Two days after the election, and the Internet and Airwaves continue to be dominated by the impact that the Democratic takeover of Congress will have, and what the future will look like. I guess my blog is no different.

There is a lot being written and said about yesterday’s elections and what the next two years will bring. It doesn’t take a crystal ball to determine some of what the next few years will be like. Higher taxes.

It looks like it will be a long night here in Minnesota, and not a very good one. Fox News has called the Senate seat for Amy Klobuchar, and she is way out in front with 34% of precincts reporting in at this time (10:21PM). It is not ...

I recently began to refer to a syndrome of when politicians display a certain level of stupidity, like insulting our troops serving in Iraq, as Mad Senator Disease. Mike Hatch has redefined this syndrome as Mad Democrat Disease.

If you are a Christian running for office in Minnesota as a Republican, watch out! The religious bigots in the DFL and their lap-dog supporters in the media, are out to roast you.

I received a good laugh from the DFL in the mail this weekend. It starts out, “Dear Fellow Township Officers,” and goes on to explain how Pawlenty has gut LGA to the townships, yet doesn’t show supporting evidence. What it does state is that state aid to the ...

Egads, what an editorial in the Red Star Tribune. Colleen Rowley, the extreme Leftist and anti-liberate Iraq candidate for the Minnesota 2nd Congressional District, and Jerald Albrecht, a former officer of the Army Reserve, are attacking Bush policy on Iraq and the GOP in general.

Well, the DFL slime machine is at it again. This week, they are claiming that Congressman Mark Kennedy voted to increase federal spending by $3.6 TRILLION. What they count as a major part of that "spending" is making the Bush tax cuts permanent. Apparently, in the eyes ...

The Star Tribune editorial page is at it again, claiming Minnesotans are not taxed enough and can afford to pay more.
It’s a followup to an ad headlined "We can afford to pay more state taxes." Here’s the blurb:

This week, while commuting to downtown Minneapolis, I was amazed to see a small group of demonstrators calling to restore Aristide to power in Haiti. I wish I had my camera with me, so as to run some images of the signs they displayed. They were, of course, ...
