It’s Playoff Time.
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | January 16th at 04:25 PM |
I’m not a sportswriter… and it’s a far cry from politics to the gridiron… but yesterday witnessed the re-emergence of one of the truly preeminent football franchises in the history of the sport. The San Francisco 49ers, Alex Smith and their no-nonsense head coach Jim Harbaugh, pulled off what may be the most remarkable finish to win a division playoff game in recent memory… possibly | Read More »
California, You’d Better Wake Up… Soon!
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | October 12th at 02:40 PM |
So while you were California dreaming… that’s if you still had a California job, that’s if your company hasn’t had to pull up stakes and head for business-friendly territory out of the increasingly repressive governance of (Red) Jerry Brown and his equally (red) state legislature, better known, perhaps, as Ali Brownee and the sixty-seven banditos… the 43 Republicans in the legislature, for the most part, | Read More »
Jerry Brown… Such A Clown, That Jerry Brown.
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | August 28th at 07:22 AM |
Another week of long days and longer nights. That’s okay by me, beats the hell out of not working. Makes it a little hard to write, though. First and foremost, our wishes and prayers go out to the folks on the east coast who find themselves in the path of Hurricane Irene. For heaven’s sake, if you’re in a position to get out, leave. I | Read More »
California Dreaming.
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | July 2nd at 12:43 PM |
For those of you who are fortunate enough to live in a state wherein sanity yet abides, count your blessings. The downward spiral of California predates this and several other recessionary periods. It goes all the way back to our present Governor Moonbeam’s father, the late Governor Edmund G.’Pat’ Brown… liberal Democrat, of course. The state’s sob sisters managed to virtually empty the state’s mental | Read More »
Our Future Depends On Our Energy.
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | March 11th at 05:10 AM |
The leftists have worked long and diligently to bring themselves, and us, to where we stand today in this country with regard to our national energy picture. I’ve been out of the news cycle for three days now, and in the new media that’s several lifetimes. That includes Scott Walker’s stunning victory in Wisconsin, which has the public sector unions and the Democrats in the | Read More »
Go, Scott! Go!!
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | February 22nd at 02:33 PM |
It was inevitable, this clash between those who seek and feel as though a sinecured, privileged entitlement is a birthright of some sort, and those who have to pay for it. It’s a pretty up and down argument. At least, you would think so. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker may turn out to be the left’s greatest nightmare. Governor Scott Walker Wisconsin’s governor and state legislature | Read More »
Why Would California Re-Elect Jerry Brown?
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | February 6th at 11:01 AM |
Many’s the time I asked that of myself during his first two terms. We’re still living under the aftermath of goofy policies set in place by our boy Jerry. Aside from an early alliance with the public service unions and their constant demands for more for less, our then-Governor Brown cozied up to the environmentalists and curtailed water storage and dam building, guaranteeing the almost | Read More »
Ballots, Ballots And More Ballots.
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | November 6th at 02:45 PM |
The reports continue to come in from around the country. From California to Connecticut, ballots are being ‘found’. On the left coast, two million votes have yet to be counted. Small wonder with strong rumors (as yet unconfirmed) of SEIU goons working the election count, along with at least one report of electronic machine tampering and another story of a precinct in Danville Ca., where | Read More »
Meg, Use The Force.
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | November 1st at 01:28 PM |
Methinks the lady may be listening to her ‘political advisers’ and not the little voice within… the same skills she used in building eBay to the internet star that it is. Californians understood and agreed when she told us how important small business and creative start-ups are to the growth of the state and the nation, and how runaway taxation and regulation is forcing businesses | Read More »
Mea Culpa (Sort Of).
By: Skip MacLure (Diary) | October 21st at 05:25 AM |
My article of Monday the 18th of October created a bit of a tempest. I’ve never had an article pulled on a Conservative site before. I’ve been tossed off of a couple of hard lefty sites, but that’s usually just funny. I used to do a daily column on a really hard lefty site… I was astounded that they would publish my Conservative views. We | Read More »
