Who knows best?

Who knows best?

This from a north Carolina TV station: A Hoke County preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough nutritional value.

Sticking to their guns

Every now and then, it seems like the world is spinning out of control and that common sense is not too common. But, there was a story reported this week about a fight between a gun range and rich guy in Oregon.

Double down on the Catholic church

When the Notre Dame University gave President Barack Obama an honorary law degree back in 2009, many catholics howled. But, back then, the more moderate Catholics and others said, let us agree to disagree.

Why not start with food stamps?

For some this may be crossing the line where you stop preaching and stat meddling. Everybody knows the first lady has been on a kick the past year about getting kids to get up, move and practice better nutrition.

How about a parade?

There they were Monday in whatever stadium the Giants play in now. I think it's in New Jersey.

The Second Amendment: not negotiable

I love how people love the Constitution, until it gets in the way of what they want to do,. I love the the First Amendment. That's why I have a job.

Don't diss our Constitution

Recently, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was speaking in Egypt. She was helping that old country get off the ground with a new constitution.

Just running out the clock

This from CNS news about Department of Justice chief Eric Holder stonewalling during the "Operation Fast and Furious" investigation.

Give a damn!

We did this story earlier this week and when I was going over it before I read it, I could not believe what I was reading and I was wondering where the outcry was.

Well it's about time

Just when you think those in Washington D.C. are out of touch, this comes out. The Washington Post reports Congress low approval ratings have sparked a rare instance of bipartisanship.

Let the market decide

Last week, we mentioned green energy running out of gas so to speak. Many of the green energy companies the president and his acolytes are touting is not going greener, but going belly up.

Green, not with envy

With apologies to the rock group Queen, another one bites the dust. Just last year, the vice-president and the president were out touting green energy.

A true success story

Whenever you hear of NFL players retiring, I usually wonder what they are going to do next. The superstars have the luxury of just being themselves for the rest of their lives-- if they handled their money correctly.

What I wanted to hear

The president gave his 3rd State of the Union speech last night. I was hoping for more than what I heard. I wanted to hear answers to how we are going to pay down trillions of dollars of debt.

Who knows?

Everyone is asking me my rake on the Republican race. I tell them, I dunno. And I really mean that. I keep hearing all the conventional wisdom about Newt can't win, Romney is a suit puppet and the back and forth.
