Chevy Trucks: The Real Truth

By now you've probably seen those Chevy ads proclaiming that their trucks are the "most dependable, longest-lasting trucks on the road". As a long standing, strongly-biased Ford fan, I'm here to - confirm their claims?!

3 Reasons the “Ground Zero Mosque” Debate Makes No Sense

Please go and read the article yourself, but for your convenience, here is a synopsis: 1) They don't want to build it at "ground zero", 2) It isn't a Mosque, and 3) Far from being illegal, the Bill of Rights protects their ability to build it. Amen, Gladstone.

The Good News Is...

Most Americans now see B. Hussein Obama is NOT what this country needed... The bad news is he still has 45% fooled.

Dear KBB,

The Second-Best Day of 2010

It's sunny, seasonably warm but not hot, the Friday before a 3 day weekend, and my fiancee returns from a 3 day school trip... what's not to love?

Another Embarrassment...

It seems there is no end to the embarrassing revelations of hypocritical influential Christians these days. The latest is Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) who is "an evangelical Christian who has championed family values and traditional marriage" and "promoted abstinence education" according to Yahoo.

Health Care "Reform"

...Isn't even enacted yet and the government is already admitting it will cost up to $115 BILLION more than the budget office previously predicted. I'm not in the least bit surprised that its going to cost more than they told us originally, but they're coming out with it already?! The fact that they're already telling us they were lying ("well not really...") makes me wonder if they're just trying to make us less surprised when they tell us next year its actually going to cost $2 Trillion... Oh, and they "simply didn't have enough time to run the numbers"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well maybe you shouldn't have passed it through so fast you... well I want to keep this G-rated...

Libertarians call for more finance industry freedom

WASHINGTON - Libertarian Party Executive Director Wes Benedict issued the following statement today, regarding the financial regulation legislation in Congress:
"The Libertarian Party opposes the legislation currently in Congress. Instead of removing harmful regulations that reduce competition, create winners and losers, and stifle the choices of consumers and financial firms, this legislation merely adds to that heap of regulations.

"It is remarkable that so many people have blamed the banking and financial company failures on the 'free market.' The American finance industry is probably the most regulated industry in human history. It doesn't remotely resemble a free market, and that's been true for many decades. It would be much more accurate to blame the failures on government interference.
