I know candy and sugar and stuff is bad horrible for me. I KNOW it.
And I know that when I eat garbage like that it only does more harm than it does good.
Except, for, you know, two things:
But when the government gets involved, BOOM goes the dynamite!

Wanna know why Unions are dangerous?
Because they are parasites. They take and they take without providing value.

Wanna know the only way to establish a monopoly?
Government regulations.
And I find it funny that the very same people who clamor when companies like Microsoft or Intel have a “strangle hold” on the market are the very same one who demand, DEMAND I tell you, that the government regulate a monopoly for something that they think needs regulating.
They did it again.
Inn an effort to “do something” about a “problem” people have turned to legislators to “fix” the “problem”.
And, in this case, the problem is…….
Cribs.
Drop-side cribs to be specific.
Done. Kahput. Banned.

As temperatures and humidity dropped this fall, parents in Johnston County learned about an unusual policy change in the schools.
Students can no longer bring lip balm to school without a note.
And why would the school do something like this?
Schools spokeswoman Terri Sessoms said the rule is in place to prevent the spread of germs when children share the sticks.
Now look, the schools should try to increase the health of—the schools. That is, the food they cook, the water they offer and the common areas they provide.
Saying that kids can’t bring lip balm?
Stupid.

I was getting the kids a haircut today. While waiting I came across one of the most incredible stories I’ve ever seen.
See, a reporter got a “scoop”, or whatever it it’s called when an idea for a story pops into your head, went down to investigate the same story, gathered facts, typed up a report and then MADE UP A CONCLUSION.
Serious.
The whole story talks about the facts of the situation and the reporter, Leslie Kaufman, simply made up her own conclusions. And this is the NY Times.

Here is how Democrats win elections:
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A public university in North Carolina is smarting after someone at the school sent an e-mail to students and employees urging them to vote early and help the Democratic Party.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednesday the e-mail was sent from the student-affairs division to about 6,400 staffers and students at Winston-Salem State University.
Manipulating elections is only illegal if your not a Democrat.
I honestly think that most people want things to work out for the better. That the decisions they make, the things they do, the hopes and dreams they have, will, in the end, make not only their llives better but the lives of folks around ’em too.
So, when I rage against Leftists it’s not because their heart is in the wrong place–it’s because their HEAD is in the wrong place.
For example, when a Liberal fights to establish a minimum wage, it’s because they wanna help the folks who are poor and can’t pay their bills.
When they fight for Social Security, they really REALLY wanna help provide for the elderly in their times of need.
And when they build ethanol plants they do it because they really seriously think that going green is the way to go.
But they’re wrong.
On minimum wage, on Social Security and on ethanol plants. Continue reading
