Written by Michael Vass Maybe it’s me but I wonder what PETA is going to say about a recent article by AFP on how pets are the next global warming (or are they using the new ‘climate change’ slogan) problem that needs to be solved?

Written by Michael Vass TIME has come out with the person of the year for 2009. But before I comment on that, I want to review the thinking of TIME. In looking at their runner-up House Speaker Nancy Pelosi I think we can see exactly what TIME was trying to do. Make a political statement, [...]

Car salesmen are more ethical than Congress

admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:03:07 +0000

Written by Michael Vass Oh the shock of it. Gallup just released a new annual poll that asked who is more ethical and trustworthy. Choices included nurses, doctors, policemen, stockbrokers, lawyers, car salesmen and politicians. One guess who was at the bottom of the list. Yes, Congress scored the lowest rating. It would seem that America views [...]

Written by Michael Vass Another thought I had about the new $150 billion proposal that President Obama has just announced (see Cash for Refridgerators is as bad an idea as Obama Stimulus version 2 for more) - which is an Obama Stimulus part 2 in all but a name.

The Obama Stimulus - now it makes sense
