Putin...Man of the Year?

Well, well, well...In accordance to their socialist, left-leaning ways, Time magazine has voted Vladimir Putin as Time's "Man Of The Year". In these times of the lefties who want to destroy America, it only seems appropriate to anoint a person who has alluded to a desire to nuke the United States as their man. And, in the age of imminent destruction by global warming, Al Gore was the runner-up. A bully and a fraud...Now that's just peachy. Oh, and by the way, General David Petraeus was also a runner-up, but not before J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame. Only in American "Journalism" would an inventor of an imaginary wizard finish as a person of the year in front of a General who has taken a war we were losing and turned it around. God Bless the U.S.S.A.!

Feeding The World...

Global wheat prices are skyrocketing, and the U.N. says it is depleting the supply. Of course, it is all tied back to global warming. That's funny. According to the Washington Times, low temperature records are being set globally. Are you starting to see a pattern here?

Congress Bans incandescent Light Bulbs...

Yep, Congress is at it again. It seems the hair-brained schemes they've pulled aren't enough. While they were busy this past year re-naming 250 or so Post Offices and opening over 300 investigations into the Bush administration's White House, someone on the left side of the aisle realized that they were bringing mother earth closer to burning up by not being green in the way they illuminate the chambers. And the way Americans light their way.

This piece of work will ban all incandescent light bulbs by 2014. The bill, signed by President Bush, calls for all light bulbs to use 30 percent less energy by 2014 and - get this - 70 percent by 2020. The bill also calls for auto efficiency to be raised by 40 percent. And who gets screwed in the end? US!

With Fluorescent bulbs costing 7 to 10 times more, and vehicle prices climbing every year due to over regulation, this is going to make it very difficult on the average American's budget.

I have a better Idea for our Congress: Lets try to get the budget balanced, find a short term solution to energy prices (Anwar...hint hint) and cut our taxes.

Balancing the Budget, Cal-ee-forn-eea Style

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he will have to declare a 'Fiscal Emergency" due to a $14 billion budget shortfall. Meanwhile, the State Assembly just passed the first phase of a resolution giving all of it's residents medical insurance...to the tune of $14 billion worth. Geez, I wish I could run my house with such fiscal responsibility.
