PA Smoking Ban Highlights Need for Part Time, Citizen Legislature
Back in the 1950s entertainer Louis Prima did a song about his “confused Italian greyhound” that would bark at him instead of at strangers and howl until Prima took his own albums off the turntable and put Sam Butera records on.
The Pennsylvania General Assembly is starting to look more and more like Prima’s confused Italian […]
Protecting Florida’s Children
The ACLU of Greater Miami and the ACLU of Florida has united to formally request Florida Governor Charlie Crist “…convene a task force of experts and lawmakers to respond to the public safety and housing crisis that the patchwork of residency restrictions for persons convicted of sexual offenses has created across the state of Florida.”
Citing […]
Singh-ing freedom’s song: candidate invokes liberty, federalism in challenge to Moran
Republicans in Virginia’s 8th Congressional District can tell you the difference between swimming against a mere tidal wave and crashing up against a tsunami. This ever-changing U.S. House district, which encompasses Arlington County, Alexandria, Falls Church, and parts of Fairfax County has not been good country for Republican candidates over the past decade.
Democrat statewide nominee […]
PA Primary: Diamond on track to score major grassroots upset
Unlike their Democratic brethren who are facing a difficult choice among two equally liberal, indistinguishable presidential candidates, Republican voters in the Keystone State’s 101st legislative district have a much easier choice on their hands.
Incumbent Republican Mauree Gingrich, first elected in 2002, is seeking a fourth term in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Gingrich faces a tough […]
Power to the People
“Why are children who are supposed to be protected by the Jessica Lunsford Act actually being harmed grievously by the same law? Why are the children of registered sex offenders being tormented, abused and trying to commit suicide because of the Jessica Lunsford Act?”
Why indeed?
Activist George Crossley examined this important issue Saturday, March 1st on […]
JEB666 aka Satan Claus
While we are out running around like reindeer in flight–our thoughts on the holidays and our eyes off the eight ball–we learn once again how Florida’s illustrious ex-governor–aka the Demon J.E.B–has once again taken advantage of us with his tricky Bush devilish ways.
Check out The New York Crank to see how Satan Claus continues to […]

Cambridge Massachusetts vs The Boy Scouts
For those of you from not around here, Cambridge Massachusetts is probably the most liberal city in the country. That may be over stating it a bit, San Francisco is probably still ahead, but Cambridge is one of the most liberal cities in the country, and probably the most liberal in New England. Cambridge is […]
Boston Police to Conduct Warrantless Home Searches
In a time where the left has accused the president of trampling the constitution with his foreign surveillance program, which the left has dubbed the domestic spying program, also known as warrantless wiretapping, I find this story rather interesting. The headline of the story,”Police to Search for Guns in Homes”, is innocent enough, but when […]
Bob Allen Resigns-Sort Of
Bob Allen is playing us.
The Florida state representative resigned– effective February 15, 2008–after his conviction of soliciting an undercover police officer for sex in the restroom of a county park.
Apparently–according to a spokesperson for Florida Speaker of the House, Marco Rubio–that date was Allen’s choice.
Really? He gets a choice?
How’s this sound? Effective immediately.
Marco Rubio […]
San Francisco Screws Small Businesses
Francisco not only screws small businesses, but their workers too.
“How could that be?” you Liberals ask. “Don’t you know that San Francisco is the nearest thing to Heaven that has ever graced this planet, and undoubtedly the Universe?”
“Muslims have Mecca. Liberals have San Francisco.”
The news of San Francisco’s callous regard for […]
Massachusetts Middle School Cancels Field Trip to see Miracle On 34th Street Because of Objectionable Content
McCall Middle School in Winchester Massachusetts recently cancelled a field trip to see a live performance of A Miracle on 34th Street. Why you ask? I’m glad you asked. Because of the objectionable content of the play. That’s right, OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT. It appears as though at least one parent complained about the field trip and […]
Understanding Why We Need School Vouchers
One would think that in the deep red state of Utah school vouchers would be the law of the land by now. Last February the legislature approved a universal voucher program, and for the first time the nation stood watching to see if all the hopes wrapped up in this challenge to the public school […]
Primary Ridiculousness
The other day Michigan moved up it’s primary. This move, on the heels of Wyoming and South Carolina moving their dates to early January. At this rate the campaign will be decided next month.
