A complimentary action would be to assign these enviro-forest service flunkies to get off their collective fannies and earn their pay by digging dirt, moving boulders, and hauling pipe with their bare hands. (If wheelbarrows are machines, so are shovels.) Then maybe they would rethink their policies.

Why is a Donkey the symbol of the Democratic Party? Because they are the party of Abortion, Sodomy & Socialism.

Last Friday, I paid $4.01 for regular unleaded at Costco in SoCal, and then headed to St. George UT for a conference. The same day, unleaded regular was $3.15 at the gas station near our lodging. Of course, over the weekend, that gas station went to $3.29, while the price of gas was $4.57 back home.

Last week I bought gas in Salt Lake City for $2.73. This week paid $3.79 at Costco in So. Cal. Nice of the State of California to rip up off.

Yes, primarily because of their one-child policy. People, depending on occupation, can retire as early as age 50 (primarily women). Fewer workers supporting more retirees over the next 35 or so years.

From the article referred to above, Steen Jakobsen's "Time is Running out for Europe": That is another lesson from Greece; the longer you avoid facing the truth, the more you solve debt with debt, the deeper the hole you are digging as your new beginning necessitates a larger and large initial trauma. Politicians tend to underestimate their voters ability to deal with a crisis. If the population at large knows it’s coming, they can and will deal with it. Many of today’s generation of politicians forget that their grandparents lived through two wars, the depression and several stock market crashes only to create the most robust growth era in modern history. Lesson for the U.S.: Don't raise the debt ceiling, prioritize spending,...

Henry Kissinger has a point. What is little known is that while Mao was alive (and somewhat sane), he followed the advice of the Russians and encouraged births, and this baby boom is slightly younger than our Baby Boomers. When I visited China, my tour guide was born in 1979, the first year of the one-child policy. He was an only child, but had 22 aunts and uncles (not counting their spouses). The one-child policy resulted in a surplus of males, and those born 1979-1990 are now in their prime. This is the fuel for China's economic expansion, but the China boomers are beginning to retire and being more numerous than their children will put tremendous strain on the Chinese government. (Retirement age is 50-60 for women and 55-65 for...

Ethanol subsidies suck money from my pocket in terms of taxes, in terms of the increased price of gasoline, in terms of decreased gas mileage, and decreased engine life of my car.

I agree with InfDivIFnCom that religion shouldn't be a part of campaigning--particularly in a Republican primary. I just don't care! Politicians, I want to know your principles and what you plan to vote for or against.

While driving through Arizona last month, a McCain ad came on every fifteen minutes, even during J.D. Hayworth's show. Rather than touting what good McCain has done, it just ripped J.D., and I felt, misrepresented is viewpoint. I find this intolerable in elected politicians and is usually a sign of too much money to spend and not much to say. (I'm suffering through this now with the Whitman/Poisner campaign in California.)
