While I'm an NRA supporter, I don't always agree with their scoring of the candidates. This time they got it wrong, in my opinion, on Rep. Glenn Nye. He needs to be defeated because he is basically a lap dog for Nancy Pelosi and votes only after checking with her how his vote should go. It is one thing to be a freshman congressman, it is another to completely cast your lot with a liberal when you come from a largely military congressional district (VA -02). I hope that Glenn Nye can return to his science show in January.

John Lott's Website: Book review of new Third Edition of More Guns, Less Crime in America's First Freedom
I've had the 1st edition for years. I lend it to my liberal friends who "can't stand the thought of guns" or "think that guns are dangerous". I've just asked the people I lend it to approach the book with an open mind and just think about the arguments and the evidence. The book is so good at convincing people! I would argue that it should be made part of the Summer Reading List of every Government High School. But you know THAT will never happen. The 3rd edition is sure to be great. I most strongly recommend this book.

Timeline of Oil Rig Disaster - President Obama Action
I thought this was an interesting timeline. I can't vouch for the complete accuracy, but it appears to be complete and accurate. In addition, it supports what I generally know to be true...the current holder of the position of President of the United States has reached a position for which he is completely unprepared for.

Who hasn't known this...Clowns are EVIL!!
Yes, I saw this article and thought immediately, "who doesn't think clowns are scary?"
I've known it for years.
Bozo - scary, Ronald McDonald - scary, This clown delivering a friendly birthday cake - scary!
Then there was the mass murderer in Texas who painted clowns as well as dressed as "Pogo the Clown". Coincidence? I think not.
Face it, Clowns are SCARY!
the scientific term is "coulrophobia" but you probably can more easily remember the term, "That clown is freaking scary, dude!"
Anyway, I don't like clowns. Never have, never will!

Satchel Paige Quotes
This guy had some good quotes. I remember the name from an old Eddie Murphy/Joe Piscipo comedy routine from Saturday Night Live (when SNL was good), but I didn't know of his contributions to baseball.
He was an amazing player, and this is coming from a guy who grew up in Florida when it didn't have a professional baseball team, he doesn't seem to have taken himself too seriously either.

Another Great Article about the merits of the FairTax!
I've been a big fan of the FairTax for years. I despise the fact that my spring is spent worrying about Uncle Sam...specifically, how much U.S. is going to take from me to run government. It always seems to be more than I belive the Govenment deserves. I hate the waste. I hate the corruption. I hate the funding of the Arts (by definition it isn't essential) with taxpayer funds. And don't get me started with NPR. Anyways, I'm a big fan of the FairTax and believe it would solve a lot of the problems that the current tax code initiated.

Cops. Policemen. Fuz. Often people shun them because of the power of arrest. In actuality, law-abiding citizens should interact with and welcome police in their midst. Imagine a world without enforcers of the law. Think "Lord of the Flies" on steroids.

Biting comment by Justice Scalia
From the transcript of McDonald v. City of Chicago...
Justice Scalia's mind is sharp.
JUSTICE SCALIA: I guess we -- I guess we have applied substantive due process with regard to the necessity of permitting homosexual conduct and with respect to the necessity of permitting abortion on demand. We have not adopted a more rigid rule for the Federal Government than we have adopted for the States in either of those instances, have we?

The flu season that wasn't.
I can still remember that goofball secretary of health and human services showing reporters how to "properly cough" into the crook of the elbow. If something is to be learned from this it is that if the government tells you something is a crisis...you can probably ignore it. If the government tells you not to worry about something, that is when to be concerned.

John Lott's Website: Florida Law Regarding Gun Ownership and Adoption
I have to agree with Dr. Lott's reasoning here. If a government contractor is asking the question, then the answer to the question is available to the government.
This is profiling. This is wrong.
I support Rep Horner's bill and urge passage in the State of Florida.
I wonder now if there is a Federal Agency that has contractors asking this question and making decisions based on the answers. If the government says that they aren't basing decisions on the answer, then why are they asking the question?

Here is a big surprise...NOT!
Obama is seen as Anti-Business? Really? You don't say. You mean higher taxes and more regulation actually makes life more difficult for companies? Well I guess that I learned something today.
IDIOTS!
Less regulation and less taxes...coupled with less government spending will get this economy going again. And if they really wanted to stimulate growth, they would do away with the IRS and institute the FAIRTAX. Many economists agree that this would immediately stimulate growth and free up capital for investment that is currently used to track and prepare taxes.

McCain and Feingold should be sent packing!
For the two Senators to even write this horrible legislation, they obviously were not to serious about their oath to "Support and Defend the Constitution". If I were running against either of them, I would be calling them out as "Anti-Constitution" and shoving it down their throats. The tragedy is that it has taken years for the SCOTUS to strike it down. A lot of damage has been done. Somebody has to pay, I say McCain and Feingold should be sent packing.

John Lott's Website: Compare the growth in government under Obama in one year to the growth under any previous president since Eisenhower#links
My thoughts are that President Obama spent way too much time studying and practicing the "organization of communities" and very little time studying and understanding economics.
Government is inherently inefficient. Every dollar spent by Government is worth measureably more than a dollar to the public who earned it.

Also he supports discussing the issues with the utmost of respect. The Democrats can always win their arguments with the facts and by persuasive, logical points.

Question 9 of the 2010 Census
What is Person 1's race?
_White
_Black, African Am., or Negro
_American Indian or Alaska Native ---Print name of enrolled or principal tribe
_Asian Indian _Japanese _Native Hawaiian
_Chinese _Korean _Guamanian or Chamorro
_Filipino _Vietnamese _Samoan
_Other Asian--print race, for example Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Pakistani, Cambodian, and so on.
_Other Pacific Islander--print race, for example Fijian, Tongan, and so on.
_Some other race--print race
Me, I'm planning to answer "Some other race."
Many consider de facto racial profiling an example of institutional racism in law enforcement. The history of misuse of racial categories to impact adversely one or more groups and/or to offer protection and advantage to another has a clear impact on debate of the legitimate use of known phenotypical or genotypical characteristics tied to the presumed race of both victims and perpetrators by the government. I think, like Justice Roberts that the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.
"Some other race" seems to work for me.

It may be my opinion, but the phrase "Unexpectedly" and "Unexpected" is used more often than not. Just who are these "Experts" making the predictions? Why are the results so often "unexpected?"

When Government Gets More Power - You Lose More Freedom
That's the way it works folks! I am a big believer in the FairTax. When you look at how much time, effort, energy and money is spent in following the regulations of the IRS...and when you understand that the IRS employees are unable to tell you what the exact policy is...and when you understand that if you are ever audited it your responsibility to prove you are innocent...and when you understand that as of 2005 only one member of Congress prepared his own income tax paperwork...then you will understand that the IRS is not a friend to anybody in the United States, except of course the Congress.
