  • Lest We Forget

    —From On High

  • Solutions To All Our Problems

    —From On High

    From the desk of former Delegate Barnie Day:
    Solving The Budget Crisis

    Forget the $3-per-ton tax credit we give Virginia’s billion-dollar-profit utilities for burning Virginia coal. Forget the billion-dollar rebate we send to localities for taxes they impose. Forget the hundred million dollar fee we pay retailers just for [...]

  • It Isn't Funny Any More

    —From On High

    I always got the biggest kick out of ridiculing those "scientists" who believed - despite all evidence to the contrary - that the globe is warming.

    This goes beyond fun.  And deserves far more than ridicule in response.

    Exile is appropriate.  If not the lash.

    As [...]

  • 59 and Counting

    —Deo Vindice

    This week my 59th birthday passed with the speed of going through a yield sign when you can see the way clearly.  So, now I am 59 years old and counting – to infinity. I’m only a year away from the age of my father, James Albert Bowden, when he died.  [...]

  • HYPERINFLATION

    —Citizen Tom

    We live in frightening times.   I grew up during the Cold War.  We then had good reason to fear the possibility of nuclear warfare.  Nonetheless, few thought we would self-destruct.  Yet that seems to be what I think we are seeing, and I am not the only one. I got the [...]

  • US Chamber Does China's Dirty Work

    —Blue Commonwealth

    Those of us who have been puzzled by the over-the-top opposition of the US Chamber of Commerce to any effort to encourage the development of alternative energy in America, and their ranting against attempts to deal with climate change, may have found the answer in an article by Robert F. [...]

  • Party of No’s Enforcer

    —Where's Eric Cantor?

    I wrote yesterday about the pathetic charade Eric Cantor engaged in over the “doc fix,” the permanent measure to make sure Medicare doesn’t slash payments to doctors.  Cantor and other Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee supported it before, yet for political reasons they decided yesterday  to oppose the [...]

  • Shocking Truth Behind Israeli Atrrocities

    —snapped shot

    Elder over at EOZ has the scoopage.  Israel has been proven once again to inflict unecessary evil and carnage on to the Palestinian Arab peoples.

    It wasn't bad enough that Israel built their suicide-bombing-Apartheid wall, or that they put up homicide-bombing-blockades around the city, or that they forcibly removed the residents' [...]
