If you know me, you know I don’t tend to make big deals out of little ones.

That being said, much has been written in the past few days about Michael Phelps, America’s golden boy, and his recently-surfaced pictures- pictures of him doing drugs. (continue reading…)
What is a tax cut?
by HT on Feb.04, 2009, under News & Politics
A lot of talk has been made recently about the economic “stimulus” plan that President Obama and the democrats have proposed. One of the things you’ll hear is that a large portion of the bill, about $275 Billion worth, is going to include tax cuts for 95% of Americans.

What Senator McCain failed to articulate a few months ago and what the media is failing to indicate now is that a great portion of these so called “tax cuts” aren’t really tax cuts at all.

There were no riots, no assassination attempts, no military coup, and other than some rude behavior to our former president there was relatively little trouble at all the entire day. We should all stop and be thankful that we have such days. But Tuesday is over, and the time for action has begun. You see it’s our job to hold our elected leaders accountable for what they say and do, and now that President Obama is doing things I feel compelled to hold him accountable for them.
