It turns out that peanut company has a history of problems, but see if you can notice something interesting here: As far back as 2007, salmonella-laced products were shipped by a Georgia peanut company that knew the peanuts probably were tainted and sometimes after tests confirmed that contamination, inspection records show. Federal law forbids producing […]
KBR gets awarded a new contract in Iraq, despite being under a criminal investigation for faulty wiring that killed two U.S. soldiers. Maybe the government will contract with that peanut company in Georgia to send products to our troops also.
Now if a Democrat did this the Republicans would be calling for a criminal investigation: A congressional trip to Iraq this weekend was supposed to be a secret. But the cat’s out of the bag now, thanks to a member of the House Intelligence Committee who broke an embargo via Twitter. A delegation led by […]
John McCain is acting like he won the election. Check out the video of Mr. “The Fundamentals of our Economy are Strong” defining stimulus and bi-partisanship on the Senate floor yesterday, then ask yourself who America chose to lead us in a new future.

It’s so weird, the trial balloon foisted by State Senate Majority Leader Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville, that would establish a law enforcement database to track the identity of anyone having an alcoholic drink at a bar or restaurant. Let’s make this clear: It’s not government’s business to track which […]
This is exactly why we need net neutrality passed asap: For some sports fans, ESPN360, the online version of ESPN’s television channel, is a cornucopia of more than 3,500 sporting events each year, viewable from the convenience of a computer. For others, it’s a total bust. The only difference: their ISP. The culprit is ESPN’s […]
So some of the bailout money could be going to hookers: Visa, Mastercard or American Express? Or maybe a credit card from JP Morgan Chase? Wall Street CEOs, lawyers, bankers and media executives chalked up thousands of dollars in prostitution charges on their corporate credit cards — swiping their cards for $2,000 an hour prostitutes, […]
