Rant time. A news report this morning mentioned how Vegas is using a clinic built there and owned by the Cleveland Clinic as the lynch pin of their growing biomedical industry. Why, when the Cleveland Clinic announced they were building this did our local and state politicians not do everything possible to keep this in Ohio? There is something ( Read more... )

This got me to thinking; the other day an on line acquaintance on another forum asked the question: what is your nationality and don't say white, say which country your from because we're all immigrants. Now for me the Finnish side of the family is easy; all four of my mother's grandparents were born in Finland. The side of the family that I call ( Read more... )

Can you seriously not see the political strategy at work here? The Democrats got health care passed when NO ONE wanted it. Do you really think that they couldn’t get this thing done if they actually wanted to? They knew the Republicans would fight it, they let them and they let them win. Why? Mid term elections. Now they can say, “look what those ( Read more... )

I actually have a ton of work that I should be doing but the inspiration to post strikes me so seldom these days that I'd better act while the mood is upon me. This all came about as the result of a conversation between myself and my cousin, Bill, about the Glenn Beck rally. Bill is what I consider to be a redneck Republican: ie, he's a Republican ( Read more... )

For those of you who do not follow me on twitter, Friday night we had a little tornado touch down behind the house. It touched down about a half mile back in the woods of the neighbor to my west, cut across the south west corner of our farm and went through my neighbor to the south's woods until it blew itself out. This all happened at around 10pm ( Read more... )

I was just listening to a report on the radio regarding Arizona’s new anti-immigration laws. A resident of California proposed that instead of these new laws the Federal government put more troops on the border to keep out drug smugglers and not punish all illegal immigrants….not punish all illegal immigrants? So now its ok to break some laws but ( Read more... )

I've been listening to people freaking out about Arizona's new immigration laws for three days now. The liberals seem to be missing the point regarding illegal immigrants, that being, they're ILLEGAL. I see nothing wrong with Arizona having the balls to stand up and enforce a law that the federal government enacted ( Read more... )

I just heard a speech that Obama gave in North Carolina regarding the state of the economy and its recovery. I realize that a lot of you are still supporters of Obama who think he's doing a good job but speaking as someone who's been in business for nearly 30 years, get the hell out now while you can. By the time this dumb ass is finished we're not ( Read more... )

This entry probably isn't what you're expecting. Yes its about the health care reform. Am I upset that it passed? You're damned right I am. Its complete and utter crap legislation that does nothing to address the underlaying problems of our health care. Its nothing but an exercise in vanity perpetrated by its chief architect, Obama. At best all its ( Read more... )
