Houston County Likely to Raise Property Taxes

President Obama has been mugged by reality regarding the war in Iraq.  Proof of this is the fact that, even though he has set a timetable for withdrawal, as many as 50,000 troops will stay even longer.  The Taliban beheaded an alleged American spy, leaving his body as a gift to Obama.  How's that hope and change stuff working for you?

 

Environmentalists are now using "reusable toilet wipes" instead of toilet paper.  It's like using a cloth diaper, which is worse for the environment than Pampers or Huggies.

 

Conservatives across the country are having symbolic "tea parties" to protest higher taxes and spending by the Obama Administration.  Thanks to environmental regulations, they can't actually put tea in bodies of water.

 

You have to read this Dilbert cartoon.

 

President Obama's budget will decrease charitable contribution deductions and redistribute wealth from rich to poor via a carbon tax.

 

We're still trying to figure out whether President Obama is ignorant or dishonest, this time on his statements regarding health care Tuesday night.

 

Clint Eastwood says that political correctness has made society humorless.  An example?  The mayor of Los Alamitos, California is going to resign after sharing an e-mail with a picture of watermelons planted on the White House lawn.

 

Reuters is just now figuring out what most of us already knew:  Obama is bringing back the era of big government.  Despite that, 59% of Americans still believe that government is the problem.

 

On a follow-up to something I mentioned yesterday, lobbyists are doing bigger business than ever.

 

The Senate attached to the DC Voting Rights bill measures on the Fairness Doctrine and on gun control.  The House will remove both.

 

An editorial from a Detroit newspaper (yes, there are still newspapers):  Obama can't win a war on business.

 

Lt. Gov. and candidate for Governor Casey Cagle supports the Sunday sales bill, but not Sunday sales.

 

The state Senate has passed the bill to prevent property assessment increases over the next two years.  While they're meddling in the ability of local governments to raise revenues, 19 members of the General Assembly haven't paid their own taxes.

 

Houston County commissioners warned yesterday that they might have to raise taxes next year.
