Charles Martel really slaps you in the face with some straight talk about Republicans and ethnic minorities.  The Big Tent is Empty.

Mark Hendrickson explains the partisan divide between big city folks and those who live closer to reality in the countryside.

Mark Steyn adds to the subject of race-obsessed politics with his column, Tribal America

Jill Kelly apparently seduces generals for both fun and profit.  She is horribly in debt and was allegedly peddling her imaginary influence to businessmen.  She would be a classic candidate for selling secrets and is the reason why people in positions of power need to avoid compromising relationships.

Here is a truly sick and disgusting government program.  In this time of exploding deficits, the Obama administration is working with the Mexican government to increase the use of food stamps by illegal aliens.  Think of it as a Democrat voter registration drive with the cost passed on to your grandchildren:

In honor of Jess’s post on the demise of Twinkies:

From my daughter, Holly:

1)Only in America, could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

2) Only in America, could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black.

3) Only in America, could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

4) Only in America, can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

5) Only in America, would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just ‘magically’ become American citizens.

6) Only in America, could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as”extremists.”

7) Only in America, could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

8) Only in America, could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

9) Only in America, could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year – for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.

10) Only in America, could the rich people – who pay 86% of all income taxes – be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.
