Lots on Hillary Today

I promised to explain this on Wednesday, but didn’t get around to it.  To make it up to you, I will lead with it today:  Hillary’s “Baby Bond” idea is not popular with Americans.  A Rasmussen poll shows that by a 2-to-1 margin, Americans oppose the idea.  Minorities and young people are more likely to support it.

 

Here’s a guy who should be expecting a pink slip soon:  CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano said that “There are definitely some inaccuracies” in algore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth.”  Questioning algore and the global warming cultists just won’t be tolerated at that left-wing network, even when a scientific study proves that the sun is still the main force behind climate change.  Don’t expect to hear about this study anywhere else.

 

Speaking of algore, the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think-tank based in Chicago, has spent $700,000 on newspaper ads challenging the high priest of environmentalism to a debate.  So far, no answer.

 

Here is a guy who has spent too much time around lawyers:  a 51-year-old undergrad student at UMass-Amherst didn’t like his grade in a class, so he sued.

 

John Stossel wrote a column last week on the problems with the health insurance system.  This week, he looks at a possible solution, which would save a lot of people a lot of money, make them healthier, and make individuals more responsible for their own health care.

 

Experts say that Mitt Romney’s health care plan that he introduced in Massachusetts is almost the same as HillaryCare 2.0.

 

Hillary wants to legalize federal funding for stem cell research, saying that would bring integrity to science.

 

Here is even more reason to hate the New York Yankees.  They have been wasting taxpayer dollars, calling it “planning costs” for their new $795 million dollar stadium that is also taxpayer subsidized.

 

The government teachers’ union endorsed Hillary.  No surprise here.

 

New York University is installing footbaths for Muslims.  They don’t pass up an opportunity to insult Southerners either, because of course we are backwards for not being so tolerant to the Islamist agenda.

 

Michael Chertoff gave environmentalists reason to support securing the border, saying that illegals “degrade the environment.”  I’m not holding my breath on that one.  Illegals also cost Los Angeles County alone $35 million in a single month.  This is why it amazes me that a judge could block a program to report illegals.

 

Speaking of illegal immigration, Hillary wants to create an amnesty that also includes families.  She also wants to cut the Hispanic dropout rate from government schools in half.

 

Here’s some local news:  Macon Mayor C. Jack Ellis is considering running for Congress.  If anybody could make “Crazy Aunt” Cynthia look sane, it’s Ellis.
