New Orleans - you did it again!

How is that possible, how is it conceivable that you really didn't leave when a Hurricane came? Seriously, watching these folks get 'rescued' is absurd. You knew this was coming, you knew what happens when you live below sea-level on the waterfront. Yet, you didn't go. I heard one guy say "we just waited to be rescued", what if nobody came? You'd most likely be crying blaming the Government for not being there. At what point do people start taking care of themselves?? Sheep.

Mr. Romney

Dear Mr. Romney, Please don't consider your Libertarian support anything but coincidental. You see as a great Man once said "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"; you're graced by replacing a failed President. It isn't that the majority of America will be behind you come November as much as it is that they can no longer stand 'Mr. Hope&Change'. It did help greatly that you hired a true leader in Paul Ryan to work with you, that at a minimum showed a solid ability to select leaders. Hopefully you do very well in assigning your cabinet. Remember that the reason Obama failed is that he focused on party goals more than the Country's needs. The Country is in a hard place right now, we need a clear leader that understands how to move forward - not how to push the blame. We need someone who understands the difference between a 'need' and a 'want' or a 'right' and a 'lust'. It is critically important that we fix the tax cod...

Parents are awesome.

With all the non-sense out there on YouTube, Twitter and the like, it was very cool to see this video posted: http://www.dump.com/parentsrap/ . Finally, someone making something useful, fun and enjoyable without being..well..dumb.

Dems, social problems are nothing in light of current issues.

As everyone could have predicted in light of complete failure in regards to anything relatively important to a nation on a national level - insert Economy, Jobs, War, Health, etc. - the Dems are trying to make 'abortion' an issue for the GOP this year. Abortion, really, that is the highest concerns for the average American today? I seriously doubt you could even falsify a poll to show that. The current administration put us in two more armed conflicts as a nation, destroyed our economy and gave us a near insurmountable debt, but we should be worried about when a woman can choose to terminate a pregnancy? Generally the Dems would have immediately gone to Gay rights but in light of the Chick-fil-a debacle, you know where Libs and Dems felt they could pressure a company with protest to drop its moral fiber at an executive level, and the fact that Obama has been a flip-flop king in regards to Gays, have taken that topic off the table. The fact of the matter here is the US has real...

Ha - Twitter Followers, What a Joke.

According to a research group that tracks what "false" Twitter followers exist, over 70% of both Obama and Kim Kardashian's followers on Twitter are fake. That's right kids, much like your friends on Facebook, they don't know these people. It turns out the vast majority of followers for both the Pres and Celebrities are in fact web bots. These are built to pad results and show influence where it doesn't exist, exactly like voter fraud. This is what happens when we assume popularity equates to some level of immortality. Oops

Lance Armstrong....what should we take away?

First off, any person in the world, America especially is guilty of this, that puts a person on the pedestal of a hero for physical capability is completely misguided. Physical talent is nothing more than a capitalization on a God given capability, and while admirable, it is certainly not the end-all-be-all quality of a hero. Let's look at the definition of "hero", according to Webster it is: a : a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability b : an illustrious warrior c : a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities d : one who shows great courage" So according to that definition you could certainly say he was admired for his achievements, but noble qualities, let's look closely. While this is a man who showed great talent, it is now shadowed by the possibility the achievement was garnered by illegal means, if we look at character and nobility, well, there is much to be desired. People seem to forget ...

So the EPA taketh away, Obama gives back.

The EPA has for long hammered farmers by requiring corn be used in Ethanol which in turn is required in fuel, thanks to the EPA neo-Nazis. As a result, gas prices increase exponentially and corn product and reserves are depleted. Now as corn goes up in value and farmers are forced to provide corn for not only food, fuel and feed, while faced with drought, are further subsidized by the Government. Obama has once again OK'd his socialistic behavior and forced the US tax payer to flip a bill for more Government evolvement. 2012 elections can't get here soon enough.

Tapping the "Strategic" Oil Reserve

The Strategic Oil Reserve (SOR) in the United States was established in response to the gas shortages of the 70's from the usual suspect Middle East. And again, today in 2012, we find the Middle East is still a problem. Not exactly a shock, however, sadly the current Administration is attempting to use the SOR to lower gas prices for the election in 2012. The current raise in gas prices can be directly attributed to EPA regulation on refineries in the United States, nothing more - as driving in the US is down overall and no 'conflict' can directly support costs increases. Now, aside from for shear political reasons, lets explain why using the SOR is a catastrophic idea; if per chance Iran does disable the Strait of Hormuz for any amount of time. It is inevitable that Israel will strike Iran, that is a foregone conclusion, and when that occurs the only retaliation Iran has is to shut the Straight in the hope that then the West will pressure Israel to lay down arms. Now, whe...

LZ Granderson - you're blind to the world.

LZ - you couldn't be more preoccupied in your opinion on Mitt Romney. If for one moment you removed your "Republicans can only do wrong" blinders for just a few moments, maybe you'd realize that the United States needs realism; not adolescent naivety in regards to our future. You push the opinion that "people don't like Romney", that is simply not true and remember, the Presidency of the United States should not be a cool-kid contest. We tried that in 2008 and it gave us untold debt, horrible future for healthcare, another War and a litany of covert-military action throughout the world while all the while the President was proclaiming a posture of forgiveness for all the American wrongs. You seem to be on point on anything - not political. However every time you dabble into the realm of politic you get stuck in a Liberalistic Demagogue of non-sense. You attempted to analyze class-warfare via Romney, while avoiding at all costs the fact that for decades ...

We tried "Hope & Change"

So in 2008 America decided to try a new direction, one that claimed to aim away from War, away from Greed and the betterment of a society. It was nearly like the new generation of Camelot, to steal a Kennedy phrase, and carried equal pomp and circumstance. However, as time has played out, it has continued to be a thinly veiled and empty promise. The President came in and promised sweeping change and betterment, he had complete support of a full Democratic lead US Congress for over two years and yet, all that we seemed to receive was a failed Health Care replacement and trillions of dollars of debt; along with extension in the same policies he ridiculed his predecessor for and a new War along with escalated covert interacting in middle-eastern countries. All in all, America is far worse off in many forms that it was in 2008. Now the global economy and climate did not aid the President, and in most cases the United States is in a far better position than others; however the President si...

Gods of the Week.

Remember where the days of the week come from, and maybe you’ll understand why certain days just suck by the nature of their existence: Monday: Ironically “Manic Monday” was actually provided to us by Nordic God Mani. Mani personifies the Moon and races across the sky chased by a wolf name Hati representing “hate”. Whenever that nasty beast caught him, we have an eclipse. Ouch. So next time you wake up to that crappy alarm on Monday morning, figure this much, at minimum you weren’t eaten by a wolf and that is a pretty awesome start to a week. Tuesday: Ugh, the second day of a work week and taken from the Nordic God Tiwaz.. Tiwaz, like many Germanic/Nordic Gods, was a God of Battle. In the case of Tiwaz he was God of single combat, victory and glory. According to lore, Tiwaz gave his hand to save the world, so considering you have a few late afternoon meetings, at least you didn’t have to sacrifice a limb. Wednesday: Derived from “Wooton’s Day”, taken from the Nordic God – Odin. Odi...
