I Guess There Is No Problem

With the budget deal last week evidently saving less than one billion dollars in real spending (It seems Congress and the White House over the years have learned to cook the books) there are all kinds of little things flying around there that get our attention. Kevin Williamson at NRO has this thought which maybe doesn't seem like much but it kind of concerns me.
The incredible Iowahawk offers this little ditty to whet the fiscal whistle. In the old days I always like Tennessee Ernie Ford, but I doubt he believed even this song would be used to illustrate this point.

Coming Apart At the Seams, The Division

Rich Lowry quotes Charles Murray in this post in The Corner. Many are starting to make the comparison of the division in the country and likening it to the same level of division as occurred during the Civil War. 150 years ago today the shot was made on Fort Sumter, S.C. and the fight was on. I actually do think we are in a quiet Civil War. The Southerners preferred to call the war, The War of the Northern Aggression. But the war now is a different type of aggression. It appears to be an aggression of entitlement, devoid of foresight into the future with a rapidly increasing abandonment of the Constitution and the Spirit of Liberty that we have inherited.

Gaia has Human Rights

Hmm. I have felt for sometime that the United Nations has finally reached to point that it has no worth. This doesn't exude much confidence in the bureaucratic nightmare on Oyster Bay.

Come On Spring


We have had almost four days of continual snow. It has been a wet, heavy snow that melts but we still have a couple of inches of 'slurpee' on the lawn. I saw this in the paper and was wondering if there are any of you out there with similar thoughts as we continue to hope for warm weather.

Since SI has published their Swimsuit issue, and the Final Four is Finally Over, this came up and I couldn't pass up sharing it. This is a list of the 100 Most Desireable Women in Sports. I wouldn't want to tangle with any of them, but I would maybe tango with them.

Taxing the Rich Should Do It

This op ed on American Thinker seems to show that Taxing the Rich will take care of the problem. Or does it?
