This is an interesting commentary which I believe you will be interested in reading.

If there is anything more bizarre than the decision to award President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, it was his administration’s decision to wage war on Fox News.
The Obama administration has been warning cable networks not to follow up on Fox News stories, which have included an exposé of ACORN and the radical backgrounds of some Obama appointees, and even attempted…

The March Report posted the following on its informative e-mails:
QUOTE
The White House sent out an alert today to the press pool that "Pay Czar" Kenneth Feinberg would be doing a press availability -- a round robin with the major news networks, in which Fox is customarily included. The administration specified that everyone was invited except Fox News. The press pool, acting in the interest of its members, admirably stood up to the White House bullying. All the other…

I've not been blogging much lately as we're packing to move to Florida, but I just had to post this which was found on The Heritage Foundation Website.
QUOTE
Yesterday the United States Department of the Treasury Special Master of Compensation Kenneth Feinberg announced a wage control scheme for the 175 executives of the seven companies that have received the most funds from the taxpayer funded Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). At first the Obama administration denied…

Here's a newsflash from Newsmax.com which I thought you all would find somewhat amusing.
As this gets around, will the shareholders in G.E. (owns NBC), Westinghouse, Disney (own CBS) and the other television channel owners be upset that their companies are not in the business of making money? LOL There may well be a shareholder revolt!

Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: "In the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I've read the treaty. I've seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do…

Went to Peter's 50th high school reunion Saturday, 10/17, and met a number of his former colleagues at school, one of whom is from California. We started discussing the current state of events in this country and found that we are like-minded conservatives who are just sick about what's happening. It was amazing to me (although it shouldn't have been, really) and very heart-warming at the same time. This fellow had some interesting things to say about California's governor, the Terminator, and…

The New York Post had two articles of interest this morning:
New York State received roughly $500 million in stimulus money, and it actually managed to create 54 new jobs for all this money. With an ROI like that, we're all sure to be bankrupt in a few years. Naturally, there are some explanations given: (1) subcontractors got business from this; (2) companies are holding the money in their coffers (earning likely the grand sum of interest banks are now paying); (3) some money found…

I found this on Newsmax which might be of interest. The headline read: Global Warming or Global Governance.
QUOTE
This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought…

This was found on a site, National Right to Work, which e-mails me various and sundry items. You may all find this to be of interest. It harkens back to the intimidation of ACORN, Jessee Jackson, Al Sharpton, and community organizers and unions in general.
It is interesting, isn't it, that the SEIU is so desperate? They spent MILLIONS getting "The One" elected and now they're starved for member-paying dues....

Read this short "blurb" in the New York Post today and thought I'd share it:
QUOTE
The Service Employees International Union sent a letter to the Obama administration's pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, calling Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis "one of the chief architects" of the economic crisis and saying he should not receive any retirement or severance package until the bank stops foreclosures and increases lending.

The following is an excerpt from TownHall.com which puts into perfect perspective what our debt is currently looking like, and how it may grow if we do not persevere in stopping the spending the federal government wants to do.

This week, the United States’ national debt is expected to reach a record-breaking $12 trillion. And yesterday, the residents of Washington, DC were reminded of how much we owe, as Uncle Sam descended on the nation’s capital to beg for help…

Perhaps the grab for power by the federal government will come to an end soon with 38 states introducing resolutions reaffirming their 10th Amendment rights. Will all follow the lead of these 38?

In the event some of you do not know about congress.org, this is an important Web site which delineates certain bills currently before Congress. Each of us can contact our respective Senators vis-a-vis which bills we agree with or, more importantly, disagree with. Right now there is a bill before Congress which would repeal retroactive immunity for the telecommunications industry vis-a-vis allowing the authorities to tap phone lines in order to root out terrorists.
If this repeal is…

This is a very interesting post from Act for America which also incorporates Ralph Peters' recent article in The New York Post.

When media and political “talking heads” contended there was no “connection” between the recent spate of foiled terrorist plots on American soil, we were witnessing an absence of strategic thinking.
They simply weren’t analyzing the ideological force of jihadist Islam that IS the connection between the terrorist…

The Media Research Center has put out a number of "Notable Quotables" regarding the push for the Chicago Olympics bid. To read the sycophants' statements is quite amusing and rather amazing to be sure.
Were they taking bets on the Obama success to drag the IOC to Chicago, kicking and screaming all the way? LOL

Glenn Beck addressed this issue last night (October 1st) quite well, and it certainly bears repeating.
The Democrats have NEVER been friends to the blacks in this country. With the beginning of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society," a new form of enslavement was born with folks being able to obtain social benefits from the government, and thus a new generation of slaves was born. These folks were ENCOURAGED not to work (why work when you can live on the subsistence the government…

I ran across that quoted below from The Patriot Post Website which I thought all of you would enjoy. It speaks to fiscal responsibility. This was a long article, and I've cut it down some, but you can visit the Website and read it in its entirety (in actuality, I took out only one paragraph!! LOL). Some of us remember Davey Crockett from our youth when television first came into being...but most of us have heard of him. Yet he was a man far, far beyond what we saw on…

Well, I suppose congratulations are to be given to the Congress as Ken Lewis departs from Bank of America. The bozos won and business will suffer. The Pay Czar is almost set to release his "findings" of what corporate pay should be to those firms which accepted TARP....another round of congratulations will be awarded after this comes out. Where will the Pay Czar stop? Like a roulette wheel, no one knows. Once again, folks who continue to work hard and have worked hard with some success will be…
