Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) at health care town hall in Des Moines meets with constituents who are less than pleased with the current health care plan. My friend Todd shared video, which I believe he took, of the same event where an outburst did occur. I think the guy was over the top, and unfortunately […]
Reforma
This ad cracked me up. Be sure to do your patriotic duty and report this to the White House! And be sure to let your Senator or Representative know at a townhall meeting near you, as well as, melt their phones or emails. HT: Hawkeye Review Update: For those of you who live in the […]
Grassley is Voting No Sotomayor’s Confirmation
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said he’s planning on voting against confirming Judge Sonia Sotomayor as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. In a statement that he sent out today he shares why: I’ve had the opportunity to vote on many judges and Justices since becoming a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. We […]

There are some who do it themselves. Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) for instance “tweeted” on Saturday: Wrenched back playing hockey. […]
AIG and Counter-Productive Rhetoric (Update: Great Point Made In Comments)
When I heard that AIG executives were being paid $165 million in bonuses despite the fact they’ve received billions in taxpayer money I was appalled. I had a real hard time wrapping my mind around the injustice of that. It really pissed me off. If you know me well, you know I rarely utter words […]
Palin in Des Moines
The kids and I attended the Sarah Palin rally held in Des Moines on Saturday at Hy-Vee Hall. Before going into Hy-Vee Hall I had to explain why people were out front protesting. I said I don’t know kids, because I certainly don’t have the time or interest to protest at Obama rallies. But they […]
