Six Figure Sarah? You Betcha!

Former Alaskan Governor and last year’s Republican candidate for Vice President,Sarah Palin, is not slipping quietly away as some would have hoped.

This week Palin will consider accepting and rejecting well over the 1,000 invitations she has received for speeches and political appearances both paid and unpaid since she left office in July this year. In fact it was reported in the Atlantic this morning; Palin will be traveling to Hong Kong for her… Continue

A Penny

The other day I was asked “Why is it you put your two cents in but it’s only a penny for your thoughts?

What happened to the other penny?

Well I figured it out!

Big government figured out how to tax your thoughts to try and cover this huge deficit by B.O..

Barackricy at its best!

Here is HR3200

Here is HR3200 -- all 1017 pages thereof. I have started to read it. I doubt I shall finish it. But as I do, I select out those parts that I believe need to be changed, corrected, amended, or eliminated. I quote them and respectfully submit them to our current senators asking that they take appropriate action. It won’t make a difference. It’s probably a foolish thing I do. But it makes me feel good and it might drive their staff members mad -- or at least angry with me and maybe they‘ll make a… Continue

The true legacy

Ted Kennedy, the Legacy!

I say let's stick to the facts speak and get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph… Continue

influence-peddling

Ahh yes let's go after the Republicans for influence-peddling. I'm sure that no one has an agenda for helping Democrats take over the State's House of Delegates would they? However, since we are talking about influence-peddling at this level, let's discus and investigate 95th District House of Delegates Mamye BeCote and 2nd District State Senator Mamie Locke, both professors at Hampton University. They both have pushed and voted on legislation that benefits their university employer. Not only… Continue

Stand by for the Senator Edward M. Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill 2009

Will there be a groundswell of support and a change of tone on health care reform now that the lion of the Senate, Teddy Kennedy, has passed away?

There is, indeed, the potential for that as this morning’s television shows.

When Kennedy endorsed Obama for the Presidency last year, the Illinois senator was told health care needed to be tackled first and to all accounts Obama made that promise.

The specter of Kennedy will loom large as this debate continues to… Continue

Sen. Ken Cuccinelli - not quite yet a household name

The majority of voters in the Commonwealth of Virginia have probably never heard of Ken Cuccinelli, let alone pronounce his last name. He plans to change that.

My letter to Senator Webb

Senator Jim Webb

248 Russell Senate Office Building

Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Webb,

As a father, grandfather, citizen and taxpayer, I am ardently opposed to any support of the American’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, HR 3200, commonly called the Healthcare Reform Bill, in its original or any revised form.

The free market should be left to determine the cost of health care. Intervention by the Federal government will create a system… Continue
