They’re at it again. The “thought police” are trying again, courtesy of home-grown nutjob, John Conyers, Jr. (from my home state of Michigan – I am SO not proud!), to add to the list of people in this country who should get more protection under the law than the average garden-variety citizen.

Good points today about the latest Obama to socialize/nationalize the financial system in this country from Dick Morris:

I am sooooooo tired. I was in Hillsdale on Monday, Cassopolis yesterday, and Lansing this morning, plus I have to go to Detroit tomorrow morning. Tanner has a vet appointment on Saturday morning, too, so that will be a bad day to try to get my sleep caught up. On the way back from Lansing [...]

Don’t ask me why, but I have the weirdest feeling that all is not well at my workplace. I’m not sure if it’s directed at me, or if it’s just in general, but I offer the following:
