Oxendine's Obvious Shakedowns

Jobless claims were up again last week, and inflation was up last month.  Can anybody say "stagflation?"

 

The so-called "stimulus" weatherization program is bogged down by red tape, which is fine with me considering that the few houses they were able to weatherize cost $57,362 each.  More people believe that Elvis is still alive than believe that the "stimulus" created jobs.

 

Remember how I've told you that the Democrats use the fear of taking away Social Security and Medicare to get votes?  They've started doing that against Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann because she supports privatizing those two bankrupt entitlement programs..

 

Democrats are already trying to work around the pay-go statute to get their no-jobs bill passed.

 

Individual citizens are outperforming government in Haiti relief.

 

How long will it be before the nutcase who flew an airplane into an IRS office in Austin, Texas is labeled as a right-wing terrorist?

 

John Stossel says that education is too important for a government monopoly, and the Cato Institute calls government schools a huge jobs program.

 

A government bureaucrat who obviously can't process information tried to force a Florida man to pay child support for a kid that was born when the man was only 7 years old.

 

The Walking Ethics Complaint in 2003 told a bunch of auto insurance executives that they would "give [him] money because [they're] afraid not to."  Sounds like a shakedown to me.  Here's the full text of his speech.

 

Georgia could see up to two more Congressional seats after this year's Census.

 

A state Senate Committee passed a plan by Governor Perdue to take state bond money and use it for the general fund.

 

There was a school choice rally at the state Capitol this morning.  Hopefully the legislature was paying attention.

 

Yesterday the "Pants on the Ground" guy was at the Gold Dome.  He wants a law to force kids to pull their pants up.

 

It looks like the General Assembly is going to take a couple of weeks off to work on the budget without formally being in session.
