There are now 30 some bills in the Capitol for controlling the internet. The empire will not allow uncontrolled access to information.
ECONOMY:
Obama spokesman says people dropping out of the economy is good economic news.
TAX AND SPEND:
Congress passed a new tax on mortgages to pay for the payroll tax cut. The tax cut will go away. The new tax will not.
REGULATION:
If you have big windows or an outside cat, the feds think you are in violation of the migratory bird regulations.
Patents are always about killing competition. Patent owners only settle for licensing when they fear they can't kill it.
GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:
Obama's EPA writes new CAFE rules much more expensive than his original CAFE rules.
Gas versus water.
POLICE STATE:
Prosecutors reject rape charges against son of police chief. This may or may not serve justice, but don't think for a second that if a woman charges with rape, no matter how much the evidence contradicts her, prosecutors will do the same for you. Regular guys get prosecuted regardless of how obvious it is they are innocent, and they generally get convicted no matter how obvious it is they are innocent.
It's a sad commentary on the American people that they no longer care to listen to police radio. I know most people think I'm a fool for even bringing this up, but when the government hides its actions from the people, they people won't care until their door is kicked in a government agent kills their dog and sticks a gun in the faces of them and their children. I would rather see a voice recognition system that listened to police radio and warned people when the government was going to attack them. Too bad Microsoft patented and killed that technology. But those patents are expiring about now.
WAR:
A war by war history of how the US government has staged events and drawn other nations into war.
US drone attack kills eight in attack on family home in Afghanistan. That probably motivated 100 more Muslims to come to America and kill Americans. Or maybe not. Maybe Our government's aggression has already motivated every Muslim to come here and kill us.
FOREIGN POLICY:
US and NATO aggression against Qaddafi has led the disappearance of thousands of shoulder-fired missiles. You can be sure those missiles will kill Americans. As always, US government aggression has endangered Americans and will result in American deaths. With a government like ours, who needs enemies?
POLITICS:
Remember all those people who supposedly voted for Romney because he was the most electable? A new poll shows Obama over 50 percent against Romney. Romney is the least electable Republican because his record the record of a Democrat.
Reuters poll show Ron Paul closing in fast on Romney who now leads 29 to 21 percent. Wow. This makes all the shenanigans with the vote counts primary after primary seem way more significant.
Obama fails to submit budget on time again in another example of the lawlessness of the Obama administration.
Where would the Obamas and Romneys of the world be without the support of useful idiots?
MEDIA:
Isn't past time that Sean Hannity and Rudy Giuliani stormed the beaches of Iran, leading a volunteer army they paid for themselves? Apparently not. They want other Americans to pay to send yet more Americans to their deaths in Iran.
LOCAL:
The government is setting up a straw-man to distract us from how many people it kills on its socialized roads every year. This is so incredibly blatant. This comparison makes no sense except as a distraction. It's like comparing apples to modern art. Why not compare car accidents to hair cuts. I think people get way more hair cuts than die on government roads too.
MISC:
Everybody and their brother is telling Colts owner Jim Irsay what to do. The vast majority believe he's already decided to draft Stanford QB Andew Luck #1. Some think he'll jettison Peyton Manning. Some think he'll keep both. I might as well weigh in. What nobody is saying is that either way, he would be a fool, and I doubt he became an NFL owner by being a fool. (Then again, Daniel Snyder is unmistakably a football fool.) Let's look at it from an engineers point of view. A football team has 11 moving parts in a unit. Eleven on offense, defense and special teams. What we learned this season - which I have said was true for a decade - is all of those moving pieces suck except Peyton Manning. The Colts minus Peyton Manning are not a couple of players away from being great. They're a 2-14 team. They are a dozen or more players away from being great. Andrew Luck is supposedly worth a dozen draft picks. If Jim Irsay wants to win, there's only one intelligent decision he can make: trade down. Trade down and keep trading. Irsay can draft a nearly a dozen players in the first three rounds if he trades down and keeps trading down. It doesn't get any better than that. No one player is worth that. Trade down. With that much talent, he would win a Super Bowl with me playing quarterback. But most likely, he'll have Peyton Manning and all that talent. I will be stunned if the Colts draft Andrew Luck instead of trading down because I don't believe Jim Irsay is that stupid. Peyton Manning wants to remain a Colt. Colt fans want him to remain a Colt. That gives Irsay leverage. Irsay should renegotiate a lower contract with Manning, sign him for five more years or so at a lower cap hit, and he should sign a dozen new players who will kick ass in the NFL. If Irsay takes this route, they would win three or four more Super Bowls together. My money is on Irsay to trade down.
