  • More Fed Officials Say 'No Jobs Coming'

    More Fed presidents are openly saying that all these wonderful things Obey-Won and the Debt-i Knights in Congress are spending money (that they don't have) on aren't going to get people working again...as if that were their plan in the first place (people making money don't vote for more' [...]

  • Owens Immediately Sells Out NY-23

    Wow, that was fast! Mere hours after being sworn in to represent the 23rd, Bill Owens goes from being against the socialization of health care bill currently before Congress to voting for it...after getting to meet with Obey-Won. Any true moderates that voted for Owens because of his stated stances [...]

    You'd think that they'd be content with controlling the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, etc etc. You'd be wrong.

    So I'm reading the Saturday Daily Gazette and they have a big, above the fold lead story on the unemployment rate jumping over 10%. Nothing wrong with that. The sub-headline is "Fear freezes new hiring; 15.7 million out of work". Interesting.

    However, if you read the story, nowhere will' [...]

As my incredulity grew, I started thinking back...is this what the press usually does with headline murderers? Hmmm...how about Scott Roeder, the [...]

    Why didn't the press go after anti-catholic, violent gay activists?
