I Don’t Listen to Hollywood: Tom Hanks Edition

March 21st, 2010 · 2 Comments

So what if he starred in Steven Spielberg’s 1998 blockbuster, “Saving Private Ryan.” It’s time to evict Tom Hanks from the Ranger Hall of Fame. An excerpt from a recent Los Angeles Times article, ‘The Pacific’s’ Tom Hanks: The right wing’s new boogeyman, makes the case clearly about the actor who, while busily pimping “The [...]

Close to 700,000 people should expect to join the ranks of the unemployed if President Barack Obama’s so-called health care reform plan (a.k.a., “ObamaCare”) becomes law, according to a study released Wednesday by Americans for Tax Reform and the Beacon Hill Institute.

March 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment

IF President Barack Obama’s so-called health care reform plan (a.k.a., “ObamaCare”) becomes law and UNTIL it’s rescinded for being unconstitutional, you can rest assured that more harmful legislation — including public option and single-payer option  health care — will soon be following it down the slippery slope of socialism.  That’s the essence of what radio [...]

Shock Jock Howard Stern Stands Up for Capitalism, Says ‘I will never vote for a Democrat Again!’

March 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Never in the 3.5-year history of this blog have I mentioned Howard Stern’s name in a post.  Why?  Because, for the most part, I detest the man as a foul-mouthed purveyor of filth on the airwaves.  Today, however, I feature him out of the sheer hope — perhaps misplaced, but I’m willing to risk it [...]

HEALTH CARE: There’s a Target on Your Back!

March 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments
