Just A Few People At The Washington Mall

Here are a couple of pictures from 9/12 march in Washington D.C.  As you can see, according to the press and politicians, only a few nuts showed up; the rest of the 1-2 million I guess were not nuts.

Taxpayer Protection Pledge

My only issue with the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is that I do not believe it goes far enough.  It’s not enough to pledge that I won’t raise taxes – I am to lower them.  Even so, I signed the pledge and encourage the voters in Nevada to require the rest of their Federal representatives to [...]

Van Jones Resigns – A Small Victory in a Minor Skirmish

The resignation of Van Jones as the Administration’s Green Jobs Advisor (often referred to as a Czar) is receiving considerable press from all sources.  After several months of in depth analysis by numerous conservatives regarding Jones’ past statements, writings, and interviews, the pressure became so great that his public departure was the only option.  Many [...]
