Third Coldest October on Record
Man, this global warming is really having an effect, isn’t it? According to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), October was the third coldest October on record for the nation as a whole.
What’s happened to all of the global warming? I thought the melting ice caps were going to cause our seaboard cities to disappear by floods by now… Oh wait, that’s right… it’s not global warming anymore; it’s climate change.
New Congressman Breaks Four Campaign Promises in His First Hour in Office
Just a little bit into his first day, Bill Owens (D) started changing his positions on some of the issues he ran his campaign on. Why is this not surprising?
The Republican Revival?
So… Barely ten months into Obama’s presidency, and his approval ratings have tanked, and people are becoming disenfranchised with his policies and strategies. Rush Limbaugh stated that he viewed Obama as a ‘one-term President’ – indicating that the ‘powers that be’ are viewing Obama as a one and done President.
I can see a return to the Republicans here in the near future, but there are a couple of issues that I see with that…
First of all… Isn’t it a little early to claim a Republican victory in the next Presidential election? Shouldn’t we be waiting until at least late 2011 before we start declaring the GOP’s victory over the DNC?
Second… Maybe we should start pushing for a victory over the DNC in the 2010 elections for Congress… Which leads me to my third point…
Do we want a Republican revival? I say no. I don’t believe the Republican Party is any better than the Democratic Party right now. I personally think it would be best if we had a revolution in the Republican Party, returning to the conservative base. What good is changing from a liberal party to a slightly less liberal party?

Firefighter Suspended Because of a Sticker on His Locker… of the US Flag?
An eleven year veteran firefighter in Pennsylvania was suspended without pay because he refused to remove a small sticker of the US Flag from his locker.
This was due to a new policy in place prohibiting stickers or statements on lockers because of recent images that offensive or racist in nature.
OK… this is yet another case where they don’t address the real issue – was the issue really about putting stickers on lockers? Or was it more about racist or offensive images in the workplace? I mean, c’mon! Seriously? Does an American flag offend anyone here in the US? Since when would a US flag be considered offensive in the US??? (excluding, of course, the people within the US that hate the US… I don’t really care too much about them. I think we should put flags everywhere for the sole purpose of offending them…)
Like the firefighter, James Krapf, said, “It’s the American flag, we should be able to fly it wherever we want…”
Even the moon… Oh wait… did that offend anyone? Tough luck, we got there first – finders keepers.
Senate Committee Approves Health Care Plan
With support from a lone Republican, a key Senate committee Tuesday approved a middle-of-the-road health care plan that moves President Barack Obama’s goal of wider and affordable coverage a giant step closer to becoming law.
Health care legislation is expected to be on the Senate floor the week after next, said a spokesman for Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. But it won’t be the Baucus bill. Reid will combine the Finance version with a more liberal proposal from the health committee — with unpredictable results.
The vote in the Finance Committee was 14-9, with Snowe joining all 13 Democrats in support. In a sign of long political battles ahead, every other Republican voted against it.
At least there’s some glimmer of hope… It only passed in the committee 14-9, and all but one Republican voted against it. Unfortunately, we’re going to need every vote we can against the health care bill…
