Opportunity Lost

So remember how periodically the idea of making I-70 a toll road to fund needed repairs was floated?  And every time it was shot down?  Well, apparently the opportunity to do so was left to die on the vine because we could have done it, and the legislature didn’t act.  Now they are rattling the […]

Missouri parole board played word games during hearings with inmates

This is one of the most appalling stories related to incarceration and parole I think I’ve ever read.  I cannot imagine what it would feel like to have paid for my crimes (especially if it was addiction related) only to have to endure this kind of degradation at the hands of court officers.  It is […]

Sexist?

Someone managed to put together enough words to write a column for the Huffington Post accusing Lindsay (point: that is a girl name, so how can he be sexist?) Graham of making a sexist remark about Nancy Pelosi.  When there is so much to say about her, going sexist would be unnecessary, but this astute […]

Thank You Big Government

Why is it I always feel a little less free when big government bureaucrats say they are going to protect me, or something I have, do or want, by regulating me or it?  I caught that the drum beat for an open internet was a ruse perpetrated by an agency made up of government appointees […]

Gimmie Gimmie

Periodically I find myself absolutely incensed that a portion of the money I labor for is summarily taken by the government and redistributed by some faceless bureaucrat to people they believe are entitled to a share of my earnings.   Furthermore, I take offense that while it’s my “patriotic duty” to tithe to the government for the […]

Brownies?

Just the word implies racist connotations and I cannot believe they didn’t change it to “radical ‘less politically incorrect benign name’” since they are founded on a phony “social justice” concept.  The innane co-founder of this absurd Brownie troop spin-off said they aren’t telling the girls what to think.  No, they’re just letting these young […]

Obama to unveil tax package at State of the Union

I can only assume Obama is hoping that by pre-infuriating me with his release of snippets, he thinks I’ll have wound down by the time he actually delivers his plans for further socializing our fair Republic. So far, we know that part of the master plan involves providing additional benefits-free childcare and college-to some Americans […]

Privacy

It makes no sense to me why, when there is no evidence that employee “wellness programs” work, they are being foisted down the throats of American workers.  My wife declined to participate in her workplace wellness program, refused to go to the website and fill out their questionnaire.  No, they may not draw her blood […]

Rob Peter to pay Paul

This will get some media attention from those on the left, and I agree there’s something special about people on social security disability-those “most vulnerable”-who claim back injury and then belly up to the trough to suck the teat into perpetuity.  I’d argue the program could be easily cut in half, probably reduced even more […]

Surviving a police encounter

These days even the minimally aware among us are buying the media talking points and are under the impression that police are gunning for those they have sworn to serve and protect.  This is especially true for black citizens who, if you are to believe the media, leave the house every day with targets on […]
