word, democratic. Every candidate on the ballot has been "100% Mullah-approved." Whether it is Mousavi or Ahmedinijad, the candidate has been appointed to run for election. No primaries were run to select these candidates. The general election in Iran simply serves to guarantee that the theocratic rulers of Iran have one of their hand-picked leaders elected with a show of "democracy" for the world press. I hate to rain on this parade but the Conservative press seeking to fault Obama for not speaking out against the rigged election is just a tad off kilter this time. Firstly, it...

We will see if A...

This parody has been around for a year or more but it is a classic. Recent events just seemed to beg for this posting. Enjoy!

A few days ago, Glenn Beck read a letter on his show that was written by a woman in Arizona. Her letter was an open letter to our nation's leadership and, as far as I'm concerned, she speaks for me too! Read the letter below. If you agree, you can sign the petition that was created based on this letter. My name is on that petition already. "I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight fo...

... you can count on the political firing squad to commence. Gerald Walpin is a non-partisan patriot whose firing has finally brought to light (for the already enlightened, unfortunately) the political cronyism and corrupt nature of the Supreme Leader and his council of thugs. Walpin has been slandered by them with a blatant lie and I hope to hell he continues to speak out about what happened! When George W. Bush fired numerous US Attorneys, he had every right to do so as Attorneys General serve solely at the pleasure of the President. The press and the Dems tried to make it into some sort of scandal even though President Bush's actions were perfectly legal. Emperor Obama threatens and then fires a hard working, non-partisan Inspector General, who does NOT serve soley at the pleasure of the President, for investigating one of Obama's buddies and contributors and there's no press about it but on Fox? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised but it still amazes me what this thu...

Did I miss it when the State-controlled media reported that ethics charges against Sarah Palin had been dismissed ? May 8, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin has been cleared of accusations that she violated the state ethics act in forming a political action committee and in traveling to Indiana near the end of the legislative session to make a speech to a right-to-life group. [...] It's been over a month since this was posted to the Governor's website and I don't recall seeing a single piece about it. If Glenn Beck hadn't mentioned it on his show tonight I would never have heard one word about it. Congratulations, Governor Palin!

Impressive! TOTUS (Teleprompter of The United States) has made himself known to the State-controlled media. Finally! I thought they'd NEVER notice!!

All the best proles are wearing these. Better get yours before the Ministry of Enterprise asks to see your "business plan!"

You know times are tough when even the animals need a bit of an escape! (Hi, I'm Dumbo and I'm an Marula holic...)

[Thanks for sharing these, Robin -- they're a freakin' riot!!]

The following letter is circulating via email right now. It is a thoughtful and well stated rebuttal to the past six months of diversions orchestrated by the Obama administration. While the true author of this letter is actually NOT the teacher whose name appears at the end of it, whoever wrote it did a beautiful job and it is certainly worth sharing. April 17, 2009 The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington , DC 20500 Mr. Obama: I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally. You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States . You are not responsible to the people of any other country on earth. I personally resent that you ...

Just forwarded to me via email today: Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. Recovery is when Obama loses his. [Thanks for the chuckle, Mom!]

While the mainstream media has been busy with its Obamapalooza the past six months, it's easy to let the fact that our troops and those from our allies are still fighting a war against Islamofascists on two fronts.  Yeah, the economy sucks... Yeah, Obama is the Great Orator/Apologizer/Protector... Whatever. As we near Independence Day, it's a great time to stop the Emperor's Parade to remember those who are fighting on our behalf in the extremes of Middle East terrain and temperatures. Fortunately for we lazy Americans, it doesn't take much time or effort to show our support thanks to Move America Forward and their "Honor Their Service" program. The second annual  Troopathon  will begin on June 25th.  Last year they raised $1.5 million in one evening in their first webcast telethon. That money paid for items like coffee, cookies, beef jerky, Gatorade, candy, hot chocolate, jelly beans and personal comfort items like lip balm, wet wipes, and personal sized fans...
