2″ Toy Gun from Lego Set gets 9 year old in trouble at NY School
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Nine year old Patrick Timoney brought a little Lego man to South Beach Public School on Staten Island and nearly was suspended from his 4th grade class.
Patrick Timoney found himself in hot water at school when he stuck the 2″ toy gun into the hand of a plastic police officer.
Timoney was terrified when he was yanked into the principal’s office to discuss the tiny 2″ most dangerous weapon and the school district zero tolerance policy.
It’s a 2″ gun—dangerous to who?
Too many public schools have become nothing more loony government indoctrination centers, designed to inculcate children with their values and beliefs through repeated study of wacky liberal propaganda.

Democrat-Socialists Move Forward On ObamaCare—Canadian Premier Comes to U.S. for Heart Surgery
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Out of touch Democrat-Socialists promise to keep moving ahead on ObamaCare while only 3 out of 10 Americans want Congress to pass health care legislation in its current form and 58% of the respondents oppose ObamaCare in its entirety according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted January 22-24
If the Canadian health care model is so good, why is Newfoundland-Labrador Canadian Premier Danny Williams traveling to the United States next week for heart surgery?

Boo-Hoo-Hoo, Over Priced News Reader Katie Couric Facing Pay Cut
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Katie Couric, doing nothing to turn around CBS Evening News which is suffering from horrible ratings faces a pay cut of her $300,000 per week salary.
In perspective: News Reader Katie Couric, is being paid enough to hire 200 News Reporters for $75,000 per year. Where is the moral outrage from the liberal loony political lefties, who constantly seek salary caps for persons who they determine are overpaid?
The Obama and his Administration advisors have worked up many Americans into a frenzy over bonuses paid to financial executives, remain silent on MSM over priced news readers, who are in the tank for Obama. MSM are paying the consequences from their lack of journalistic integrity during the 2008 Presidential Campaign and beyond. It should be no surprise that their dismal ratings continue to suffer.

Obama isn’t making too many friends or influencing people in Las Vegas
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-V unfavorable rating is 52% according to a January according to a Las Vegas Review Journal poll conducted between 05-07 January
Obama is not making too many friends in Las Vegas, Nevada, telling residents in Nashua, New Hampshire yesterday, “When times are tough you tighten your belts” Barack Obama doesn’t believe belt tightening applies to him though anticipating $5.08 Trillion in deficits over the next 5 years, then telling Americans Obama said, “You don’t blow a bunch of cash in Vegas….”
Will “The Anointed One” (which FOX News Sean Hannity calls Obama) be an asset or a hindrance to Harry Reid’s hopes to serve another 6 year term in the U.S. Senate?
So far Obama is batting zero campaigning for issues and candidates: Obama didn’t bring the 2016 Summer Olympics home to Chicago; Accomplished nothing at the Copenhagen Climate Change Eco-Redistribution of Wealth Conference in December; Obama campaigned for two Gubernatorial Races last year in New Jersey and Virgina, both candidates lost; Obama campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Martha Coakley of Massachusetts and she too lost her bid to fill the seat opened because of Ted Kennedy’s death, instead voters sent Republican Scott Brown to Washington, the first GOP U.S. Senate candidate to win in Massachusetts in more than three decades.
Should Obama campaign for Democrat Senator Harry Reid in Nevada, will he help or hurt his chances of returning to the Senate? Will instead Obama continue with his perfect “no wins” record, dragging even more Democrats into the toilet this year. What a Guy.

Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
Standing all by himself, John McCarthy holds his “Gimmie-Gimmie” sign outside Nashua North High School, New Hampshire where “Hope-n-Change” delivered yet another speech blaming Bush (again) for the economy that he inherited and making yet another pitch for ObamaCare.
Obama definitely loves to get around as long as its on the taxpayers dime.
In October McClatchy reported that Barack Obama stands alone as the most heavily traveled President making foreign trips.
During his first year as President, Barack Obama didn’t care if he left his carbon footprint behind domestically either, making 46 out of town trips to 58 communities in 30 states, making him the most traveled President in history.
Congressman Henry Waxman, D-CA in 2006 reported that the flight operating costs for Air Force One are $56,518 per hour likewise domestic Presidential travel involves the use of cargo planes accompanying the President at a cost to the taxpayers of $6,960 per hour.
