Did I not get the memo?

Gulf of Mexico oil slick: Sarah Palin fuels anti-British sentiment – Telegraph. Apparently we’re still fighting off the Brits.  Or something. Maybe we’re trying to get the crown out of Canada (for their own sake)? Beats me. Also, this sort of rabble-rabble seems to be early promotional material for her 2012 run at the GOP [...]

HCR Roadmap

A good breakdown of the HCR bill can be found here. I’m not going to link to any of the moonbat Tea Party crap. It just made my head spin and made me a bit sad. I’m no fan of this bill (as previously stated) but it’s not the end of the world. I’m not [...]

Liberating Legislation?

House Clears Path for Final Health Vote “It’s liberating legislation,” Ms. Pelosi said. “It’s to free Americans to live their passion, reach their aspirations without being job-locked because they have to have health care, especially if they have someone in their family with a pre-existing condition.” It’ll liberate money from my pocket, if nothing else.

College tuition in GA set to rise again

BWAHAHAHAHA… I go to a public university in GA. The comments on the Augusta Chronicle’s page are, as always, worth the read.

The skirmishes have begun

From Class War by Steven Greenhut over at Reason: There was a time when government work offered lower salaries than comparable jobs in the private sector but more security and somewhat better benefits. These days, government workers fare better than private-sector workers in almost every area—pay, benefits, time off, and job security. And not just [...]

In which I ponder the meaning of conservativism, reject rationalism and wander into the desert in search of something more fun.

Dear Conservative Movement:  Stop Ruining My Life, by Michael Brendan Dougherty You go so far as to encourage people to fabricate their entire identity from the Republican platform. Look at S.E. Cupp. She used to be a person! Now, under your influence, she is one of the lamer Rush Limbaugh monologues from the Clinton era. [...]
