Recordkeeping for 2009 Income Tax Return: The Time to Start is Now

If you are like most Americans, you won't start thinking about working on your income tax return until long after ringing in the New Year. However, if you want to avoid the stress of digging through an accumulation of bills and invoices to provide proof of income and/or expenses, the time to begin is now. It is also a good time to set up recording keeping for 2010 so that at the end of next year, you will have all the information at your fingertips. Record keeping is essential because if the… Continue

Obama's Thanksgiving PSA w/ NFL (Video)

If you're like me, you'll be watching a bit of football on Thanksgiving. If you do, you'll probably see quite a bit of this PSA from the NFL and President Obama (didn't Drew Brees see him coming?) on volunteerism and exercise.

I wonder if SEIU's Andy Stern gave his approval for using the kids in the… Continue

More Health Care Rationing For Women - Women Should Have Fewer Pap Tests

We told you yesterday about the health care rationing that is starting now with the impending health care reform (a.k.a. PelosiCare, ObamaCare) legislation before Congress. Yesterday, the US Preventative Task Force said that women should not be getting mammograms until the age of 50, even though tens of thousands of lives could be changed.

As I said yesterday, if ObamaCare is passed, the… Continue

Health Care Rationing Is Here Starting W/ Mammograms

For those that have laughed off the 'death panel' (which was actually instituted under the Stimulus bill), health care rationing is here thanks to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

The task force 6 months ago continued its recommendations that women have mammograms every one to two years starting at age 40. The panel, which changes with every administration, now says that the… Continue

Union Goes After Boy Scouts in Allentown, PA

When I see stories like this, it reminds me how thankful we Virginians should be that we live in a right to work state.

A Boy Scout in pursuit of an Eagle Scout badge toiled for 200+ hours trying to improve a local park. Doesn't he know that's a union job?

In pursuit of an Eagle Scout badge, Kevin Anderson, 17, has toiled for more than 200 hours hours over several weeks to clear a…

Obama's Doubletalk on Political Dissent

Michelle Malkin

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

President Obama traveled all the way to China to praise the free flow of information. It's the only safe place he could do so without getting heckled. With a straight face, Obama lauded political dissent and told Chinese students he welcomed unfettered criticism in America. Fierce opposition, he said, made him "a better leader because it forces me to hear opinions that I don't want to hear." How… Continue

Dismantling America

Thomas Sowell

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to… Continue

POTUS Danger Fatigue

I don’t know about you but I’m ever so tired of POTUS crying danger. First with POTUS Bush it was the financial system – if we don’t do something to fix this within the next 48hrs the sky will surely fall and crush our tiny empty heads. It worked!

POTUS Obama followed this with: TARP2, The Stimulus Package, The Auto Industry Bailout, The Home Mortgage Bailout, Health Care Reform and Cap and Trade all of these had to be passed and passed immediately or our country would be in danger… Continue

A Tale of Two Soundbites Which one sounds “divisive” to you? By Mark Steyn October 17, 2009

A Tale of Two Soundbites

Which one sounds “divisive” to you?

By Mark Steyn October 17, 2009

Here is a tale of two soundbites. First:

“Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

Second:

“The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse-Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with… Continue

Rush Rammed By the Editors October 16, 2009

Rush Rammed

By the Editors October 16, 2009

It is telling that Rush Limbaugh’s enemies — and they are enemies, not critics — always avail themselves of the same three weapons: fat jokes, addiction jokes, and lies. There was a predictable surfeit of the first two in the Democratic media’s recent campaign to prevent Rush from becoming part-owner of a professional football team, but the lies reached a level that is remarkable even by the standards of the corrupt and incompetent… Continue

By Stephen Spruiell

Full disclosure: I hate the Philadelphia Eagles. Always have. I grew up in Arlington, Texas, and even before Jerry Jones built a colossal monument to football (and to Jerry Jones) right in the middle of our town, my family worshipped the Dallas Cowboys. According to tradition, Cowboys fans are supposed to hate the Redskins most of all. But so… Continue

Federal Authority Over the Internet? . . . S.773 - Cybersecurity Act of 2009

There's a new bill working its way through Congress that is cause for some alarm: the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, introduced by Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). The bill as it exists now risks giving the federal government unprecedented power over the Internet without necessarily improving security in the ways that matter most. It should be opposed or radically amended.

Essentially, the Act would federalize critical infrastructure security. Since many of our… Continue

There is a shift occurring in the United States, a tectonic shift that is imposing statism in a land predicated on limited government.

In the past, the not very distant past, mediating structures served as a barrier against managerial despotism. But these structures have been under assault for decades and are showing signs of weakness and decay.

The family has been… Continue

‘Liberal Lies About National Health Care’? By Ann Coulter Oct 8, 2009

(18) America's lower life expectancy compared to countries with socialist health care proves that their medical systems are superior.

President Obama has too much intellectual pride to make such a specious argument, so instead we have to keep hearing it from his half-wit supporters.

The Brainy Bunch

Thomas Sowell

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem.

It was, after all, Franklin D. Roosevelt's brilliant "brains trust" advisers whose policies are now increasingly recognized as having prolonged the Great Depression of the 1930s, while claiming credit for ending it. The Great Depression… Continue
