Thought on this?

I saw this article over the weekend: Judge in Conn. to Decide If Cheerleading Is Sport  and remembered a post I saw recently that could help this Judge (see below and thanks to Biancolo)

Warning: The US Constitution may not be suitable for children under 13

This is a load of c$@%!!! 
 
I simply cannot believe that anyone would feel it necessary to place this warning on a copy of the Constitution and other important US historical documents.
 
Copy of the warning is shown below and check out the news story here: Publishing Company Under Fire for Putting Warning Label on Constitution

Interesting thought process...

I personally thought that Hillary might leave the administration next year and begin a run for the White House herself.  But this is an interesting perspective:
 
Why Hillary Will Be On Obama's Ticket In 2012
By Liz Peek
Published June 09, 2010 | FOXNews.com
 
While the country digests yesterday’s primaries, the White House political machine is undoubtedly working overtime on a more distant challenge – how to get President Obama reelected in 2012. 
Here’s a prediction: the Obama administration will bounce Joe Biden off the 2012 ticket, and invite Hillary Clinton to run in his stead. 
The move will aim to bolster Obama’s standing and provide some excitement among core Democrats – something that Biden fails to provide. Hillary will agree, because just four years later she will be superbly positioned to run for president – ever the rainbow on her personal horizon. 
At present, her polls are high, with 58% of voters viewing her at least somewhat favorably. 
Wistful Dems who wonder these days what could have been will tout her hard work and pragmatic diplomacy as she chases one impossible Obama pipe dream after another to all corners of the globe.

Zepnick is right!!

In a press release by democrat legislator Josh Zepnick regarding the sentencing of a drunk driver to 30 months in prison, he states “Racine County Circuit Judge Stephen Simanek should be ashamed of himself, people should demand that Simanek publically explain his decision and hold him accountable.”
 
I would have to agree especially when you consider what Zepnick adds: “What is frightening is the total disrespect for justice that Simanek handed down yesterday.  Just recently, Judge Simanek issued a 3 year sentence for Racine Mayor Gary Becker.  While Becker’s actions are sick and destructive, Becker never killed anyone, yet he gets a longer sentence than someone who flew down the highway at 50mph and never stopped after killing a bicyclist!”
 
That is a great question…why would Becker get a stiffer (no pun intended) sentence than someone the was drunk, killed someone and fled a scene?
 
Something is truly wrong with the whole picture.

Swiped from Caledonia Unplugged

This is so true!
 
from CALEDONIA UNPLUGGED by Caledonia Unplugged
 
Racine Post is running an article today that, according to the Department of Workforce Development, Caledonia has the lowest unemployment rate in the state.

Here's my question: How could that possibly be true since we don't have commuter rail running through our community?”
 
LOL!!!!

Joke or not…

I’ve been watching the left fume over SNL’s skit of Obama…they must have hit a cord because they are upset!

Did you see that CNN actually did a “fact-check” of the comedy skit? No I’m not making that up.

In today’s Real Clear Politics, David Paul Kuhn discusses…

Is Obama Becoming a Joke?

Most presidents become a joke at some point. It's a matter of when and how. Both points should concern this president. In Winston Churchill's words, "a joke is a very serious thing." Or it can be, when the joke is about a very serious thing.

"Saturday Night Live" has long been a comedic benchmark. Last weekend, SNL took its first hard hit at President Obama. Fred Armisen, who plays the president, gave an Oval Office address questioning why some critics were distraught with him transforming the country: "When you look at my record it's very clear what I've done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it."

So answer me this…

Yesterday I posted a link on Facebook and received a snotty comment from one of my liberal friends…”Faux News, where more people get their news...than probably should.

Now I know that the left has no respect for Fox News but for all of the claims about being biased here is why I use them as a news source.

Two news stories about the same thing…the deficit estimate is now $1.58 trillion for 2009...one is from Fox News the other is directly from Reuters. Care to guess which is which?

U.S. deficit estimate to be trimmed to $1.58 trillion

Are you mad? Why not!??!

We are hearing and seeing that Americans are upset and venting at their elected officials in the news constantly…AND?!?!

I expect people to be mad and upset…that is life!

Here is what I am mad about:

  • How can you be out supporting a bill that YOU HAVE NOT READ?
  • And when questioned about what is in the bill the elected official says that it is right wing propaganda?

What?!?!

These men and women are our employees. We put them in office (even if we didn’t vote for them) and we can fire them.

Let the culling of the herd begin!!! 2010 is right around the corner!!!

Does any one have Health Insurance anymore?

Back in May of 2007 I wrote a small piece for this blog called Redefining Insurance, in the piece I used the most simplistic terms to lay out the different between the Health Care plans we all have and Health Insurance.

Well it seems like I’m no longer alone in using this example: CSM: Why can't health insurance be more like auto insurance?

When will people wake up and realize that the governments idea is to pull us all into one large plan that they will administer…think about it like the Post Office or the DMV…long lines…”entitled employees”…and a constant drain on the taxpayers and the consumer.

Where have I been!?!

I know it has been a long time since I put anything up on this blog and for that I’m sorry.

There are times when you just don’t have the time or energy to post anything and the last 5 weeks were just that.

For 4 weeks I was on an audit in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (pop 200,000) and I have to say that it is a beautiful place to visit.

While I was in Canada I had the opportunity to talk to a lot of locals about the health care in Canada and what they all said is that the drugs are easy to come by but the procedures are not. I know that that is not the road that we should be heading down.

I think that there is a lot out there to talk about and I’m going to wade on in and get things rolling…will start with Name that Place and go from there. I mean it’s been 5 weeks I can’t just jump at this thing like I’ve not been away!

Hope you all are doing well and welcome back.
