• Ironically-Named ‘Smart Meters’ Prove to Be a Dumb Idea

  March 26, 2011 at 10:25pm

  From the same people who brought us low water flush toilets. They cost more, don’t work as well and ultimately use more water because of the need for repeated flushes. This is why plumbers and not bureaucrats need to design toilets. Now we have the BUREAUCRATS’ electric meter. Bahhhh!

  The problem is that Weiner may be representative of people in his district. A fistful of weiners, so to speak.

  Justices of the Supreme Court do not have to be lawyers. Just appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

  The silly thing is that even if they could get Thomas disbarred, he would not be removed from the Court. First a justice on the Supreme Court does not have to be a lawyer, so being disbarred would not disqualify him from serving as a justice. Second a justice is appointed for life and the Constitution states that he can only be removed by impeachment and conviction by Congress.

• Uncovered: Another Soros-Funded Attack On Glenn Beck and Talk Radio

  March 6, 2011 at 11:05pm

  So who cares what the Columbia Journalism Review may say? I listen to Beck because he is entertaining. I do not think that the callers are actors, but then I don’t really care. I am entertained and I am informed. And Spooky dude and all his Ivory Tower plants don’t matter one iota to me.

  Not a union fan, but I can say that the roads get plowed here in Minnesota in a very timely manner. The local highway departments, mostly unionized get the work done. I‘m sure that the over that cherished President’s Day holiday cost us double time and one-half, but at least the roads were cleared within hours of the end of the storm.

  The teacher was plowing his own driveway, not a municipal obligation, yet.

• Thousands of Protesters Surround Wisconsin Capitol

  The legal authority to for unions to bargain with public employers is found exclusively in state law. It is not a right, such as an unalienable right endowed by their creator, it is not a constitutional right enshrined in the US or State Constitution. It is a statute that was enacted by the legislature, It has been regularly and routinely amended by the lgislature. The unions have gone to the legislature to change the law to receive benefits or other advantages that they were unable or unwilling to bargain with the local units of government. Now that the union’s have lost control of the elective process, legislative change to collective bargaining statutes, is unfair and a violation of fundamental rights. They want to negotiate legislative changes. Gimme a break. The negotiations took place in November. You have lived by the legislative process and now you can die by that process.

  EXACTLY! Grow up. Get some common sense and end the victimhood. She did something stupid. Slap herself on the forehead, say duh, that was stupid and get on with her life.

• Mystery Still Surrounds Idaho Winner of $190 Million

  Maybe just a reflection of the status of marriage as an institution with many people of “marrying age” in our society. Most couples live together and may or may not get married even if they have children. Here they got married for some reason but never felt that the marriage was significant enough to legally end it when they no longer lived together. Neither saw any compelling reason to go through the hassle of formally ending a marriage that had already been informally ended. Marriage for most, is no longer a covenant and maybe not even a commitment. Marriage is an arrangement that is rearranged by convenience. Its only when something like this that dumps a bunch of money onto the issue that those old fashion legal technicalities cause inconvenient problems.
