Conservatives need a vision that includes the emotionally visual

    Since the site will prob. announce I am not allowed to post and will drop my name, I am renny, and somehow cons. and Reps. have to find a way to make serious matters like debt and tax rates and unemploymnet impact visually and emotionally. FOX says 15% of so-called undecideds cast their vote for zero because they saw him on the beach (really a  | Read More »

    How about thinking about Obama as a professor of deconstruction or literary “theory”

    If you have ever been slightly intrigued about Obama’s constant use of “transformative,” then you might have considered that along with “transgressive” and “hegemony,” “transformative” is one of the are three very common words in the now somewhat passe literary criticism called deconstruction or just “theory.” This academic discipline was all the rage in the top-flight colleges and universities among the baby boomers and probably | Read More »

    As unemployment rises, the Dept of Labor plans all out asault on business in general

    Today all the headlines are unemployment is more closely approaching 10 percent. My state and county are already there and could go beyond. Meanwhile, in the midst of Great Depression Redux, the Wall Street Journal reports that the vaunted Dept of Labor plans attacking business on two fronts, and sometimes at once: sending in OSHA to pick around the edges of safety and make sure | Read More »

    Be Sure Your Vote Cast is Really Your Own Vote

    I don’t know if true, but last week some people alleged in NV that when they went to place early votes, their voting machines were already set for Reid and the Dem. ticket. Today, in an email from my tea party coordinator, I received a forwarded message that someone in NJ had also been faced with an electronic voting machine already set for the Dem. | Read More »

    Think your credit card debt is atrocious? Just look at the fed. gov’t's

    Think your credit card debt is a problem? The federal government is on course to paying half your taxes into debt service by 2020, according to the Heritage Foundation. Currently, debt service is $435,000,000,000 annually (2009), or nearly a billion a day. My granddaughter, born July 21, inherited a debt per capital of $42,000 just after she drew her first breath, and her portion will | Read More »

    Race to the Top Education Awards Favor Dem. Electoral States–Surprise!

    The Department of Education announced the second-round winners of the Race to the Top state awards of approximately $400 million (of money we don’t have), and they turn out to be Dem. 7-4, based on electoral college votes in 2008. NJ lost by 3 points that were a clerical error that the Chris Christie administration thought it had corrected two weeks ago by oral communication, | Read More »

    The Gulf of Mexico has 2,430,000 cubic kilometers of water and the leak was 5,500,000 barrels

    So, for dispersion and dilution, you do the math. I think the leak, enormous as it has been (Santa Barbara’s spill that launched our anti-energy program in the US in 1969 was 3,000,000 barrels–but it  was just off shore) is probably analogous to a can of beer in the Great Lakes. No matter. The media is on the situation like glue on false eyelashes, and | Read More »

    Now, iman wants to talk to Paterson about moving mosque?

    Drudge lists controversial mosque reps may be interested in talking up Gov. Paterson’s offer of state property (sticky issue there, too), but could break standoff between critics and Cordoba House intensity. I don’t know if any one else has noticed, one of the better results of the downtown NYC mosque stories is that suddenly CBS and Drudge itself and other media are actually showing pix | Read More »

    AZ Sen. Russell Pearce on his state’s immigration law and the rest of us

    Although Federal Judge Bolton issued an injuction against the full implementation of AZ SB 1070, the famous state immigration law, parts of the law continue intact, and as of July 29, these parts will be in force (according to Human Events): no more sanctuary cities–those polities (I believe Phoenix is one) will no longer be able to ignore immigration law or give criminals without legal | Read More »
