Some bits of information noted in our articles about the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline project: Many Nebraskans who oppose the pipeline project or who simply want the route changed are citing environmentalist jargon in making their case. Nebraskans who call themselves conservative are working with or supporting groups and individuals with whom they would normally […]
Short and Tweet: Iowa Blogger OWNS Obama, DC on Twitter, Mirth Ensues
Linda’s article “Debt Ceiling: I Laugh Because I Must Not Cry, That is All!” at the end of June included an embedded video entitled “Eat the Rich”, which vividly illustrated how the class warfare cries for imposing higher taxes on “the rich” isn’t even close to the right approach to solving our increasing economic […]
Collective Bargaining Bills Make Bad Political Theater at the Unicam (CIR)
Anyone in the mood to see a play? Well, just go down to the Unicameral and take a seat in the gallery. No need to buy a ticket. You see, if you pay taxes, you’ve already reserved your seat for this production. What’s playing? Ever heard of Waiting for Godot? It’s an absurdist play by […]
“Innovative” State of the Union: It Glows in the Dark!
I will confess that I did not sit through the whole State of the Union speech the other night due to a prior commitment. While I am so sorry for that, truly, (really, honestly…no, I mean it) I did catch bits and pieces during the replay later and then saw some more through the hash, […]

Step Away From The Hammer Mr. President
Thanks to the folks at 912 Omaha for sharing these two gems with everyone, thought we’d pass along: The songwriter’s website is here.
Firearms Safety Refresher Course
“Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.” – Thomas Jefferson This little gem has been making the email forward rounds, thought others may enjoy… “Firearms Refresher Course” An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject. A gun in the hand is better than a […]
You Need A Little Help With Your 401k
Although this little number was put together as a result of the Bernie Maddoff scam, it seems very appropriate, considering recent trends in the stock market. Capitol Steps is a Washington, D.C. based comedy troupe that’s been in existence for over 20 years. Traditionally, they’d been fairly even-handed in taking shots at politicians on both […]
