Guard Your Wallets! The General Assembly is Back in Session!

President Bush had his last press conference this morning, and he spent most of it defending his Presidency.  He did have a few regrets, however, including his effort to reform Social Security immediately after the 2004 election.  In an interview that aired Sunday, though, he continued to push for amnesty.

 

Ohio RINO Senator George Voinovich won't run for re-election in 2010.  Good riddance.

 

Who would have thought that Pravda would be more reliable than anybody in the American mainstream media?  They're actually reporting that earth is on the brink of an ice age.  Of course, people in…

·         Tok, Alaska, where temperatures reached -78 degrees;

·         Slovenia, where people were warned not to wear earrings due to freeze warnings after temperatures reached -49 degrees;

·         and Wisconsin, where temperatures are at record lows amid record snowfalls

…already knew that.  Which leads us to the real motivation for "global warming," socialism and big government.

 

Obama's climate czar has a history of environmentalist activity in the name of socialism.

 

Producers of alternative energy want a bailout.  Luckily for them, The Messiah has already mentioned that he wants them to get some of the stimulus money.  There are also members of Congress (one a Republican) who want to subsidize people putting solar panels on their houses.

 

One physicist has quantified the environmental impact of Google searches.  Just wait until they try to ban computers, just like they're already trying to ban large plasma screen televisions.

 

The United Nations Security Council called last week for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Gaza.  My favorite statement came from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, when he said that Israel "never agreed that anyone would decide for us if it is permissible to strike at those who send bombs against our kindergartens and schools."

 

The Senate had its first vote yesterday, to pass an omnibus lands bill full of big government and earmarks.  This is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the leadership of Mitch McConnell.

 

President Elect Barack Obama says that "everybody" will have to give something in his economic plan.  By "everybody" he means taxpayers only.

 

Public radio and TV want a $550 million bailout.

 

Chrysler wants more of your money, and Obama asked Bush for the rest of the TARP money.  Surprised?

 

If the United States was an individual asking for a mortgage, it would be considered subprime.

 

The Washington Post writes on the use of the race card in the "Age of Obama."

 

Two Houston County gas stations were among those forced to make retribution over "price gouging" in September.

 

Warner Robins was one of the first cities in Middle Georgia to submit its wish list to Congressman Jim Marshall's office.

 

State lawmakers are meeting again (so watch your wallets!) starting today, and Democrats think having Democrats in charge in Washington will give them more influence in state politics this year.  As we've said before, the biggest issue will be the budget, but there are a few other issues that will come up over the course of the session.  Also, Sunday sales might become a reality this year.

 

Secretary of State Karen Handel has announced that she is running for Governor in 2010.  That brings up a question:  is (or should it be) necessary to have a college degree to be Governor?

 

A college student from San Diego sold her virginity for $3.7 million to pay for graduate school.
