Haven't actually read it yet, but wanted to make it available to all of us.

Okay, now I've read it.  It's actually quite funny at the end (re. horses).

did have to use horses instead of vehicles because the country's remoteness in trying to find Osama. (This was a few years ago) I'll look for it.

I caught the Obama slip-up by Shieffer. Oops! But then, again, he's not the first one that did that. The first names are just too close in pronouncement.

Barack Obama's campaign says his recovery has outpaced Ronald Reagan's in job creation Politifact.com Stephanie Cutter, a top Obama campaign aide, said the jobs recovery has been bigger under Barack Obama than under Ronald Reagan. Is that correct? (...) Our ruling Even using Cutter’s cherry-picked formulation, job creation under Obama has dramatically trailed the pace set by Reagan. In fact, adjusting for the size of the workforce, Reagan’s recovery was more tha ...

Scopes, Which Will Do The Fact Checking (censor?) ForDec 18, 2016
almost. Almost all of the writers churning out fact checks for Snopes have a liberal background, and many of them have expressed contempt for Republican voters. The Daily Caller could not identify a single Snopes fact-checker who comes from a conservative background. Snopes did not respond to a list of questions from TheDC regarding the site’s ideological leaning. At least two of the site’s fact-checkers joined Snopes after writing for Raw Story, a far-left publication that describes ...

Fact Checking Obama's Budget SpeechApr 22, 2011
Some very interesting info in this article.  President Barack Obama misrepresented the House Republicans’ budget plan at times and exaggerated its impact on U.S. residents during an April 13 speech on deficit reduction. Obama claimed the Republicans’ "Path to Prosperity" plan would cause "up to 50 million Americans … to lose their health insurance.” But that worst-case figure is based in part on speculation and assumptions. He said the GOP plan would repla ...

Last Night Republican DebateJan 27, 2012

I Was Disappointed In Last Night's Debate.Oct 14, 2015
I would have liked to have heard more from O'Malley and Webb. Instead, it was the Bernie and Hillary sideshow. All I heard was more of the same regarding socialism, free stuff, etc. Also, when Bernie stood up for Hillary regarding her emails, her cackle made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. That woman's vibe is seriously flawed. It looks like I may be voting for a Republican this time unless there is a better alternative. ...

My Opinion On Last Night's Debate Is That It Was A Draw ButOct 17, 2012
a lot of antics went on that were against the rules.   1.  When I could see the timer, I noted that Obama ran over his time a lot, yet nothing was said at first. Candy let him ramble on and on. It was only when they got short of time, she started to stop him from going any further; yet, he insisted in talking over her.  She did stop Romney when he ran over his time more than once and he did stop. 2. Obama did not follow the subject questions with direct answers. He answers were ...

Checking Acct Overdraft Question. Mar 01, 2015
I accidently wrote a large check from my acct instead of someone else's. A week(!) after the overdraft, I received the notice online. I have been charged $35 three times a day for 1 week.

Tried finding info online, but keep getting routed to their overdraft protection services sign-up page. Thanks for any info. ...

Interesting Checking On Syria And Iran Building A Naval StationOct 23, 2012
All the pundits, news bloggers, etc. are making fun of Romney's comment on Iran and Syria. I was curious, so looked up a map of the Syria and the relationship between Syria and Iran. It sits on the Mediterranean Sea. So, no problem with Iran building a naval station in Syria. It gives Iran 2 ways to get to the open ocean and since Iran and Syria are bestest buddies, it makes sense. It would also give Iran and Syria access to missles being able to hit our allies since Iran's missles wo ...

My Take On The Debate. SmOct 14, 2015
I was struck last night by the huge difference in what we can infer about the nature of Bernie's and Hillary's thought processes while they were processing the challenging questions that Anderson Cooper threw out at them individually. Hillary's demeanor reminded me of one of those canned Miss America Pageant contestant types whom you can tell is so focused on searching her memory bank for a previously stored 'good answer' that the importance of the issue itself was tota ...

Okay, so here it is. I have a very good friend who is expecting.

She wants to start buying diapers now so she has a few packs/boxes to start with when the baby arrives. Sh ...

I'm So Tired Of The Tax Debate!May 14, 2010
Tax the rich more....tax the poor less, etc.  It is my opinion that if you tax the rich more, it won't help that much considering there are so many loopholes in the tax code that I'm sure the rich will find a way to get out of paying more taxes.  Why don't we just do a flat tax.  That will eliminate the loopholes.  Simple and easy...probably why they won't do it though.  They need something confusing so the crooks in the world can get out of paying ta ...
