Dear Mr. Hannan...

Now, this is really speaking truth to power...



Now, if he's over 35...but, he's not a natural born citizen of the United States. Drat!
Well, maybe a run for Senate then... I'll be emailing Mr. Hannan and asking if he's ever considered Stateside residence and politics.

P.S. Read what Mr. Hannan has said about his three minute speech, that was ignored by the European MSM. Very interesting!
And a BTW, PM Gordon Brown was in the chamber as Mr. Hannan was speaking directly to him!

The rosy cheek hull thrusher v your children

A Clinton era appointed federal judge (Colleen Kollar-Kotelly) issued an injunction prohibiting citizens with a valid permit to carry to carry firearms into National Parks and wildlife refuges. Pres. Bush issued a decision to allow firearms into the National Parks where a lawful permit would allow a citizen to do so. The reason Colleen Kollar-Kotelly gives for the injunction? The Bush decision "failed to evaluate the possible environmental impact" of the ruling.
Oh.
So, what possible environmental impact would necessitate a 44 page ruling from Colleen? Well, I guess a decision process that Colleen calls "astoundingly flawed". 44 pages...
And what, pray tell, is the environmental impact of a bear attack on a group of children in a National Park? Or a bison charging a group of tourists? Will Colleen call the National Park Ranger Defense Hotline so the Rangers can come to the rescue of any citizen who obeys the law when confronted by one who does not?
Hhhmmm...probably not.
She'll be much too busy to be torn away from "Earth in the Balance" or the recent Brady Campaign recent email update. BTW, it was the Brady Bunch who was a party to the suit that brought the injunction from Colleen.

A picture and a bunch of words plus trillions of dollars

I joined Twitter a couple of months ago (www.twitter.com/AmendmentX). Two organizations I follow on Twitter are the Cato Institute (Cato Twitter link) and the Heritage Foundation- ( Heritage Twitter link). This morning I got a Tweet from Heritage that shows the Bush deficits v the Obama deficits via a graphic.
Here's the bad news:


The good news? Well, BHO promises to cut the deficit in half. So, as the article points out, BHO will quadruple the deficit, then promises to cut it in half. If he follows through on at least this promise, that means he'll only double the deficit.

Bumper sticker politics

Yesterday my Mom and I were coming back from the St. Joesph's Day celebration at Mama D's son John's restaurant Cafe Biaggio in St. Paul (see below). Traveling down 35W, there was a Ford Escape in the next lane with a number of bumper stickers on the back window:"Franken", "Obama" and "Wellstone". And at the left center of all those stickers was one that absolutely baffled me-"I Vote The Constitution".
My dismay and befuddlement vanished when I finally realized the bumper sticker didn't say which country's constitution he voted.
