What Debt Ceiling?
Filed Under Idiocy, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
It puzzles me mightily how a debt “ceiling” authorizing ever more government borrowing can be called a ceiling if it is automatically raised every time borrowing gets near to it.
Help!!! I need someone in Congress or at least Washington, D.C. to explain this to me.

Separate Seating Preferred
Filed Under Liberty, Suggestions, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
The parties should sit separately at the State of the Union speech as they have done traditionally. It is beneficial for the citizens viewing and hearing the speech to see what positions are backed and which are opposed, and by whom.

Filed Under Language and Censorship, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
The attempt to censor and re-write Mark Twain’s classics Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn so as to eliminate the word “Nigger” from Twain’s “Nigger Jim” and the word “Injun” from “Injun Joe” is a literary and cultural travesty. To somehow deny that this language was common usage at the time of Tom and Huck’s […]
