by: MichelleSelesky

Yesterday, I published an article on the University of California protests and why California Should Put Students First. The vote to increase student fees has now passed. This is Part II in my series.

The homepage of the University of California declares:

Democrats Evading Constitutionality Questions on Mandates

The question of the constitutionality of health insurance mandates has turned out to be a slippery one for supporters of the current healthcare reform bill. The Federal Government is undoubtedly wading into uncharted waters by requiring, under threat of fine and imprisonment, that individual Americans purchase a service. At town hall meetings across the country, [...]

Did Lou Dobbs Have His Howard Beale Moment?

In 1976, the movie Network was released about an anchorman (no, not Ron Burgundy) who was being dropped because his ratings were sliding into the toilet. The late Peter Finch played Howard Beale who is fired by the fictional UBS network.
That day, Mr. Beale starts his broadcast, like all the others before, only this time, [...]

California Must Put Students First (VIDEO)

On November 19, 2009 at 6:32 pm

When you are a state with a $20 billion deficit, it is completely unreasonable and bordering on insane to increase spending. Add to that 12% unemployment (more like 20% when you count part-time workers and those who have given up looking), and it is even more foolish to raise costs on citizens already being crushed [...]

Oh MAN, this can’t be good!

On at 6:16 pm

If you’re President Barack Hussein Obama… Man this is not good…
I guess bowing to other world leaders has its price huh? Or maybe just having really stinky policies that no one likes and even fewer want…
Rasmussen is by far the most reliable polling mechanism out there. He’s gotten the closest to the actual election results [...]

Nutmeggers Make A Choice

Chris Dodd is anything but popular these days.  A recent Quinnipiac poll found that a large majority of Nutmeggers (those from Connecticut) disapprove of Dodd’s performance by a whopping 54% to 40%.  Of the same people polled, 46% believe that a generic Republican could do a better job at handling the economy than Dodd (where [...]

Why it pays to GO ROGUE!

The producers at Oprah Winfrey attempted to advise the big O to not have Sarah Palin on her show prior to booking the former VP Candidate. Evidently a steady stream of higher than normal negative e-mails were coming in and the producers felt it would be unwise to have such a divisive character mar the [...]

Meet Jesse Kelly: A Young Conservative Running for Congress

I don’t wear blue blazers. I can’t stand them. They’re banned for my staff as well. No, really…close your eyes and try to picture the stereotypical young conservative…blue blazer, khakis, hair styled into that “southern sweep”…. it’s like we all got together and decided to be Alex P. Keaton clones! It’s pathetic…
My name is Jesse [...]

Biden mocks Obama by bowing to Jon Stewart (VIDEO)

Joe Biden, the gift that keeps on giving, once again proves that President Obama would be better off locking him in a closet and leaving him there until 2012. On his latest appearance on The Daily Show, Mr. Vice President greets Jon Stewart with a deep bow, akin to the one given by Mr. Obama [...]

Still Sitting?

These days it seems that you’re not someone in the news until you’ve had your sex tape discovered. Not surprisingly, media darling, Carrie Prejean, is not exempt. With all the bad press this poor girl has gotten, I would be very surprised if they hadn’t dug up some dirt about her.
The ever-tenacious media waited patiently [...]

Suzanne Somers Was Not Even A Good Sheriff, Now She Wants To Be Your Doctor

I am not a big fan of Newsweek. But every once in a while it is worth something. Patrice Wingert recently had a post on the Newsweek Human Condition Blog about a new book authored by Suzanne Somers. Ms. Somers’ tome; Knockout, Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer, is a look at “alternative medicine” as an [...]
