#OccupyWallStreet: Where I Regret I Can Not Afford A Gun
Ever since I turned 18, I have always thought to myself that the one thing I would do is to own a gun and, of course, get a carry/conceal permit. However either money or time has been an issue.

I Think S&P Was Too Kind
I still don’t have a computer, so this won’t be as indept as it should be. Last night, Standard & Poor’s lowered the US Government’s credit rating from AAA to AA+.

Who Here Regrets Endorsing Rick Scott?
NOT ME, I DIDN’T SUPPORT HIM!!! [N]o one has yet been able to answer WHY we should choose Rick Scott over Bill McCollum. Just because Rick Scott has never been in elected office, does not make him more of a good guy over McCollum. I mean, just look at Jesse Ventura’s tenure as Governor of Minnesota. The people hated him when he left office and | Read More »
A Progressive’s Austerity Plan: More Spending And Taxes!!!!
Austerity is a government policy of deficit-cutting; lower spending and a reduction in the amount of benefits and/or public services provided, while sometimes coupled with increases in taxes (but not necessary).

(LIVEBLOGGING) No Joke: House GOP To Vote On “Deem And Pass” Budget
Holy Hell!! The GOP has brought up HR 1 with a little alteration: If the Senate doesn’t pass this, it becomes law anyway. Turn it to C-SPAN to check out the debate. In other words: A Deem And Pass Budget I’m conflicted, I don’t know whether to support this or not right now. However this is bold move to be sure.
Converting To Scientology
This has been a long time coming actually, but today I am announcing I am converting to Scientology. I had my first audit six months ago and it was a real eye-opener. It was free deal and I didn’t have to pay for it. I just had my last one yesterday and it has confirmed that this thing is real. My Auditor says that in | Read More »

New Donald “Birther” Trump Has Lost Me
*sigh* Come, I will hide nothing from you. I was snooker into this whole “Birther” movement for all of two minutes. Then I remember that even if you were born outside the US, if one or more of your parents was a US Citizen and under the right conditions, then you are yourself a US Citizen.
Robert Gates: Yemen Government Collapse A Big Deal
Well hell, I could have told you that. I will dispute his claim later in this article, but clearly we need to have Defense Secretary Robert Gates make the headline that a fall in Yemen is a big f’n deal: Secretary of Defense Robert Gates expressed worry in an interview on “This Week” about Yemen, after that middle eastern country’s long-time President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, | Read More »

Short Chat With Rep. Richard Nugent (R-FL-05)
Promoted from diaries. – Moe Lane Full disclosure. I did not support Richard Nugent during the primary of 2010. I spoke out against him and supported Jason Sager. However he won. The voters spoke.
