In & Out of The Studio

Conservatives Condemn Liz Cheney’s ‘Al-Qaida 7′ Attack Ad – AOL News. Just when you think that Dick Cheney may have finally gone away he rears his ugly head in the form of another Cheney, daughter Liz.

It would seem that GM has exhausted it’s options to unload the Hummer division. Even the Chinese in their crazed effort to be larger than life have taken a pass on this one.

Congratulations to the good citizens of Oregon for having the common sense to do the right thing. Maybe the Tea Party morons can take a lesson from this. Raising taxes on those who can afford to pay them is not the end of the world or the the hallmark of Socialism. It just makes sense.

States Lower Test Standards for a High School Diploma – NYTimes.com.

How sad and pathetic is this news. We are rapidly making sure that the United States will produce an underclass of functionally illiterate morons who will be unemployable in the competitive marketplace and produce nothing of benefit to the society at large.
