The state of North Dakota has named a new publicly-owned landfill after President Barack Obama. In an overwhelming 35-10 vote, the state Senate advanced a bill naming a 650-acre site currently under construction after the nation’s 44th president. Governor Jack Dalrymple is expected to sign the measure into law Tuesday. When completed, the Barack Obama Memorial Landfill will be the largest waste disposal site in North Dakota, and the 17th largest in the United States. It will be especially rich in toxic waste from the local petroleum and medical industries. “We wanted to do something to honor the president,” says...

Our Declaration of Independance in its first sentance, includes "it becomes neccessary to dissolve the political bands" will take on a new meaning startng February 27. There is a movement afoot to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Rick Santelli's tea party rant on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, live on CNBC television, which had the effect of spurring thousands, and then millions to form Tea Parties all across America, by re-registration of Tea Party members from Republican to indeependant.It is believed that a sudden drop of more than millions of GOP registrations will send a message to the...

Many have truly lost interest in the Republican primary and its "candidates." None appear fully acceptable, all have major faults and excess baggage that could easily cause them to lose to an absolutely unre-electable sitting president. While polls are often flawed and many are absolutely biased, I have seen a consistent trend that any particular GOP candidate VS Obama consistently loses, given a choice between "Any Republican" and Obama, the Republican wins handily. What this means is that the majority of voters, about 75% in the GOP in fact, are totally unhappy with the choices offered. It is my considered...

I'm surprised this SNL sexual harassment PSA parody has not yet resurfaced, given the current Cain news. It's hilarious:

Milton Freidman made Phil Donahue look like a complete fool (mot a difficult task, even then)in this film clip of an interview from about 1980. It is particularly applicable to todays economy, and should be force fed to all OWS freaks when they finally get sense enough to come in out of the cold....

Electability is important. Less important is what Republican Party intelligentsia deems "electable." With primary season heating up, in both the race for president and other offices, we would do well to examine what kind of candidate is or isn't electable. If it were solely up to what we'll generically call the Republican Establishment, electability rankings might go as follows: 1. Incumbents 2. Moderate-to-liberal Republicans with their own campaign money 3. Moderate-to-liberal Republicans without their own campaign money 4. "Anybody? Really, is there anyone else who will run? Please." 5. Conservatives The thinking is that candidates without strong ideological stances will...

Truth VS Politician version It just all depends on how you look at some things... Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Congressman Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory: On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent...

Yes, say Republicans, as they assess Carter's weaknesses For several decades, it has been an article of faith among politicians and political analysts that no candidate can win a U.S. presidential election unless he can dominate the broad center of the spectrum, that all candidates on the edges of the left or right are doomed. Barry Goldwater's "extremism . . . is no vice" campaign of 1964 provides the classic evidence, reinforced by George McGovern's 1972 defeat in 49 out of 50 states. And since G.O.P. Front Runner Ronald Reagan relies upon a base of support that is on the...

The film grossed between $60,000 to $75,000 after opening in 10 theaters this weekend, leading its backers to call it a success. The Sarah Palin documentary Undefeated opened in 10 theaters this weekend and earned about $60,000 to $75,000 -- leading its backers to tell The Hollywood Reporter it was a success. "We didn't put a nickel of P&A into this and the distributor had the movie for only three weeks. To describe this as anything but a hit is inaccurate,” director-writer Stephen Bannon said on Sunday. "This is a documentary opening against Harry Potter on the toughest weekend of...

.An effort to turn 13 southern California counties into the nation's 51st state took a small step forward Tuesday but remains an extremely long shot, say experts. Four members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to allow a fifth member to convene a statewide meeting on the subject in the fall. Each of the four supervisors stated their objections to the secession idea, but went ahead and approved the idea of at least talking about it when Supervisor Jeff Stone said he would “personally see to it” that private funding, not public money, would be used to...

Below is a "Letter to the Editor" of the Missoulian of Missoula, MT regarding a performance presented on Jan. 23, 2011: Open letter to MCT director Curt Olds: First I would like to compliment you and the entire staff of "The Mikado" on the beautiful sets, costuming and professional performance we experienced on Sunday, Jan. 23. However, I must call you on something that was inserted into the play which I am almost positive was not in the original book. The comments made in such a cavalier and oh-so-humorous way were uncalled for. Now, I realize you play to a...

There being just over five weeks before the most important general election of the century, there is much that each of us can do. I speak as a member-elect of the Republican Central Committee of San Bernardino County, California. Yes, I was elected in the primary here, along with several other Tea Party people, whose primary concerns is to bring true reform to the GOP by our dedication to the future of the USA, and we have, although not yet a majority, enough votes on the RCC to pass much of anything, we are able to muster enough votes to...

The Mojave Cross has been torn down again!The day after Memorial Day the Mojave National Preserve has removed the cross erected the day prior. The seven foot cross made of PVC pipe was erected as a War Memorial on Monday, May 31, 2010 during a celebration of Memorial Day and the Mojave Cross. At noon today a call came from the site that the cross has been removed again! Most of the small wooden crosses inscribed with the name of a fallen American hero were wedged into crevices of the rock and are still there today.-snip-

A small convoy of vehicles, in everything from old pick-up trucks to a stretch limo, with about thiry passengers total, left Victorville for the 130 mile trip to the site of the Mojave Cross, which vandals had torn down and stole a couple weeks ago, after the SCOTUS had ruled that it was not a religious symbol, but a war memorial, and that the box(!) civering it since the suit was filed several years ago. When a replacement was erected, it was immediately taken down by rangers of the Mojave Preserve, contending that since it was not the original cross,...

My dear son; I would like to apologise to you and your children, and their children as well for what you are inheriting in the near future. The generations before me fought and sometimes died for the freedoms that we have had in this great land, known as the United States of America. Due to my generation's inattention, the God given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as delineated in the Declaration of Independance and guaranteed by our foundingfathers when they wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights have shrunk dramatically. I, too, like you, took...
