Who's to Blame for Sarah Palin? REALLY?Friday, September 3, 2010 at 12:00 am — admin
From my sexism lives files: A day after former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made her international debut at a Hong Kong investors conference, an Alaska newspaper apologized for a headline that ended up on the front page. Above a small photo of Palin near the bottom of Page One of Wednesday's Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, the headline read, "A broad in Asia." The headline was apparently written intentionally and was not simply an error. ObamaCare = Medicaid for AllThursday, September 2, 2010 at 10:52 am — admin
There is so much bad news about ObamaCare it is hard to know just where to start. The main problem with ObamaCare is that for all the hopla it is just a MASSIVE expansion of Medicaid--insurance for the indigent. Obama has decided that Government should be the heathcare provider to all and to do that he has taken the most broken system on the planet (Medicaid) and set the stage to move as many people as possible into Medicaid. Forget the exchanges Obama touted: under BarkyCare you will be Forced into Medicaid even if you want an exchange plan.

Howard Fineman of Obamaweek writes that Obama "came {to New Orleans} with news that the Orleans Parish school system was about to get a check for $1.8 billion. Whee. That's you and me...our tax dollars. Now for $1.8 billion bucks (extra bucks), Orleans Parish ought be set to pump out the most bestest everest students ever. But...Obama won't talk about the real problem behind the fact that some students just won't make the cut no matter how much money and time we pour into them. Shame on Glen Beck but three Cheers for Tea PartySunday, August 29, 2010 at 2:09 pm — admin
Glen Beck, Fox's counterpart to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, has the first amendment right to gather folks on the day and sight of Martin Luther King's glorious "I Have a Dream Speech," but...the hell he should Not! The funny thing is...the Left while telling 70% of Americans they are bigots and racists and nasty unwashed people for not wanting Islamoland anywhere near the epicenter of a massive slaughter committed by lunatics in the name is Islam...the Left (in this instance NYTime's Windbag Bob Herbert) has this to say about Beck: Obama to women: go to Hell, but first donate your eggs so I can live longerFriday, August 27, 2010 at 12:13 am — admin

From Investor's Business Daily: Geithner vowed to fundamentally "change" the failed government-sponsored mortgage giants. Yet, suspiciously, he didn't offer how. Nor did he explain why they lowered their underwriting standards and collapsed under the weight of subprime loans and securities. So here's a refresher: Democrat wishes Palin Dead, MSM silent, plus Sexism at Smith and WollenskyFriday, August 13, 2010 at 5:46 pm — admin
This week at a Smith and Wollensky restaurant I watched the manager of the restaurant upend the bar stool of a women whose only crime was disagreeing with the man who had come up to speak to her. It made me SICK to my stomach to watch this. The woman was with a group of folks and they were having a nice time as far as I could see. The woman had been nursing the same drink for over an hour and the men kept saying "tell us when you are old enough to drink and we'll buy you another glass of wine.' Clearly the woman was not drunk, she was very polite, even friendly. Walk it offThursday, August 12, 2010 at 5:34 pm — admin
