This one’s going to take several rounds of darts… Omahan Jeremy Nordquist just keeps coming to our attention because Nebraska’s two largest newspapers seem to have him on speed dial. If there’s a need to get a quote from someone on the opposite side of an issue from a Republican, or there’s a big spending [...]
Fred Thompson, former Tennessee Senator, sleepy Presidential candidate, and actor has been hawking government subsidized mortgages. Hello? Has Mr. Thompson heard of the whole Fannie / Freddie / Ginnie / CRA thing? The meltdown, the bailout…? Apparently Fred was half-asleep then, too.
Thanks to Erick Brockway, aka TowDog, for his post “‘Alleged’ Cleveland Tourism Board Fail”: The “tourism” videos are a riot (warning: a bit ‘o language in there) – especially if you’ve ever been to certain parts of Detroit.

A quick look at how we spend our money reveals that welfare (“entitlement”) programs comprise over 50% of the budget.

Posted by Shellinda: As a couple of Americans who have spent too much time focused on Washington, D.C. and not enough within our state (but making an effort to change this), we wonder whether the maneuvers regarding a certain piece of legislation introduced last session is common practice in the Nebraska Unicameral. We suspect it [...]
It’s time for some campaignin’…entertaining to be sure, but I think it’s worth a look beyond the entertainment value. This video is funny because it contains truth. The trouble is, the truth in political jokes are on us…the voters. How DID we end up with those two candidates? It’s more than a little freaky that [...]
We’ve not spoken much about faith on this site, but the more we look at solutions to the many problems we’re confronting, we discover we can’t do this alone. In order to do many of the things that we’ve already done, it’s required additional strength. There is a bit of momentum of late – we [...]
