Schwarzenegger and Stallone

Tags:

On a celebrity news site, I found this quote from Sylvester Stallone, referring to his former box office competitor:

"At one time Arnold and I were like Sodom and Gomorrah, Cane and Abel, very competitive."

Does he mean that? Yes, I think he does, but only the part from Cane to the end of the sentence.  read more »

Tags:

I think it was about 2 or 3 weeks ago that the writers guild in Hollywood went on strike. Since then some other groups, both in Hollywood and New York have joined them.

What was your first thought when you heard about it? Did it matter to you? Did you care?  read more »

Follow The Money

Tags:

Democrat Senator John D. Dingell is trying to do his part to save the planet. The Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee in September released his plan to impose a carbon tax on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to combat global warming. The carbon tax would be $50 per ton on polluting industries, plus it would add a 50 cent per gallon tax on gasoline and other transportation fuels.  read more »

College Debt - Solution?

Tags:

I came across an interesting figure on student debt from a mid-size state college in Ohio. The school has about 20,000 students and last year alone, students borrowed $129 million dollars. Some percentage of these students have credit card debt on top of that.

If that is accurate, it certainly shows that more college expense is being paid by debt, than by cash and financial aid.  read more »

Veto Override!

Tags:

Several days ago Congress was successful at overriding a 'water projects' bill that President Bush had halted with a veto. The media and most democrats were feeling a sense of accomplishment about that. That is understandable, since President Bush has shown that he will use the veto.  read more »

When They Show Themselves

Tags:

Generally democrats hide their true identity beneath layers and layers of lies. This is how they deceive the public and how they get votes. There are times, however, when their true identity shows. For those times America is grateful.

Pete Stark, liberal left kook Congressman from California had this to say when President Bush vetoed the stealth Hillary Care bill:  read more »

Rush shines the spotlight!

Tags:

At 1:00 Eastern Standard Time today a bright spotlight will be placed on the Harry Reid letter that attempted to smear Rush Limbaugh and get his voice silenced. This letter becomes a historical monument to the lies and scheming that the democrats are about. In addition, it appears to be the first time that the U.S. Senate has set about attacking a private citizen.  read more »

Creative democrats go after Turkey

Tags:

Since the democrats have been in their new position of majority in Congress, they have been primarily focused on only one thing. Even though they have shown themselves to be ineffective and weak, the defeat and surrender of the U.S. military is the prize that keeps them moving forward.  read more »
