- February 21, 2012 - Chi Town Gets Gas Break - The Chicago area, which usually leads the nation's highest gas prices, is getting a break at the pump. - Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, says Chicago's apparent discounted gas prices are partly due to local refineries clearing out the winter blend gas to make room for cleaner-burning summer blend. - "Prices across Chicago continue to buck the national trend and have gone down in the last week," said DeHaan. "The national average has gone up 5 cents last week and Chicago dropped about 9 cents a gallon last... More →

- February 19, 2012 - Muslim Warned Us - As reported at Gatewaypundit: On May 10, 2008, Sheik Muhammad ABu Al Qat said on TV, "let me bring good tidings to the Muslims: Allah willing, the American empire will very soon collapse...This won’t happen as a result of war. Not at all. Allah will send to America an American Gorbachev, from within. Gorbachev, who brought about the USSR collapse, was one of them. Everybody knows this story. An American Gorbachev will surface in America, and he will destroy this... More →
- February 18, 2012 - For It, But They Don't Want to Pay It - As orthodox Catholic author Steve Kellmeyer points out (in americanthinker.com): - On the one hand, the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) is attacking Obama for forcing them (the bishops) to pay for contraception. On the other hand, the USCCB is pushing forward the idea that taxpayers should pay to extend unemployment insurance (again). - And that's just the beginning of the rich irony. You see, almost none of the parishes in the United States pay unemployment insurance. They get dispensed from the mandate to do so because they are religious organizations. So, if you are employed by a Catholic parish and you get laid off, so long, sucker. You can't collect unemployment because your bishop hasn't paid into unemployment for you.... - Read more:... More →
- February 17, 2012 - Uh Oh - This note from Zerohedge blog: - while we know that total debt to GDP is already over 100% and unlikely to ever decline back to double digits, thus putting into question the marginal utility of debt to generate further economic growth, another just as important question is what is the incremental utility of tax revenue relative to debt issuance, i.e., is America now issuing more debt than it is collecting from tax revenues: a step which would further cement its status as a banana debt...

- February 15, 2012 - Not Prepped for This - Sipsey Street Irregulars blog has this item: - "Just days after appearing on the National Geographic TV Show Doomsday Prepper, a prepper from Tennessee has been declared Mentally Defective and his guns have been seized by the government." His first mistake? -- Going on TV and expecting anything different than what he got. Not that this isn't an outrage, just... More →
By Georgeann King, on January 27th, 2012 Although pundits last night said Gingrich didn’t help himself in the debate and Romney did, they seemed about equal from my viewpoint. Neither one hit it out of the park. Santorum did, at times. Ron Paul had his charm, but he still looks like the one you’d X out when asked who doesn’t belong in [...] [...]
By Georgeann King, on January 14th, 2012 WMPS the Point radio host Mark Skoda has written a piece at americanthinker.com entitled “South Carolina Can Settle the 2012 Un-Civil War.” In it, he argues that Republicans should just lie back and let Romney win the primaries. Skoda recounts that he’s been to the primaries in New Hampshire and saw “people fired up” over Romney. [...] [...]
By Georgeann King, on January 8th, 2012 How is it we Republicans find ourselves about to nominate a person who is the Father of Obamacare, a disciple of global warming, a Wall Street capitalist who put thousands out of a job and a flip flopper on abortion? Are we daft or lemmings? It’s hard to believe it may happen. But, according [...] [...]
By Georgeann King, on January 2nd, 2012 Again, what’s going on in Virginia? (See earlier post.) Twenty four hours after State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli decried Virginia’s primary ballot of just Ron Paul and Mitt Romney – and he vowed to open it to all the candidates – he reversed his stance. Now he says the law must stand and that it will remain [...] [...]
By Georgeann King, on December 21st, 2011 If you listen to the pundits the Republican primary presidential race is in disarray. Cain has tumbled, Newt is cratering, Romney is stagnant, Paul is a nightmare, the rest are second rate. What to do? First, turn off the news where new polls are trumpeted every hour. Certainly the polls that had Cain sweeping the nation [...] [...]
By Georgeann King, on November 22nd, 2011 Governor Rick Perry has written an op ed in today’s Washington Times calling for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign. [...]
By Georgeann King, on November 10th, 2011 They say things are bigger in Texas and Gov. Rick Perry may have proved that last night at the debate. Perry made the biggest debate error in recent history when he couldn’t recall the third government agency he would eliminate. It was a brain freeze of massive proportions and one that the public will not soon [...] [...]

By Georgeann King, on October 27th, 2011 Uber conservative radio host and author Mark Levin talked about Perry’s flat tax plan on his radio show. “I was thrilled when I took a close look at this proposal,” he said. “Rick Perry appears to be starting to find his legs. This program he’s come up with is a great program. Perry has [...] [...]
By Georgeann King, on October 26th, 2011 According to the Congressional Budget Office, under Rick Perry’s plan the economy would be 3.5 trillion bigger than under the CBO’s estimate of current growth. Economist James Pethokoukis says “it far outpaces the CBO economy.” [...]
