Health Department Raids Community Picnic and Destroys Food

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

This is one of those love/hate stories.  I love it when the government goes after the liberal elite organic crowd.  They’re so certain that big government is better and regulators only go after evil businessmen.  That said, I really hate … Continue reading →

Because Social Security is run so well…

Posted on February 28, 2012 by twinkie reloaded

Californian Democrats want to institute a state-run pension program for private workers, too.  Senate Democrats have introduced SB1234, requiring private employers with five or more employees to enroll them in this boondoggle, “what they have termed a ‘personal pension program’ to … Continue reading →

Jindal, Obama, and Gas Prices

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

Ugh.  I filled up the gas tank yesterday and found myself silently cursing Obama – for killing the Keystone Pipeline (and thereby giving it to the ChiComs), for slowing drilling permits in the Gulf, and for acting like such a … Continue reading →

A Different Sort of Apology to Karzai

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

It’s probably unintentionally ironic that she’s wearing a headscarf, but I love it!  You go, girl!

The problem with moral equivalency

Posted on February 23, 2012 by twinkie reloaded

I’m tired of hearing nutter-butters tale about “animal rights” and say stupid things like “meat is murder.”  (Tasty, tasty murder).  By trying to elevate animals to the status of humans, all that really happens is that humans are degraded.  Take this nugget out … Continue reading →

Six Months After Gibson Guitar Raided, Still No Charges Filed

The Index of Dependence

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

The Heritage Foundation just published this chart showing the increasing number of American’s who don’t pay any income tax.  It’s up to 49.5%.  Think about that.  Granted, they’re still paying sales taxes and maybe, if they’re employed, payroll taxes, so … Continue reading →

The Laffer Curve strikes again

Posted on February 22, 2012 by twinkie reloaded

As someone who majored in political science, it is a little disconcerting to realize I have no idea what is meant by that term.  The word science in that term would imply to me an analysis of historical causes and effects … Continue reading →

Transnational Government?

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

Transnational government (i.e. the EU) doesn’t seem to be working out too well for Europe.  So I don’t like it when the UN reprimands the city of Sacramento, CA for not doing enough for its homeless people.  I like it … Continue reading →

Of Wine and Regulations

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

I’m not entirely sure how it happened, but yesterday I got swept into a barrel-tasting tour by the owner of a nearby winery.  I asked how he got involved in wine making, and he made what I thought was a startling comment. … Continue reading →

Entitlements for the Masses or a Safety Net for the Few?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

Last night, my county voted to close a long term care facility due to budget constraints.  I get it.  When funding is limited, hard choices have to be made.  But if you had the choice, which would you close?  A … Continue reading →

All You Need to Know About Obama’s Budget

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Mystic Cowgirl

Why all the red?  Because the President’s new budget proposal doesn’t deal with entitlements at all.  Taxes increase and so does debt as a percent of GDP.  Read the details here.  (FYI, the “Path to Prosperity” is the Ryan proposal). … Continue reading →
