postheadericon Biting the hand that feeds them: Adams County tells cities to pay more or your prisoners go free

In one fell swoop Adams County has set back relations with the cities within its borders 20 years in a move that threatens to return more criminals to the streets instead of remanding them to jail.  The inability of the county government to properly control its finances now is set to harm the very citizens [...]

postheadericon Friday funnies: Don’t buy stuff you cannot afford

Today’s Friday Funny comes our way via Saturday Night Live.  In a skit with Steve Martin, the crew comes across the novel concept that you shouldn’t buy something if you can’t afford it.

postheadericon White House tries to squash Ford’s anti-bailout ad

Ford Motor Company was the only one of the ‘big three’ Detroit automakers to not take government bailout funding and a recent television ad touted that noteworthy point.  It appears however that the White House pressured Ford to drop the ad, not approving of its message of self-reliance. One of a series of similar ads [...]

postheadericon Colorado or Wyoming? The White House apparently doesn’t know the difference

Campaigner-in-Chief President Barack Obama is on a three state swing through the western United States to push his so-called jobs bill.  Unfortunately for him, some of his staffers don’t seem to know the difference between Colorado and Wyoming. The press credentials issued by the White House sure look pretty with an image of the three [...]

President Barack Obama appeared before a joint session of Congress last night to pitch his latest so-called jobs bill saying 17 times ‘pass this bill.’ His American Jobs Act is another $447 billion ‘stimulus’ package that offers nothing new and will fail miserably much as the first one did.

postheadericon Obama: American people too ‘skittish’ to realize economy is recovering

Someone needs to explain to President Barack Obama one key phrase – “It’s the economy, stupid.”  This axiom seems to have fallen on deaf ears within the administration as today Obama blamed ‘skittish and nervous’ Americans and the ‘trauma’ that came before he took office. Stagnant unemployment.  Exploding debt.  An expanding deficit. An analysis released by [...]

postheadericon Gassing up with Obama

Oil has once again crossed the $100 a barrel mark and gas prices will certainly follow the upward trend.  Rather than doing anything about it, President Barack Obama continues to preach to us and force his vision of a greener globe on us against our will. A new video provides a nice little recap of [...]

postheadericon ‘Hope and Change’ Sticky Note Campaign takes flight

Social media can be a powerful tool as can various forms of guerilla marketing.  A new campaign which is both extraordinarily simple and amazingly brilliant seeks to focus the masses attention on the dire straits our nation is in by simply asking “How’s that hope and change working out for you?” with sticky notes.
