You thought Obamacare was just about health care, but it's also about travel and adventure. If you're a senior citizen with health issues, they have an Alaskan cruise just for you: (h/t Don Surber for the photo)

Citizen Journalists Rising - and Giving Obama Hell

GINA COBB (Free subscription) | 07/11/2009

After a year of "hope," "change," and hogwash, and with approval ratings of Obama sinking and of Congress sunk, Americans are mad as hell -- and an increasing number won't take it anymore. Via Don Surber, who adds Karen's Youtube remarks: “I’m a US Veteran — Democrat — citizen who is mad! During the Presidential address on Nov. 5, 2009, President Obama...

HolyCoast.com (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

Don Surber has some thoughts on Obama's response to the Fort Hood shootings: President Obama was at a meeting with American Indian chiefs on Thursday when news broke that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a psychiatrist, had gone berserk and shot and killed 12 people and injured 31 others at Fort Hood Texas. Rather than somber, President Obama began his remarks with a joking “shout-out”...

Especially if they're willing to take on radical militants (h/t Don Surber ): Encounters between militants and security forces are a common feature in Jammu and Kashmir, but this encounter, which resulted in death of two militant commanders, is perhaps the most “unusual”. In a first of the kind, two top Hizbul Mujahideen commanders have been killed in an encounter with wild bear...

Palin As a Third Party Candidate in 2012?

HolyCoast.com (Free subscription) | 03/11/2009

I don't think so, but as Don Surber reports , Glenn Beck is thinking that's where she's headed. I personally think it would pretty much guarantee the re-election of Obama since Palin on a conservative third party ticket would very effectively split the Republican/conservative vote between her and whoever is at the top of the GOP ticket, especially if that GOP nominee is an attractive candidate...

It's about guilding, not helping

Don Surber lays out the economic effects of raising the minimum wage back in 2007. By August of this year, teen age unemployment had hit 25.9%, the highest in 62 years. Certainly, a big part of that is the bad economy directly, but also the worse the economy, the worse the impact of a minimum wage.
