Where’s My Yacht?

A yacht in Lorient, Bretagne, France

While I was pedalling into work this morning, I was listening to the morning show on KBOI radio. The talk of the day was all about “free” cell phones and other government waste. Wow. I had no idea how stupid this phone program is. Really opened my eyes.

The original intent of the program was to provide lower income families with a phone for emergencies, and so that they could look for work or be contacted by potential employers or temporary job services. The program has actually been in existence for years (so much for the “Obama phone” jokes), and up until recently was not a real waste of time and money.

The Republicans are S.O.L.

Why are they quite obviously losing ground?

Makes ya kinda wonder, doesn’t it?

On Kerry’s first day as head of the State Department, four agents were on hand when he traveled from Washington to Virginia in a limo. That’s 1 more than the State Department posted in Benghazi before the attack that took the lives of four Americans.

Are You Losing Your Health Coverage?

English: President Barack Obama's signature on...

I had a conversation with a liberal a few months ago about Obamacare. I kept asking for him to explain how we’d pay for it, he kept telling me how he was excited a lot of underprivileged people would now have health care. I never got an answer and, needless to say, the “debate” went nowhere.

Well, under the guise of “redistribution of wealth“, it now looks like we’ll have a brand new group of underprivileged folks – those who have worked hard to have health care, and will soon have it stripped from them. Read on…
