North Korean missiles, Lizard Science and Color-Coded Cars

North Korea plans on testing ballistic missiles next month. We plan on shooting those missiles down. They are threatening to restart their nuclear program if we punish them for this test. I say we simply take out their nuclear facility and remove that option from the table. Either case, this is going to be a good test of the Obama administration's stance on foreign policy.

UN Panel suggests that the world go to single currency in order to stem the affects from the recession. No thank you Mr. NWO.

Republicans are pissed at Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson for promoting legislation that requires children to participate in a "charitable activity". As much as I agree with public service, I oppose government imposed compulsory service. Senator Isakson is a clear example of a "big-government" Republican who is anything but a conservative. Besides that, isn't an army of government-controlled children a little too Nazian for the US?

Some states are looking to impose mandatory drug tests on welfare recipients. Does this apply to the guys at AIG or only those on the lower end of the totem pole. Again, we have more quasi-conservatives who are very willing to use maximum government power; but only when it applies against others.

The Pentagon releases a plan based on salamanders and lizards that will allow soldiers to regrow lost limbs and other body parts. If I was the one that lost a limb, I might feel differently. But, growing human body parts seems a bit creepy.

The state of California continues to provide glowing examples of liberal lunacy. In their battle to combat "global warming", they now ready to outlaw cars with black paint. Causes global warming, you know. Pretty soon, everyone in California will drive white-painted cars that weigh 100 lbs. The car will get 50 mpg, but they'd kill you and your entire family if you hit a stop sign at 15 mph.

Mexico Imposes Santions on U.S., AIG's Money Grab and a Texan Prison's Animal House

Mexico readies to impose sanctions on American imported products to the tune of $2B. This is almost beyond words. I anxiously await the Administration's response. I'm tired of being a consumer nation and having other countries abuse us for our marketplace.

AIG takes $173B in taxpayer money and promptly pays $165M in bonuses. Please explain to me how this whole thing is not a big money grab. They took the commissions on the front end, the bailout in the middle to cover their losses; now they are grabbing a few extra bucks as they flip taxpayers the bird.

Washington D.C. is in the midst of an serious AIDS epidemic. An estimated 3% of the population is infected.

Alberta weather stations witness record low temperatures for March. I guess that's more proof of global warming. According to Al Gore, we only have about 8.5 years left before we burn.

Feds give notice that they are going after Ruth Madoff's assets. They seek an estimated $70M.

Teachers against Standards, Chinese Torture and the Weirdest Mommy/Daddy Story You'll ever See

As most would agree, our educational system is in major need of an overhaul. Most liberals understand the importance of having a good education. They send their own children to the finest private schools in the nation. However when it comes to your children, they talk about the importance of sending them to the local public school. "Strengthen the public schools", they say. However, how can these schools be improved without the willful help of the teachers? Obama promotes merit-based pay for teachers. Of course, teachers unions are strongly against the idea.

The Tibetan people continue to suffer under Chinese rule. When people around the world struggle under tyrancial rule, the United States should at least be a voice against that tyranny. However, our government is impotent when it comes to dealing with China. We've lost our ability to fairly criticize them. They are by far our largest financier. They manufacture almost all of the goods we use in this country. Recently, they've been buying cheap American real estate under the economic downturn. Even when they harrass our ships, we don't do much.

Newt Gingrich criticizes Rush Limbaugh for his comment about wanting Obama to fail. Limbaugh blasts back at Newt and the battle is underway.

Muslim woman in line at the credit union she used for 10 years asked to go leave line. Because of her hijab (head scarf), she was forced to bank in a room in the back.

Female Iron Chef Cat Cora and her "wife" are both pregnant.
