Times Union: Jacksonville police union boss: John Peyton hiding money for 'secret projects'

Totally sad that this is going this way.  I can't say I have much faith in Peyton these days (not that I really ever did), but this debacle with the police unions is a real nightmare with Mr. Cuba making some really over the top accusations. 
 
Article well worth the read and can be found…

See the skeletons in your neighborhood; ie convicted felons

Very, very interesting.  I am shocked to see that we have a couple of sexual affenders very close to an elementary school on Merrill Road (a block away if that).  This came from a tea party friend that lives in Texas.

Washington Post: EPA approves more ethanol in fuel for cars

For the subsidies only.  Don't know what kind of luck any of you are having with the ethanol mixed gasoline, but on one of our old cars you can actually watch it boil out of the fuel filter and the car can be started until the engine cools enough that the ethanol laced gas stops boiling away and fuel actually is getting where it needs to be again.  Just great stuff that kills gas milage for most of us as well…

Town Hall: Antidote to Government's Education Monopoly

 

Americans are beginning to understand that the government-run assembly-line education system is not working. As I point out in the upcoming "Kids Aren't Cars" film series, thousands, of not millions of kids are being failed by a system that is geared more towards satisfying adults than educating children.

See the trailer here.

How else can a recent Detroit Public…

First They Came For Your Toilet, Then Your Light Bulbs. Now Your Shower Will Be Regulated

This could almost be funny except it isn't really, is it?  Although we do have water shortages, this sounds more like more of the redistribution than anything else.  They will find a way to make it free for some while socking it to others.

Branding the Tucson massacre: “Together We Thrive” in white and blue; Updated: Liveblogging the bizarre pep rally; Gov. Brewer booed; in sum: right speech, too late, boneheaded venue (WOOT!)

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
