As Country Falls Apart The Loons Come Out

The Dixie Chicks are quiet. Must be in rehab. I'm ashamed that they are from the United States of America.

Margaritaville: Jimmy Buffett Blames Bush for Spill...

ALEX JONES: As United States Collapses, Media Worship LeBron James...

Dem Lame Duck Strategy: Union 'card-check,' cap and trade, and so much more...

OBAMA: Israelis suspicious because 'my middle name is Hussein'...

RACE CASE: HOLDER TO REVIEW OAKLAND SHOOTING

Want A Job? Democrats Need People To Explain Their Unemployment.

M.E.E.T. M.E. A.T. T.H.E. S.T.A.R.B.U.C.K.S

Rich Galen mulls spying.

As several of them were arrested right here in Alexandria, Virginia, I could have been their control officer. I could have used secret writing techniques to pass them confidential notes like:

M.E.E.T. M.E. A.T. T.H.E. S.T.A.R.B.U.C.K.S

Then, I could attend the meeting without being detected because people would think I was stopping in at the Starbucks as I do every day. Hiding in plain sight. That's my recognized spy talent.
 
Read the rest, Rich is smart and funny.

The Hell With Equality?

Here in Ohio as well as other states there are candidates who want to roll back the gains in equality we as a state and a nation have made. Their goal is to split people off, treat them unfairly and ridicule them if they protest. We have seen this before, groups that belittle and punish others through exploitation for their own advantage.

If Ted Strickland won't lead this state then I will. I call for restoring the top income-tax rate on taxpayers who make over $200,000 per year. - Dennis Spisak, Green Party candidate for Ohio Governor

If these candidates had any guts they'd step up and say for the good of all, all must pay more, even that majority that pays no income tax at all. It is shallow to not see this. Obama does and he's raising taxes on all, everyone, people. The fight for equality never ends.

3 C Train Or The Big Green Drain

Train, Spain and drain all have one thing in common, they make things go broke.

Why Cities Are Broke or, There is Something Tragic About a Train...

... or a light rail system or a streetcar boondoggle that just makes people (well, pols and their civilian enablers) wet their pants over the prospect of tossing 19th-century technology and 21st century debt obligations at cities and states and countries that are already dead broke.

And so witness the spectacle of Cincinnati, a city that is down on its luck and its population, faces a $50 million deficit next year, and is home to the worst mascot in the history of professional sports (see right), anxiously awaiting signs that the feds will shovel some money their way in a ridiculous plot to build a streetcar system in the Queen City:

Read the rest.

When will the world realize that "green" means money in a bad way, at least how it is envisioned now.
