A simple publication of an email which had been distributed publicly, a few questions about it, a rather swift expression of displeasure by a paid GOP employee, and our response to it has been generating a lot of interest by way of hits on our site, as we’ve previously reported. Also, we’ve now received a [...]
Thursday’s post, “Tea Party” People: See Anything Wrong With This Email?, has attracted a LOT of traffic, but only one comment so far. In our opinion, however, that comment and our response to it merit more attention from our readers than it’s likely to get if it’s just appended to the original article. For [...]
A snapshot of an email received by GiN’s Norlyn and forwarded to me is included below for readers’ consideration. Norlyn’s included note… “Start here. Note the ‘From’, the speakers, and the ‘paid for by’. Does anyone else see a problem here? Anyone?” Linda and I have the same questions. What say YOU?
“THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else.

I keep hearing the phrase “out of bullets” from pundits who discuss what options might be available to the central planning crowd in dealing with the economy. It would be nice if these planners’ guns would be totally out of bullets. Unfortunately, as long as central planning ideology maintains its firm grip on politicians [...]

For what seems like an extended period, headlines from around the globe seem to have been even more negative than usual. Close to home, we’ve looming tax increases in Lincoln, people who’ve been flooded out of their homes for months in the region, droughts in the south, a nasty debt-ceiling debacle and subsequent credit downgrade, [...]
In what was overall a very thoughtful, well-delivered speech, Sen. Marco Rubio reacted to the passage of the bill increasing the debt ceiling by describing two competing visions for the future of our country. “Patriotic, country-loving Americans can disagree on their future vision of what kind of country we should be.
