Am I Missing Something?...

...or did B. Hussein O. not promise to get us on a path OUT of Iraq and Afganistan? Yet now, here we are in 2011 with military spending higher than ANY year of the King George administration (!), and O thinks the Republican proposal to increase military spending "only" 1-2% isn't nearly enough! Seriously?!

You Might be Crazy, but You're Not Wrong

Did you know that the Pentagon once listed [Aspartame] in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons submitted to Congress? Or that the FDA unanimously rejected it in 1980, only approving it after the wheels were greased by some shady dealings, including some ramrodding by Donald Rumsfeld himself?

If that doesn't carry enough weight by itself, Cracked.com has several more government conspiracies for you, all of which contain credible sources.

Ben Franklin Wasn't Kidding

When he said "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." I'd add that they end up without either as well.

Did You Know?

That the 200 Million gallons of oil spilled after the deepwater horizon disaster is an amount so large that it takes the entire U.S. nearly - oh... um... whats that? less than 6 HOURS to burn?

This is Hilarious

Oh, how those cold-hearted Republicans leave "Main Street" out in the cold while cozying up to the corporate fat-cats. That's why, when we elected a Democratic house, senate, and president 2 years ago, things have been looking up for the poor and downtrodden... oh wait, no. Actually, the uneducated, jobless, and low-income Americans are worse off while the investors and corporations are better off. Not that a Republican administration would have had better results, of course. Thisadpaidforbythewhyyoushouldvotelibertariancommittee(yourstruly)andnotauthorizedbyanycandidateorcandidate'scommittee.

Why is This Even News?

Social security recipients are getting no raise this year! Oh, no!! Our seniors are going to die in poverty! At least, that's what the headline writers want you to think. Oh, wait. They aren't getting a raise because inflation hasn't gone up... and they got the biggest raise in a quarter century in 2009, due to the high energy prices in '08 - which promptly free fell and left them with a tidy sum. So let me get this straight, people are complaining about no raise, even though they recently got - and kept! - a huge raise right before energy costs dropped through the floor and erased the need for the large size of the raise... and inflation has been practically nil since then.

Quasi-Libertarianism in Action:

Gene Cranick of rural Obion County in Tennesee had the opportunity to pay $75 per year for fire department coverage from the nearby city of South Fulton. He was mailed a letter every year at renewal time, and even got a follow-up phone call when he didn't send in his $75 by the due date. "I thought they'd come out and put it out, even if you hadn't paid your $75, but I was wrong" he says. Now he and many others are upset that the FD let his house burn to the ground. He even says he offered to pay the full costs of putting out the fire if the FD would come out, but was told it was too late.

5 Ways to Revitalize the Republic

Michael Moore, that lovable (depending on whom you ask) buffoon (also depending on who you ask) has come out with 5 ways the Democrats can avoid catastrophe at the polls this November. In response, I've drafted 5 better positions they can take that, while they may not guarantee instant success this election, will certainly be successes for "we the people":
