SOCIALISM:

Connecticut governor orders card check for unions.

"The orders, his ninth and tenth since taking office in January, will force the state’s 4,000 daycare providers to add over $1 million in dues to union coffers, and remove the right to secret ballot election for these workers by instituting a card check process."

Connecticut will suffer for this decision.

TAX AND SPEND:

The House passed the stop-gap spending bill that was defeated a couple of days ago.

"The latest measure is identical to the defeated bill except that it also would rescind $100 million from a program that provided a $535 million federal loan guarantee to Solyndra LLC, which filed for bankruptcy protection this month."

What are these weirdos doing?

"The dispute carries political risk for Republicans because polls show the public is weary of the rancor that marked previous battles over the budget. Disapproval ratings for Congress are at historic highs, and Republicans are faring worse than Democrats in polls."

What a crock. The public is tired of Congress stealing our money. Republicans are faring badly in polls because their voters want them to stop spending but they won't.

"The higher disapproval ratings for Republicans stem largely from perceptions that Boehner and other party leaders are unwilling to compromise with Democrats on key issues, said Michael Dimock, research director of the Pew Research Center."

More of the same crock. Have you noticed that the press always blames Republicans for not compromising with Democrats, never Democrats for not compromising with Republicans? Have you noticed that compromise always means growing government? There's never any compromise on reducing government. And Republicans keep growing the government despite the direction given them by voters, so claiming they don't compromise is absurd.

REGULATION:

The government plans to seize more control over your pension plan. Just like Obamacare is another step on the road to full blown socialized medicine, this is another step on the road to seizing your retirement money.

HEALTH CARE:

How government and corporations teamed up to foist cold cereal breakfasts on the American people.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

The conservative approach and the adherence to the scientific method by the CERN researchers who claim neutrinos traveled faster than the speed of light is an amazing contrast to global warming pseudo-scientists who make grandiose claims while hiding their data from other scientists so it can't be analyzed.

""When an experiment finds an apparently unbelievable result and can find no artefact of the measurement to account for it, it is normal to invite broader scrutiny....it is good scientific practice," he said."

Somebody tell that to the global warming pseudo-scientists.

Environmentalists want to ban OTC inhalers. And the EPA bans them. This is the government that claims it helps people.

POLITICS:

Obama's approval rating among blacks falls to 58 percent.

Conservative pundits dump Perry.

"The cringe-worthiest moment, by a hair, was when Perry botched what should have been his most potent attack on Mitt Romney’s chronic flip-flopping. As I noted on Twitter when it happened, any random high schooler at the CPAC conference in Washington could have done better than this."

They're upset he stumbled with his words. They don't care about policy. They don't care about substance. They care that he tripped over his tongue. I'm not sure I've ever seen such an impressive demonstration of the shallowness of how we chose elected officials.

MEDIA:

Foxnews's illustrates its bias by how much talking time it gave to the candidates. Ron Paul, despite polling third, got the next to least amount.

A plurality of Americans realize the media is immoral.

LOCAL:

Rust in government water.

"Park Layne has 17 miles of cast iron waterlines that are more than 50 years old and serve 1,648 homes. And the public water system is not filtered."

The EPA says it's not a problem. But imagine if this water was distributed by a private company instead of the government. The EPA would shut it down. It a private company flushed its lines like this, it would be accused of wasting water. This double-standard is a crock. This would never happen in a free market.

MISC:

Trips to the ISS cause astronauts to get blurry vision which they don't report. So we have a bunch of astronauts flying with blurry vision. Great.

World's oldest running car up for auction.
