California Jumps the Bolshevik!

California has jumped the shark, or should I say Bolshevik? A Democratic assemblyman submitted a bill to drop President Washington or Lincoln’s birthday as a holiday in exchange for International Workers’ Day. The bill didn’t pass this time around. Here is what an American had to say:

“I’m aghast that a bill like this would be able to get through committee,” California Republican Assemblyman Matthew Harper said to the Assembly. “Are we in competition to be the laughing stock of the United States?”


“Are we going that far to the left?” Harper asked. “This is ridiculous; this is insane; this is un-American. And for folks who think that the U.S. won the Cold War with the Soviet Union, this makes it sound like we’re going in the other direction — that indeed California is kowtowing to the Soviet domination of the Cold War.”


California has gone beyond laughing stock. They are now in a state of rebellion. These people no longer want to be part of this union. And I for one am willing to let them go.

EPA Grinch Steals Prosperity

The EPA wishes all Americans a crappy Thanksgiving, a loathsome Christmas, and an impoverished New Year.  While everyone is stuffing their faces and making merry with friends and family, the Greenie Grinch is busy raiding our wallets and future prosperity by pushing an avalanche of regulations onto Whoville.  The Daily Caller reported the following:

“It’s become an unfortunate tradition of this administration and others to drop these regulatory agendas late on a Friday and right before a holiday,” Matt Shudtz, executive director of the Center for Progressive Reform, told The Hill newspaper.

The White House’s regulatory agenda for spring 2014 was released on the eve of the Memorial Day weekend, when millions of people set out on weekend getaways or family vacations.

“It’s unfortunate because it’s an update on protections for Americans of all stripes,” Shudtz told the Hill. “It lays out the administration’s plan and it deserves more attention.”

But the White House may have a good reason to do so because its Unified Agenda for fall 2014 includes some 3,415 regulations– more than the last regulatory agenda, and one that includes 189 rules that cost more than $100 million.

This is fast becoming a holiday tradition Americans can’t afford.

Please Be Careful This Holiday Season

With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my family & friends about drinking and driving.  As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" or out with friends.

Well, three days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails, followed by some rather nice red wine.  Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be over the limit.  That's when I did something that I've never done before ...  I took a cab home! 

 Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past.  I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real relief and surprise because I had never driven a cab before. I don't even know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it!!!
