And just when it looks like it couldn't get better - guess what? - it does! Solyndra is paying $2550 an hour to defend their failure. I wonder where they got that money? A California solar-energy company under scrutiny for a $535 million federal loan guarantee has hired McDermott Will & Emery to advise it in a congressional inquiry, court papers say. An application by Solyndra Inc. to

President Obama and Governor Schwarzenegger at the construction site of Solyndra What does 535 million buy you these days? About a thousand "long-term" jobs, for about twelve months - a whole year! That would be $535,000 spent per job created. And since these "long-term" jobs had expiration dates, that was 44.5 million spent per month. Sounds like a great investment of your money - right?

So in order to create jobs, we have to take State's Rights away? (a) Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from a suit brought in a Federal court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this Act. (b) Waiver of State Immunity- (1) IN GENERAL- (A) WAIVER- A State's receipt or use of Federal financial assistance for any

So have we come down to this - it takes a "jobs bill" to create jobs in America? This is the third try our President has made to "jumpstart" the economy and job growth, and so naturally, the question is simple; what will make this proposal work? After all, it's the same tired and worn out ideas of the first two proposals. Does raising taxes and spending more money on infrastructure sound

The government (FAA) can't seem to secure data on who owns what plane and what the registration numbers are. Of course this means that as a result, we don't know whether the sale/purchase of these planes went to law abiding people or criminals. We don't even know if the flight plans these planes file are legitimate! But, don't worry, our government (TSA) has the best porno scanning devices in

Riots, riots, and more riots! Why is it that "peace" loving socialists go acting all infantile? In London, the news is filled with supposedly "grownup" students who have resorted to first-grade playground antics, protesting tuition hikes and thrashing about in a way that would make a three year-old toddler jealous. Well, the answer is simple. Socialists have no moral character. Essentially, as a

If you look at the results, I would say they have. How so? Let's answer this question with another question.

Across the nation, liberals and progressives have been sounding out a cry against balancing their budgets with proposed spending cuts. In the NYT yesterday, California (not the most fiscally brilliant State in the Union) was the latest to be highlighted with budget shortfall woes - again. As I read the Times' article, I had to shake my head in utter disgust at the fiscal illiteracy of some of

Here is a good eye opener as to some of the reasons why Americans got rid of those that voted for Government Healthcare (Obamacare) in this last election. Yes, Americans understand for themselves what is good and what is bad. So is this Government Healthcare good? By the time you watch this clip in it's entirety, you just may understand EXACTLY why the majority of Americans didn't want this from

It is always most fascinating, especially in this age of soundbites and media spin, to hear a story first hand, straight from the source. I found the interview very honorable and befitting that of a President, and in a breath of fresh air, reminiscent of something we haven't seen in almost two years - Leadership. You can see the whole interview here. Oh - and not once does Bush criticize his

Just prior to the elections, Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was lamenting that in her view, "Democrats haven't necessarily gotten the credit they're due for the work they've done the last two years." In other words, the American people haven't paid enough attention to us, especially for how hard we have worked! It appears, however, that America was paying attention to what Nancy Pelosi was working

Corrine Brown offers free meals for early voters. There has been this trend going around in this election cycle of giving away free meals to voters. Might I add, to my knowledge, it's only been the Democrats doing this. The latest is Corrine Brown. So why do these incumbent Democrats feel the need to give away a free lunch to get their constituents to come vote? The answer is simple. All of

Weekly Address: Working Together on the Economy As I read the transcript to the last President's Weekly Address, I had to ask myself just who this guy thinks he is, and who he thinks he is talking too. How the President could keep a straight face while giving this speech is indicative of the lack of respect he has for any American that thinks for themselves and/or has any cognitive abilities.

To any authentic, patriotic American, the United States Constitution looks like this. However, to many politicians in Washington, the Constitution looks like this. This is how the Constitution is being treated, torn apart, piece by piece; its being used to wipe the politicians clean of any restraint. Perhaps on November 2nd, we can keep them from flushing our liberties down the toilet?

Weekly Address: Letting Wall Street Run Wild Again This past Saturday, the President delivered his Weekly Address to the nation. He entitled it "Letting Wall Street Run Wild Again." It was the typical "I am so great, the Republicans are so toxic" pontification that we have come to expect from the President. Here is the a summary of the Weekly Address as stated on the White House website.

Now certainly it seems a bit "shocking" on the surface, but when you compare this Ad to current reality, it is a lazy stroll through the park. And that is not meant to belittle the Ad.

I can't tell you how much I have wanted to take at face value what the President says; it sounds so good. However, beneath the veil is reality - a reality that if most people knew of, wouldn't give this President a dime's worth of their attention. So, I have tried cutting

Wall Street Bull In a recent interview with MTV, the President indicated that a group called "Americans for Prosperity" were a threat to our Democracy. Now I am so sorry, but when I saw this, I couldn't stop my mind from racing to the thought, "I wonder if the President is against prosperous Americans."

Certainly the events of the Deepwater Horizon explosion, which resulted in the loss of life and oil spilling into the Gulf waters, was a tragic accident. (By the way, as a side note, why did we see and hear more news on the birds and turtles suffering from the oil slick than we did on the families that lost loved ones and livelihoods?) Of course, this accident most likely would not have happened
