It’s time to stock up on 100w incandescant light bulbs. You only have 27 days until your federal government makes them illegal. (75w bulbs go in 2013, the rest each year later) Mrs RR and I have an entire cabinet in the basement filled with 40w, 60w, 75w, and 100w bulbs. We buy them whenever they’re [...]

Hard not to like this guy!
Congressman Bob Turner (R)NY-9th
September 14th, 2011
Obama will have TWO bitter bagels for breakfast this morning! In the NY 9th Bob Turner won the seat vacated by Anthony ‘Sexting’ Weiner – and won despite MASSIVE Democratic efforts to save it. The 9th has a huge population of Jewish voters, and the Dems brought in both Bill Clinton and Anthony Cuomo to [...]

They’re Calling It The Tea Party Downgrade
August 8th, 2011
As a Tea Party member I have only one thing to say: “Thank you”. If it wasn’t for the Tea Parties around the country, and their influence on their elected representatives, this would have slid through Congress unnoticed. I’m proud to be part of a group that helped put and end to the foolishness and [...]
The Tea Party and the Debt Ceiling
August 1st, 2011

Budget? Ok, Let’s Start With an Unconstitutional Process
July 21st, 2011
How come Senators are ganging together (Gang of Six) and putting together a financial plan? Under the US Constitution all spending and appropriation bills must originate in the House. It’s time for the Senate to pass the House Cut, Cap, and Balance Bill sent over. At least then they’ll be on record with their decisions. [...]
