Working at a helicopter flight school, I often have run-ins with various federal officials – most commonly the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Well today I finally got around to actually taking the TSA security test to make it possible for me to, you know, work at an airport. What [...]

Bills to Watch: H.J.R. 17 – Joint Resolution Urging Congressional And Presidential Opposition to Federal Bailouts and Promotion of Fiscal…
Yes, the title of this resolution is so long that blogger would not allow me to type the full name out… and, similarly, this resolution is so far off the deep end that I have to wonder if Representative Craig Frank (R – District 57, Cedar Hills) has run out of space in his mind [...]
Are They High?!
Due to my desire to consistently give myself facepalms, I naturally clicked on CNN’s headline “GOP senators say Obama off to bad start.” Sure enough, both Senator McCain and Lindsay Graham are stopping their feet saying that Obama promised to sit down and talk to Republicans and talk about the stimulus and that Obama is [...]
Whelp, so much for Bipartisanship
So all 176 Republicans (along with seven Democrats) present for the vote on the stimulus package voted nay. Not one, not one Republican thought it was a good idea. This, despite the fact that President Obama has made concession after concession on the package. This, despite the fact that President Obama invited and worked with [...]
Republicanism Explained
I must admit that this bleeding heart liberal really got a kick out of this post I just happened to stumble upon. The post summarizes the Republican ideals into two very to the point…points. This post has NSFW language, so you may want to make sure no one is reading over your shoulder.
Did you catch this one?
So thanks to Jeff Bell for first pointing this one out. He may not be willing to discuss this beyond retching. Well I could not help but check it out to see what was on the site (kind of like how you have to look at a horrific car accident). So here is, word for [...]
Chris Wallace is a Dumb Ass
I submit as my first piece of evidence: Now I know that the far-righters out there really don’t want Obama as President, but this is pushing it even further than the whole “is Obama a citizen?” “controversy.” If we push Wallace’s logic to its natural extreme, the will of the Chief Justice of the Supreme [...]
My Epiphany
Late last night, as I was attempting to fall asleep, it finally dawned on me why Obama’s candidacy so captured Americas youth. At the age of 24, I am one of the older members of Generation Y, a generation marked by political and social activists. What fully came into focus is that I have only [...]
What Today Really Means
When this blog post is due to be published, an utterly amazing and relatively uncommon thing is taking place in the most powerful nation in the world – the exchange of power not through violence, exile, or death, but with pomp and celebration. Indeed, the swearing in of one president whilst the outgoing president sits [...]
