Phooey
Jan 30th, 2008 by Mike

Rats! If the national Republican race goes anything like Florida’s primary then in November we’ll have a choice between a liberal and a socialist.

Pay It With Pork
Aug 9th, 2007 by Mike

Congressional leaders are recommending a 5 cent tax hike per gallon of gasoline at the pump to pay for repairs for the nations bridges. I say, “Pay it with pork.” Gas tax per gallon is already almost twice the price we used to pay for an entire gallon of gas when I began driving…that’s not even counting the price during gas wars.Let’s get real, folks.

Emptying Bush
Jul 20th, 2007 by Mike

President Bush will be having a colonoscopy tomorrow. After having gone through one myself, I can assure you that by tomorrow he will not be “full of it” at least until late tomorrow.

Shared Prosperity
Jun 4th, 2007 by Mike

In a speech last week, Hillary Clinton said she wanted “shared prosperity”. I wonder, is “shared prosperity” a euphemism for “socialism”?

Sen Brownback’s Evolution Stance
Jun 3rd, 2007 by Mike

In the May 3 GOP Presidential debate, Sen Sam Brownback was one of three who raised their hands to the question, “Is there anybody on the stage that does not believe in evolution?” This caused an outcry among atheists and some consternation in the main stream media. The atheist article claims that, “It’s not an issue where thoughtful people can disagree. You either believe in scientific certainty or you don’t.”1 The exact same phrase the global warming alarmist use to kill debate on the subject.However, the debate is not closed. Sen Brownback offers one of the most lucid responses I’ve seen on the subject of faith and science.Thanks to John at The Daily Detour for raising the subject.

In God We Trust Bruhaha
Apr 27th, 2007 by Mike

plateIn case you missed it, the ACLU is suing the State of Indiana on behalf of Mark Studler because Indiana is not charging a $15.oo fee for the popular “In God We Trust” license plates. Rather than recap the entire “adventure” here, I’ll point you to two blogs that disagree on the reason for the lawsuit.

John at The Daily Detour says it’s about God.

Gary Varvel1 says it isn’t.

Both think it’s ridiculous; so do I.
