Wasserman-Schultz brings to mind that name sake of hers from Hogan' Heroes - Sgt (I know NOTHING) Schultz. The classless Debbie should keep in mind she is the hapless dumb Sergeant and Allen West is the Colonel. She is both outranked and outclassed. Good on you Col. West. I'm proud of you and you should know there are millions of us veterans out here 1000% behind you.
Condi Rice is a brilliant woman - and Katie Couric is a dope. This video is all the proof you need to know those two things are true. I hope the next Republican President, whoever that may be, will have an important job for Dr. Rice to do for the American people.
Absolutely right. I have personally seen many Civil Service jobs reclassified merely to give an employee a pay raise. Fortunately, I had the ability to put a stop to a very tiny bit of this scam at one time because I had to approve any new civilian "supervisory" positions and my standards for such positions were pretty rigorous. Not many got approved on my watch in my very small corner of the DoD world. I was a very unpopular guy in some circles. C'est La Vie.

Airport "Security"?

When I have dental x-rays taken they put a lead shield over my chest all the down to cover my genitals - the very areas the TSA wants to be able to see with their idiotic machine. I have a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted so cannot enter the x-ray machine and would have to be patted down. I will refuse that but will offer to disrobe completely for a visual "no touching" inspection in a private room. But the inspectors better bring their barf bags because it ain't gonna be pretty.

5 election winners to be sworn in early

Why is it Illinois state officials cannot get the papers certifying Kirk's election to Washington until November 29th? Have the votes been counted? Did Kirk win? Sign the darned papers and give them to FedEx for overnight to Washington. They'll be there tomorrow. Sounds like a case of corrupt Illinois politicians doing all they can to delay the inevitable. What are they doing, trying to get Roland Burris a few more days pay for a job he never should have been given?
As a former (28 years) resident of the 1st in NH, I know very well that Charlie Bass is pretty darned close to a RINO, but not quite. I am hopeful that Charlie can read the Tea leaves and understands if he is anything less than a true fiscal conservative if elected, he will be out after one term. Your idea of leaving that race blank rather than voting for "the lesser of two evils" is exactly the same kind of thinking that got Barack Obama elected. Suck it up pal, hold your nose if you have to, and vote for Bass. Doing otherwise invites electing Kuster, a liberal dedicated to keeping Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

Here Comes the Value Added Tax

Sales taxes are collected at the point of retail sale of a good. You know how much it is because you see it on the cash register receipt. A VAT is a hidden tax that is added on to the cost of goods at every step of the process of manufacturing, delivering, and selling the good. A VAT is included in the retail price you will pay for a good and you will not really know how much of what you pay at the cash register is tax. Such a tax is very easy to increase. Anyone who believes instituting a VAT will result in the reduction or elimination of any other tax a dreaming - big time. You give politicians - any politicians - more money and they will spend it. A VAT is an very bad idea,

Instead of attacking Dr. Adams, how about commenting on the vile things Pino has said about your comrades in arms? Do you agree with the way Pino refers to the brave military personnel serving in Afghanistan? Or do you condemn his remarks? It is possible, you know, to defend Pino's rights to say whatever he wants while at the same time condemning the nature of those remarks. Your silence in this regard speaks volumes about your mindset. Shame on you, Telephone Colonel Donahue.

The Van Jones Matter

you give Mr. Jones' racist diatribes short shrift. In America we are supposed to be beyond racism but clearly Van Jones is not. I fear his every decision and action would have been influenced by his "blame Whitey" for everything attitude. I believe the President was well aware of this and is another reason why I do not believe he really wants to be a uniter and not a divider. It has served the Democrats very well to keep the black community convinced they are the victims of the white majority and the Democrats have no interest in seeing that change. Van Jones was hired to serve that purpose.
