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...
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...
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....
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...

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...

This story caught me off guard because of the first sentence: "A South Lake Tahoe man is being held in lieu of $5,000 cash bail for allegedly being naked near high school property." Allegedly being naked? How can you be allegedly naked!! If you read further it explains that when the police arrived he was dressed. "asked if Mark was naked at the school, Mark denied he was on school property." LOL!!! :...

This is not the way I want to start a morning. I open my Google Reader to see the following story: Conceal and Carry on Two Wheels Now you are all reading this and saying to your computer – “What did you expect? It is posted on folkbum’s blog!!” And I really should know better but I usually can handle the lefty crap that is out there but every now and again there are things that just drive me nuts. “Bet you that if we had conceal and carry in Wisconsin, the bicyclist would have...

Today is the 65th anniversary of the D-Day operations.“June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained...
