Well, that is the message that Eric Cantor wants to convey. To him, political talking points trump helping fellow American citizens recover from a disaster. I will have to give Cantor one thing. At least, he has been consistent all along. Takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to say to one’s own constituents that it… [Read more…]

Federal agents of a Republican president seized newspapers published by a Democratic newspaper. I guess that is what the Republicans really mean about taking us back to a better time.

On Jan 1st, a tax break that amounts to 2% of one’s payroll will expire. Unlike the Bush tax cuts, the GOP have no plans to extend it for another year. By the very definitions used by the GOP and tea party, this is a tax increase. This is a tax increase the affects the… [Read more…]

The good prosecutor of Indianapolis, who promised to clean up the prosecutor’s office, dropped charges against a company that was buy stolen goods. Yes sir, in Indianapolis, one can pay $300,000 (20% of which goes to the prosecutor’s office) to just make charges go away.

If we are going to have to stop paying certain debts because Congress is incapable of doing its job, I say one of the first things to go on the chopping block should be all entitlements such as Social Security, Medicare, and so on. If you voted for these nimrods, you should suffer the consequences… [Read more…]

This time, our favorite activist judges decided that generic drug manufacturers are not held to the same standard as brand name manufacturers. No sir, we can’t let things like killing and crippling people interfere with the holy grail of profit at any cost. With this ruling, if I was running a pharmaceutical company, I would… [Read more…]
