Dim Wits: Ban the Light Bulb!

January 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Grab the candles? Not really needed once you read the article. It appears that the libs are coming to the rescue of incompetent people who don’t again know what’s best for them.
Sacramento, Calif. — How many people does it take to change a light bulb? In California, the answer could be a majority of the […]

Allen County Drug Prescription Program?

January 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Didn’t catch this earlier. Interesting but the details are certainly lacking in the article.

Less than a week after introducing a potential county-wide prescription drug plan, Allen County commissioners are ready to introduce some competition.

Commissioner Dan Reiff will meet later this week with a group of local medical professionals interested in developing a program that would […]

Wal-Mart Fence Still In Lim(a)-Light

January 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Ten years ago it appears that Wal-Mat built a fence on property it doesn’t own. That’s the way the Lima News has it. Wal-Mart has cared for the fence because of the neighborhood nearby. The Plaza owners won’t do anything about it because it isn’t on their property. Wal-Mart is moving to a new location… […]

This is just what we know about what does exist. What about the number of ones that are unknown? Notice what is considered a problem? Private property. Hmmm.
While key entrance and exit points have been plugged in some of the biggest tunnels used to ferry people and drugs across the U.S.-Mexico […]

Thoughts for Tuesday

Just something thought might be of interest to a few readers. From here.
An elder in one of the Boland congregations (a rural church) is upset by the lack of effort by fellow Christians to restore the Day of Pentecost as an official religious observance. Under the old regime in South Africa, Pentecost was a recognized […]

Lima City Council & Wal-Mart

January 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment

It’s truly amazing that a business even wants to deal with the city of Lima. From the recent infighting over “sign” regulation to the latest snafu with Wal-Mart’s request for rezoning so that they can build a new store. To top it off you have a city councilman whose son is a drug dealer (allegedly) […]

Ohio Dems: Poll Worker Draft

January 28, 2007 | 2 Comments

Yes. The Dems are all for a draft. One day you go the mail box and your called to work the polls for 13 hours. Make arrangements with the baby sitter and tell your boss… you ‘ain’t’ coming to work that day. Or so the new Secretary of State says. I don’t think it will […]

In a move that will anger the libs and conservatives she was able to do something without really doing anything. On the one hand she remains willing to stick it out for 2 years… strong on war in her mind. On the other hand she has set a deadline which makes […]

Sunday Trackbacks: Gov Strickland might make a decision

January 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Trackback with any article you want featured. In the meantime Gov Strickland of Ohio couldn’t get the words out during the campaign. Simple words like “I will reopen LCI”. The talk went like… “We’ll look into it.” Is he changing his tune and prepping for the inevitable? Seems like it.
“We will look at prison population, […]

Border Agent Update

January 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I suppose that when injustice seems to reign it makes many things seem unjust. Perhaps the jailed border agents are not the hero’s we may have made them out to be. That said I still don’t believe the 10 years is a just punishment. Considering how the government has ignored blatant violation of the Nation’s […]

This is surely the dumbest thing since… well since “Dumb and Dumber”. Our government has successfully subdued our two agents from the border. Since the firestorm over the two agents who shot the drug dealer illegally here with $1 million dollars worth of drugs the newest development….
