In the past few weeks the health care reform has been getting increasingly angrier and more violent, no thanks to the crazy extremist of the Republican. However, at least one Republican will dare to stand up against her party to bring stability and order to angry, mistaken, citizens of the Republican party. Only one person has the intellect, the knowledge of health care, the charisma to dispel these angry mobs and turn the debate back to the issues at hand. Who you ask? Who in the Republican party actually knows about health care? Why none other than Sarah Palin.
Hopefully you picked up on my sarcastic tone. If not, well I need to work on my …

Channel 5 News, Salt Lake City, Utah, did a feature story about the new Cottonwood Heights Police Department’s new offensive policing policy. This is basically the way it goes: the police officer rides around the streets of the area that was previously served by the county sheriff’s department; they look for situations that might possibly create a potential crime-such as a garage door left open during the night. The officer then proceeds to stop this potential crime by waking citizens up in the middle of the night to tell them to close their garage. Some citizens said they like it, even if they are wakened at 2:00 a.m. in the morning; however, others feel that …

Tomorrow’s Crisis “Tomorrow will give us something to think about” Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 BC-43 BC
On January 20, 2009, President Barack Obama took the inaugural oath to become the 44th President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the most powerful military force on earth. His mandate from the American people seems clear – change course – and he has a strong majority in the Congress to support his agenda.
Change, however, is easier to promise than deliver. If the past is prologue, the emerging economic and geopolitical landscape will have more to do with how the new President handles these challenges, than any ideological promises he made during the election campaign. Leading a …

This past week The Capital Area Association of Realtors released June home sales figures. For the second month in a row the association decided to do a previous month comparison, and year over year comparison. Why would they start a previous month comparison? In my opinion because the numbers sound better than year over year comparisons. What is being reported is factual, closed home sales for June were up over 20% from May. Sounds great doesn’t it?
What wasn’t reported was that June virtually has more home sales every year than May, and May home sales were down over 20%. This tid bit of information would put the previous month into proper perspective. OK, sales were …

OK boys and girls, I have been keeping my eye on this so called health care plan of Obama’s, and while our system could use a tuneup, it still beats all the other health care systems in the world, it’s quite possible that you shouldn’t use it if you can’t afford it.
What should I have to pay for you to go to the doctor, do you enjoy your taxes rising because the way I understand things it will push taxes up by 9%, now I don’t which taxes will go up, but you can bet it will be whatever pays the government the most money to offset the health care plan.
This is how socialized health …

The media is addicted to Michael Jackson. There. I said it. And I’m not talking about a weekend drunken binge addiction. They have a full on, 1000 pills a day-, drunk out of their minds-, shaking on the floor of a random crackhouse- addiction.
Online glorified tabloids and their traditional cousins are thirsty for anything remotely shocking or salacious with the words “Jackson” attached to it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if fledgling and veteran reporters alike were out turning tricks in back alleys all over California for leaked Michael Jackson information… whether it’s of pure quality or not.
Don’t for one minute think the addiction to Michael Jackson is limited to the entertainment media only.
Three weeks after Jackson …

Are teenagers actually understanding the situation the economy is in and helping their parents? Most teenagers have to have cell phones and stylish clothes in order to fit in with their peers.
There’s a retail store in New York that is having a 2 for 1 t-shirt sale and their profits have rose due to teenagers. Well, denim and t-shirts are still very popular, so if teens can get stylish clothes at a reasonable price then in their own way it really is helping out the economy and their parents.
Teenagers understand the situation the economy is in more than they did before. Now they all have computers and cell phones that keeps them informed. But what …

There a lot of things that politicians can learn from professional bloggers. Here are a few things to explore.
Politicians around the world are constantly striving to find ways and means to get an edge over their competitors in order to get elected to office and if they are already in office, they are looking for ways and means to get re-elected. Every trick that is available from dirty campaigning to mudslinging has been used in the past in the strive to get into office or hold on to the seat in office. Many of the more powerful politicians have entire staffs of people that comprise analysts and such that comb public opinions and posture to …

The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, H.R. 2454, better known as cap and trade, passed the House on June 26th. The vote was 219, to 212.
This bill will not become law until it has been voted on by the Senate.
According to the bill, the purpose is to create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution, and transition to a clean energy economy.
Interestingly enough, now days, because of our horrible financial troubles, all bills seem to emphasize that jobs will be created. If the economy were good, then the global warming argument would come first, and the job creation may not be mentioned at all.
The purported purpose of the cap …
