More Wal-Mart Bad News

2009-06-04T07:43:00.001-05:00

It Is Weird of Me

2009-05-23T10:46:00.003-05:00

To respect a culture that says killing yourself is the thing to do if you feel you have hurt or let many other people down? There is a something honorable??? about that. Does that make me sick in the head?

More Intrusion Into the Free Market

2009-05-18T15:33:00.002-05:00

Telling car makers what to do should work out just fine. Why listen to the market and what people want. Instead the government will just tell them what they want. That usually works.

With Graduation Rates Stagnant for Decades

2009-05-14T16:28:00.001-05:00

A good use of resources is to make the schools more green. Thanks big government. That should help.

When You Get Caught Lying

2009-05-14T13:05:00.001-05:00

The best way to get out of it is use the common phrase - Bush lied people died. Thanks Pelosi.

Another Obama Flip Flop

2009-05-13T18:58:00.002-05:00

Hold up on the release of the photos. It could do more harm than good. Weird - that is almost what Bush said. It would not be such a big deal to me if he did not have such a strong opinion against the Bush admin on this one.

Carefully Worded Headline

2009-05-08T14:03:00.002-05:00

I wonder if MSM would word the economic news the same way if Bush was still President. I am fairly sure all the same information would be present in the article I just do not think they would make is sound optimistic in the headline.

Obama Shutting Down DC School Vouchers

2009-05-06T18:16:00.003-05:00

Education is so important to Obama yet he shuts down a successful DC school voucher program; hurting those(poor minorities) who support him the most.

Romney Talks Health Care

2009-05-06T08:20:00.002-05:00

He says government is not the answer yet goverment plays a good size role in his Mass. plan. I like you Romney but this does not make sense to me.

Newsweek Does A Piece On Chicago Schools

2009-05-05T18:23:00.002-05:00

Though I do like how they mention we have a lot of charter schools - this city school system is still run by the Union and until they are gone nobody can tell me they truly care about a child's education.

Coca Cola Plans To Reduce Budget By $500 Million A Year

2009-04-22T21:01:00.003-05:00

Obama plans to reduce the federal government budget by $100 million. If Coca Cola can find a way to chop $500 million don't you think the government could do better?

How CNN Covered Obama and Chavez Meeting

2009-04-18T13:38:00.003-05:00

Weird how they did not mention what that book Chavez gave Obama is about. Chavez - a man who said the US would soon fall. Called our previous President the devil on our own soil. And are new President shakes his hand, smiles, and accepts a book that talks about American Imperialism. And I guess we are all okay with this. Sweet.

Journalism is still dead!

2009-04-16T14:17:00.002-05:00

Disrespectful and childish. If they did not view themselves as professionals I would not be as upset. But come on. Teabagging jokes over and over.

Right Wing Extremists?

2009-04-15T13:05:00.002-05:00

So right under the story about tax tea party protests is this story about right wing extremists. First, I do not fully understand how Nazi's are right wing extremists. Second I find it very interesting that this story is promoted on the day of the tax protests.

Is Sarah Palin Still Running For Vice-President

2009-04-09T09:29:00.001-05:00

On CNN.com there are 3 stories with Sarah Palin in the headline. For someone who has been just working as a governor in the state of Alaska MSM seems awfully concerned with her. Why I ask?

More Blatant MSM Bias

2009-03-29T11:28:00.002-05:00

When Palin was running for Vice President MSM not only went after her but her kids as well. Now there is some claims about Vice President Biden's daughter. Cannot find these claims on MSM. Have to go to other sources. If these claims were being made about Palin's daughter it would be all over the place. What hypocricy.

So What Do You Do When The Auto Market Is Hurting

2009-03-27T09:49:00.001-05:00

See If You Start School Later in the Day

2009-03-20T15:10:00.002-05:00

....students will get more sleep and be better prepared for the next day. Weird - I just thought they would stay up later at night.

It is Nice to see This Man Speak Publicly

2009-03-17T14:50:00.002-05:00

I wish he would more.

Gun Control?

2009-03-12T15:05:00.002-05:00

So this school year 26 Chicago Public School students have been killed. In just over one full year over 500 CPS students have been shot. My argument for the past few years has been that gun control is a bad thing. It takes guns out of law abiding citizens who want to defend themselves. If bad guys want to get guns a law will not stop them. Just look at DC and Chicago which have the toughest gun control laws on the book and their murder rate is the highest in the country. But then you look at all these kids getting shot and even it was legal to own guns they would still be getting killed because they are not old enough to purchase a gun for defense. So where does that leave us? Lower the age to own a gun? That would probably not work. Gun control is obviously not working. We need another option. I am open for suggestions.

Can You Believe This Headline?

2009-03-02T17:36:00.004-06:00

Learning to live with Radical Islam. I guess coming from the magazine that said a few weeks ago that "We are all Socialists Now," I cannot be to shocked. You know we probably just should have learned to live with Nazis.

Let Me See If I Understand This

2009-02-20T21:23:00.002-06:00

Inmates at Guantanamo have rights and can have their day in court but those in the bases in Afghanistan cannot? WTF is the difference? I thought many inmates at Guantanamo have even come from this base in Afghanistan. I even agree with Obama on his support of Bush on this one, but I then ask why is is not the same for GITMO. I need an explanation please.

I have been reading this book for the past two months and I could not agree more with the author of this article when he talks about some of the correlations between the book and what is happening now. By the way if you have not read it I highly recommend doing so. It is awesome.

Obama Wants To Wait On Making all TV Digital

2009-01-08T17:31:00.001-06:00

Why in the hell is government involved in the first place with telling companies they need to have an all digital signal by a certain date?

In the way that it is not! Another question I may have asked is do you know more than 2 other Vice Presidents?

Did IL Governor Do Anything Wrong

2008-12-16T09:27:00.003-06:00

I was asking this question posed by the NYT on day one. I believe it is a fair question. What i do wonder is if they would write this story if it was a Republican Governor in trouble? I question their motives for writing it - but I believe it is a fair question to pose.

More MSN Iraq Bias

2008-12-15T11:19:00.003-06:00

THE TOP STORY with photo on MSNBC is about Arabs gathering and praising they guy who threw a shoe at President Bush. What a non story. They do not even tell you how many people were at this rally (instead they say thousands - which they are implying lots). The real total of the crowd was estimated at 2,000 people. That is nothing. No big stories on Iraq casualties being at an all time low. No big stories on troop deaths being at an all time low (2 this month by the way- 2!). Nope we need to show how some people gathered to praise the reporter. A reporter (who is not an Iraqi) from Cairo Egypt who has been calling Bush a dog for years. What President Bush has been able to do with that country is nothing short of amazing and instead of giving this guy any credit they use this shoe incident as example of how Iraq is a mess. It is just dispicable how media reports "news." Fight the good fight media. Keep up the great work!

Check Out The Top Story On MSNBC

2008-12-12T08:09:00.002-06:00

Distancing Obama from the IL Governor. If this was a republican the stories would be the exact opposite. Amazing how much of a free ride this guy gets. I thought now that he was elected the press would actually do their job and look into things now. Guess not. Journalism is still dead.

2008-12-09T09:52:00.001-06:00

My Governor is corrupt? I refuse to believe. What is even more funny is the fact that this morning I was reading a local newspaper and it had an article about our governor. It mentioned how the governor said he always feel like light is shining down on him. Wonder if that holds true today.

I NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER

2008-12-05T19:36:00.001-06:00

..want to hear again how the oil companies are conspiring to rip off the people with high gas prices. If these prices do not fully display how supply and demand works I do not know what ever will. The first person who mentions after gas prices go back up that oil companies are evil and trying to rip us off needs to be taken out back and shot.

Christmas Is My Favorite Time of the Year

I Don'T Understand How More Government Regulation Is A Good Thing

2008-11-24T13:00:00.001-06:00

Apparently this writer thinks regulating the airline industry is a must do. Don't governments have a stake in the industry now?

Fast Food Ads Make Kids Obese

2008-11-21T10:15:00.002-06:00

Yeah they do! Obviously then we need to have more ads about yummy vegetables. That will make kids wants to eat them more and they will lose weight. TV ads - is there anything they can't do.

Romney Says "Big Three" Need To Start Over

2008-11-19T10:16:00.002-06:00

Romeny against the bailout is a huge statement coming from a guy who is all about the automobile. He mentions two things the big three have to do and of course the first one is to restructure their contracts.

Bail Out The Automotive Industry

2008-11-17T09:18:00.003-06:00

We must be careful when we talk about bailing out the automotive industry. For one - we are only talking about bailing out the Big 3 (GM, Ford, Chrystler). Interesting enough Toyota and Honda who have plants right in the good old USA are not having financial difficulty. Why on earth could this be? Average hourly rate for someone working at Ford is $73, while Toyota is $48. What is the difference between those two when both are American workers? You guessed it UNIONS! Unions that restrict change and inhibit growth- meanwhile their salaries keep going up. So how is giving $25 billion to the big 3 going to change anything? All it will do is delay the inevitable. These big 3 need to fall on their face, start over, and create a new business model that is more efficient. Take a cue from Toyota and Honda. There is a reason why there businesses are making money and have the best sold cars on the road.

Govt Changes Mind of How To Bailout Banks

2008-11-12T12:59:00.002-06:00

Doesn't the fact that the government changes their mind on how to deal best with this financial situation show that they are not sure on what will work best. Basically they are making their best guess and hoping for the best. More proof in my book that not doing anything might be better than guessing and wasting the money away.

It Has Been A While

2008-11-10T17:44:00.002-06:00

Sorry for the lack of updates. But I am back on it.
First off let me say I am very excited and proud of my country for electing our first black president. I do worry about many of choices and decisions he will be making. First one being what to do about Guantanamo detainees. Bringing them back to the US for trials makes little to no sense for me.

Falling Gas Prices

2008-10-20T12:56:00.001-05:00

So I have talked a lot about how gas prices have been falling and MSM refuses to talk about it. Well today they finally took a crack at it. But instead of mentioning how this is helping families budgets - they go on this tangent instead. MSM looking out for the working man.

DC School Chancellor Getting More Love

Nothing Like Making People Feel Comfortable By Separating Them

2008-10-09T15:58:00.003-05:00

Heart is in the right place I guess? But creating a high school for gay students seems like the wrong way to end bullying. So now a gay student who does not go to that school will be walking down the hallway and be mocked by another kid saying - "hey why don't you leave this school and go to the other school with all those fags?" Just does not seem like the right way to handle this.

MSN FInally Mentions Obama Ayers Connection

2008-10-04T07:39:00.002-05:00

2008-09-22T14:43:00.000-05:00

They are so far left that Daily Kos and MoveOn.org are there freaking demo. For weekes it has been going after Palin. Check out today and the way this headline is worded. Seems like Obama cares about everyone and McCain could give a shit.

MSM Refuses To Let Up On Palin

2008-09-14T08:43:00.006-05:00

Here we are now a couple weeks past the date Palin was picked as VP and everyday since there has been a TOP STORY on MSM newscasts and websites about Palin. Oh, and by the way they are all about something bad they think she has done. These are two just from today. Is MSM scared or what?
Updated! Even more today. Top story again!
Update 2. MSN Headline - The Palin Bounce Fades. So after two weeks of constant attacks the balloon is deflating a little. MSN must feel proud. Good work guys!
Another Update! This is starting to get freaking NUTS. Maybe if this was a story tucked away somewhere, but it is on the top of the page. WOW

My School District Now Pays Its Students

2008-09-12T18:06:00.002-05:00

Freshman can now get cash money for good grades. In two years if a student gets straight A's they can cash in $4,000. As the money comes from private sources I have less issues, but issues never the less.

A School Chief That Has My Support

2008-09-09T11:54:00.002-05:00

Being the top-dog in the worst performing school district cannot be easy. Luckily DC also now has one of the biggest school choice programs as well. How can teachers complain about her changes when what they have been doing is worse than any where else in the country. You would think that teachers want to see thier kids succeed and would be up for trying anything new.

This Is Way Awesome

Confusion Solved

2008-08-28T17:03:00.002-05:00

I'm Confused

2008-08-28T07:56:00.002-05:00

Jobless claims are down again the economy is growing at over 3 percent. But all during the Democratic convention the only thing I have heard is how bad the economy is and how it is all George Bush's fault. Scratching my head.

What If This Story Was the Opposite News?

2008-08-05T16:17:00.002-05:00

Because it is not a top story everywhere I thought I would let all my readers (5 of you or so) know that the stock market went up today over 3oo points and gas is down under $120 a barrel. Now ask yourself where that story would be if it was the opposite. Stocks down over 300 and oil way up. Still think there is no liberal bias?

So San Fran Does Arrest People

Not drug addicts or prostitutes mind you. Instead they arrest the cowboy who sings in his underwear. Makes sense.

Los Angelas Government Says No More Fast Food

2008-07-24T07:31:00.003-05:00

For one year no more fast food type places can open up in a certain area of LA. Why? Becuase the government thinks people are too stupid to be able to decide where to eat. See if you open up 39 McDonalds restuarants near each other everyone will go to McDonalds. God, government is truly retarded.

This Makes A Lot of Sense

2008-07-23T12:22:00.002-05:00

The New York Times is losing a lot of money because readership is down (many newspapers are). But the solution as the Times see it is to raise the price on their paper. Super Smart!

Why Did Israel Release This Guy Again?

2008-07-23T10:49:00.002-05:00

Obama Bias More Blatant Than Ever

2008-07-21T15:29:00.003-05:00

If the big 3 network anchors going to Iraq was not enough media bias now the NYT is refusing to print MCain's editorial a week after they printed Obama's. Drudge and ABC's blog have the story.

2008-07-17T08:05:00.003-05:00

So this year Chicago has allready had more murders than last year and of course the media is all over it. So how do politicians respond. With bringing in the military and signing tougher gun laws thats how. Duh!

Why Gas Prices Rise?

2008-07-12T11:38:00.003-05:00

Well the biggest reason is the demand of countries such as China and India. China for instance is adding about 20,000 cars to the road per day. Yeah thats about 9 million a year. Turns out that is a lot of needed oil. The supply is not changing and more people want it. Unfortunately this never gets talked about. Instead it is Bush's fault and that is really getting old.

What Will Obama Say

2008-07-08T15:25:00.001-05:00

Because this does not seem very unifying.

California Cars Must Have Global Warming Scores Posted on New Cars

2008-07-07T16:45:00.002-05:00

No way in hell should this be the a law. If a business wanted to do this because they thought it might help sell a car - I would be cool with it. But to mandate that all car retailers put this sticker on is compete crap. When is the era of Big Government going to end? There has to be a snap back eventually right? I assume after a few years of President Obama we might start going the other way.

Have I Mentioned How Much I Love Dubai

2008-07-06T18:19:00.002-05:00

Dubai is the prime example of a successful middle eastern nation. If you do not want wars and terrorism look no further than the road that Dubai has taken. Capitalism, capitalism, capitalism - oh did I mention capitalism.

British Muslims are like the European Jews?

2008-07-04T10:44:00.002-05:00

Except for the fact that European Jews were not blowing themselves up and trying to kill as many innocent people as possible. Also Jews were not trying to create their own laws in the countries in which they were living. Try again Muslim minister guy.

More Evidence Chicago Does Not Understand the Economy

2008-07-01T08:57:00.003-05:00

Just keep raising taxes to pay for all the budget problems. That will fix everything you morons. We have the highest taxes in the country on so many different things it is ridiculous. Yet we cannot fund public education nor public transportation properly. As anyone ever heard of making budget cuts. Here are some examples - less workers, lower salary, do not hire union workers to build something. If anyone did a complete look at how our city is run monetarily I can guarantee it would us cry.
