Here’s an Idea…
Hey, everybody! The congress can’t seem to get their act together to save the economy. This Democrat controlled congress has the lowest approval rating in history. The congress-critters obviously aren’t doing their jobs. We need to hold them accountable. Democrats, … Continue reading

Rascal!
Today, Rascal is going to the vet. He’s keeping one foot off the ground, for no obvious reason. No swelling, doesn’t act like he’s in pain, except he doesn’t want to put his right-front foot down. Rascal is a very … Continue reading

This entry expands one topic in one of my earlier posts. Kudos to Stanley Kurtz for chasing this information down in spite of Obama’s attempts to hide, obfuscate, and smear him for doing the research. Obama’s ‘community organizing’ was conducted … Continue reading
