The opposite of secession...

I wonder how much money and trouble we could save by kicking California out of the union? It has become such an anti-American socialist cesspool that it seems to be almost foreign. It is an interesting Constitutional question....does the Constitution offer any mechanism for expelling states from the union? As I read it, the answer is no. But, what if we use the amendment process? There are two different processes for amending the Constitution. The first originates in Congress. The second is as follows..."Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments." This method has never been used. Now that free-market conservatives control the vast majority of state houses, it might be time to finally give this approach a try. The states that are fiscally responsible could issue an ultimatum to California; "Stop draining our resources, or we are going to propose an amendment removing your state from the union." It is the opposite of secession. And while we're on the idea...the Balanced Budget Amendment failed to get enough votes in the House last week.....why not use this approach to FORCE Congress to call the convention?

Some little things in life that piss me off...

Today was a bad day, and I'm still in bad mood, so here goes. These are things that piss me off... 1) Assclowns who suck at their job, yet think they are maestros, even AFTER I bail them out of their own mess. 2) People who drive 52 mph in the left-hand lane. 3) Being squarely in the middle of Virginia, yet having to deal with people who cannot speak English. 4) Standing in line behind someone writing a damn paper check at the grocery store. (I haven't had a check in over five years.) 5) When option #3 on the phone menu is "pay bill NOW" but it still takes another seven minutes. 6) When I even have to "press 1 now" to get an English menu in the first place. 7) When anyone says "ATM Machine"...I KNOW WHAT THE "M" STANDS FOR YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME!!!!! 8) When something so simple as a cheeseburger, fries, coke order gets screwed up. 9) When people who don't know what the hell they are talking about offer up advice about something I have been doing for ten years. 10) When I can't think of anything positive to write about. These ALL happened today...I guess the good news is that tomorrow HAS to be better.

More bias...

Obama said yesterday that Hawaii was in Asia. The press let it go. Imagine if Newt Gingrich had said that?....The story would've lasted three weeks. But, at least he was at home in Hawaii, the 57th state.

I think "mouse trap" would have sufficed...

Herman Cain's wife...

I watched Herman Cain's wife, Gloria, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren tonight. I really, really felt sorry for her. She seems like a wonderful, southern lady who never really wanted any part of any of this. And she certainly didn't want to be in the interview...it was obvious just by watching her. But, Mrs. Cain played along and comported herself very well. Greta should've realized how uncomfortable Mrs. Cain was, and limited the interview to a shorter segment. Usually, I think Greta is a great interviewer, but she stretched this one out too long just for the ratings. At this point, I don't believe the allegations against Herman Cain....and I'm going to make this prediction to prove my point. As Newt Gingrich moves into the front-runner position in the next couple of weeks, wait and see, a round of similar unsubstantiated charges will be brought against him as well. And soon, his wife, Callista, will likely be in the same position as Mrs. Cain. It is politics at its worst, and it disgusts me.

Let's all pitch in...

Maybe if we all send in $1, we can buy Ron Paul a jacket that isn't 3 sizes too big for his next debate.

Forget about Occupy Wall Street....

The White House has been occupied by a gang of radical leftists since January 20, 2009.
