The Daily Diatribe: The dog ate my homework and the Congressional Office of Management and Budget said that healthcare reform will reduce the deficit by 136 billion dollars over the next ten years. Both are big, hairy lies. The only thing that surprises me is that the media buys it and tries to sell it […]
Color me a cynically, clinically insane conspiracy nut, but there’s a neuron firing in my brain’s Machiavellian lobe that says Mayor Anthony Foxx’s e-mail to council warning off sexual harassment of city staff has as much to do with politics as possible perversion. Not that politics and perversion are mutually exclusive. Foxx’s message, sent last […]
And leaving a sleazy trail along the way, according to N.C. Republican Party Chairman Tom Fetzer. Perdue has in recent months disclosed that her gubernatorial campaign received 31 flights that did not comply with state campaign finance law. Last week her campaign forfeited $48,000 related to questionable contributions received from nine donors connected to a […]

Making Nonsense Out of Sense Your taxes will go up. The level of your medical care will go down. The time that you will have to wait for care will go up, and the national growth rate will slow significantly. All of these maladies we can plant at the doorstep of Obamacare and you heard […]
Parks Helms summed it up best with his famous quote, “I’m mad! I’m angry!” He wasn’t speaking about healthcare, but he’s not alone with that sentiment.

“KILL THE BILL!” That was the message that rang out from a giant crowd of 30,000 – 50,000 tea party activists who gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday for a last-minute protest against Congress’s efforts to pass the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government-run healthcare plan. Here’s just a few pictures from the massive gathering. Realize that this rally […]
Wet t-shirts are all that’s missing from the wanton binge-spending spree our Democrat-controlled board of commissioners has blazed under the leadership of Chairperson Jennifer Roberts. There’s simply no other way to put it, which is what made Roberts’s retort at this week’s commissioners’ meeting, that Democrats weren’t wholly responsible for the financial mess in which […]
Hat tip to Cindy Spyker and CAUTION for passing this along. Americans for Prosperity is planning for multiple busses to leave NC on Saturday morning to make a noon rally in DC to stand up against “healthcare” reform!

Words have meaning, especially when you’re talking about libraries.
