Mortgage Crisis Warning

Back in September of last year, Fox News aired a time line of the financial crisis on Special Report with Brit Hume. After it aired, I tried searching for the video, but it was no where to be found. But, thanks to an avid reader of this blog, that video has been found.


I don't know about all of you, but I've always thought that Barney Frank and Chuckie Schumer are idiots.

For the Inner Dork

Many of you know how fascinated I am in the exploration of space and NASA. So, it’s no surprise that I would keep people up-to-date on a scheduled launch. If all goes well in prelaunch procedures, the space shuttle Discovery will lift-off tomorrow night at 8:20 p.m CDT. After tomorrow night, NASA only has seven more launches of the space shuttle before the program's last scheduled mission on May 31st, 2010.


Watch if you can!

UPDATE: Launch moved to Sunday, March 15th at 6:34 p.m CDT.

Obama's Spending Bill

To all my Democratic friends out there, please tell me how these items listed below help the economy come out of a recession? All this looks like a bunch of pork barrel pig crap to me.


Pig odor control? Really?


From John McCain's Senate website:


Top Ten Porkiest Projects in the Omnibus Spending bill

10. $1.7 million "for a honey bee factory" in Weslaco, TX

9. $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah

8. $200,000 for a tattoo removal violence outreach program that could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past

7. $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center

6. $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah

5. $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi
