This Just In...Baron Votes in Favor of Tyranny
The results are in on the late night vote for the so called "health care" bill and it is no surprise. Baron Hill rode the fence as long as he could, but in the end bowed to pressure from Madame Pelosi and voted yes. After some goodies were added to sweeten the deal for those wavering on the vote, the total for the bill reached $1.4 trillion over ten years. John Yarmuth also voted yes. The final tally was 220 for and 215 against. Five votes, just five votes for a bill that Baron could have killed in committee. It is a sad day for this country and our descendants. If this blatant power grab passes the Senate, our government will control about 15% of our nation's economy. Please contact your senators without delay. Remind them of last Tuesday's elections and what the future holds for them if they continue this madness. One final comment... Run Mike, Run.

Today is the Day
A big health care vote maybe? The release of the "G.I. Joe" movie on Blue Ray? Try this on for size...the CBO announced that the nation's debt will zoom past $11.9 trillion today. Oh yeah, trillion with a "T". It will hit $12 trillion by year's end. How much longer can the dollar stand against this full on assault? How much longer will the people sleep before they rise up? Well, today is also the off year election day. Today is the first judgement day of Obama's policies. Look for the message to be loud and clear.

Ocular Penetration Act of 2007
Seriously, this is funny. I wonder if this is actually a part of Health Care
PeloBamaCare: And the magic number is ...
111. That's the number of new government agencies that get created. Get the whole list here:
Million new jobs created, huh? Guess where they all get created? Yep, you got it, Mr & Mrs America. Federal Government.

Hoosier Hysteria
This post won't matter much to the "Progressives" that sometimes read here, but I believe there is still something to be said for New Albany beating Jeff on the hardwood. I love this time of year and all the history and tradition that goes with basketball in Indiana. I hope you enjoy...
The echoes from the hardwood
and the cheers from the rafters
The championship banners that hang
for generations after
The dreams of the future
in a little boy's stare
The thoughts of a March run
in the cold November air
The practice and pride
and screaming are for a reason...
Once again in Indiana
it is basketball season.
Good luck and I hope your team does well.

More On Executive Orders
Next on the list of JFK signed executive orders is number 11002. This one is not so covert. It plainly states that the U.S. Post office will have the power to register people for "readiness" under the newly developed FEMA. There is even a few lines about cooperation between the post office and the Department of Defense. This particular order can be used and misused in so many ways. Do you think the national I.D. is far fetched? Why do we get our passports at the post office? Here is the text:
