Seen the latest about corn prices? And now, the rest of the story….

By Dimsdale / September 13, 2011 /

All morning long, one of the lead stories in the morning news is that corn prices are going to rise due to smaller harvests, and from that, the price of virtually everything that uses corn, from cattle feed to Coke will see a price rise. What you don’t see is many (or any) references to…

Øbama’s illegal alien uncle “quietly released”

By Dimsdale / September 9, 2011 /

Onyango Obama, the uncle of the president recently arrested for drunken driving was “quietly released” from jail yesterday, according to the Boston Globe. Apparently, he was released as a first test case for the new “backdoor amnesty” the administration announced last month, according to the Washington Times. Surely, it is just a coincidence that it…

Do conservatives “hate science”?

By Dimsdale / September 5, 2011 /

Who really hates science?  The left constantly screams from their talking points about how the right is “anti science” etc., particularly in light of the recent kerfuffles with teaching evolutionary or climate change theory.  But who is actually responsible for the decline in our student’s performance in sciences and math compared to other nations as…

Øbama’s implementation of the “DREAM” Act

By Dimsdale / August 24, 2011 /

As SOS noted in an earlier post, Øbama has seen fit to unilaterally implement the so called “DREAM” Act through an executive order.  It is glaringly obvious – dare I say transparent – that a very desperate Øbama, with poll numbers in the toilet and an administration full of so called “experts” ineffectively flailing at…

The genius of the Øbama NLRB bureaucracy

By Dimsdale / August 12, 2011 /

It appears that Øbama’s NLRB is running amok in more than one place. I dug up this little gem this morning from the Internet: NLRB Pursuing Dead or Alive Policy, from the West Virginia’s The Intelligencer, Wheeling News-Register.

English Riots: Coming to a city near you?

By Dimsdale / August 11, 2011 /

I just read a superb article about the causes of the riots in England. It is titled “Years of liberal dogma have spawned a generation of amoral, uneducated, welfare dependent, brutalized youngsters.”  It is worth a read.

Social media: Basis for new criminal activity, or outlet for old?

By Dimsdale / August 11, 2011 /

Recently, there has been an upsurge of social media fueled uprisings across the globe.  Depending on your perspective, they are either good (presumably the “Arab Spring”) or bad (the flash mob riots sweeping this and other countries). Given the recent senseless,”flash mob” violence mentioned by Jim on the show, you have to ask: how far…

Why don’t politicians have fundraisers for the country instead of themselves?

By Dimsdale / August 3, 2011 /

Recently, all we hear are complaints from elected politicians about how hard it is to “find” money to fund their spending. Isn’t it time that politicians thought more about the country than getting their privileged, lard-laden hindquarters reelected, particularly this early in the election cycle?

Retroactive taxes: Violation of ex post facto precedents in the law?

By Dimsdale / August 2, 2011 /

Jim was talking about Governor Malloy’s retroactive taxes today, and it raised the question of whether this is even legal, not to mention moral.
