Weekend Open Comments

I almost hate to post this because I always liked LaWanda Page aka Aunt Esther. I don’t want to insult her.

Oh, and SouthernTragedy says hi!

The libs are abusing the police to strike at conservatives.
How grown up they are. NOT.
I hope they catch these guys and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. I hope no one else was robbed, raped, or killed while the cops were responding to the fake 911 call.

Flynn’s bailing effective July 24th Terence Flynn, a Republican member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), is stepping down, the agency announced on Sunday. A statement from the NLRB said that Flynn had submitted a resignation letter to President Obama and Mark Pearce, the labor board’s Democratic chairman, on Saturday. I guess he stays on the taxpayer’s dime while… Read more »

Folks may remember the ruckus raised last year when Congress passed the Homeland Battlefield provision in last years Defense Authorization bill. The President threatened to veto the bill unless American citizens were exempted. Well it’s back again in this year’s NDAA. One amendment, proposed by Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Tex.), significantly dilutes habeas corpus and appears to authorize the indefinite military… Read more »

I was in Jacksonville, The hurricane just missed us. I remember the stores being sold out of everything though. After all my preparations I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to use them. It wasn’t until Ike that I realized how lucky I had been.

An interesting article in Space News regarding Space Exploration Technology’s attempt to commercialize space. The theory goes that Republicans are pro free enterprise and pro privatization, so why isn’t there more hoopla made of SpaceX’s considerable achievement? Rocket science ain’t easy and this initiative got underway in the early days of the Bush administration when Sean O’Keefe was administrator. Instead… Read more »

Speaking of propaganda though, there is a real principle involved in the NDAA bill that the House approved. We won’t mention which party controls the House.

That’s funny. When I first saw the post I thought it was something about Michael Savage, whose real name is Weiner.
