Tax man Coming For All.
October 28, 2008
According to the latest from Joe Biden it looks like the rich in America has gone from $250,000 to $150,000. Some could call this a slippery slope to hedge all bets on increased taxation. Now, that it has inched a little closer to you are you concerned? No? Oh, because you don’t make the $150,000. I get it. What happens when it moves to a hundred, or seventy five thousand or less? Can’t happen? It’s the government and her politicians so anything and everything is possible.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama is now hinting that minimum wage should shoot up by at least another 2 bucks an hour—to over nine and a quarter—per hour. “Excellent” some say, that means more money for people who need it. Nope. It means employers fire employees and leave those remaining to do twice the work. Regardless of your political affiliations can we please agree on one thing—we’ve got a broken system in need of a fundamental overhaul and no one is offering the new ideas to fix it.
Sexists everywhere.

Racism is wrong. Period. We all get it, or at least most of us do. Why? Because racism is wrapped up in the belief that one person, or groups of people, is better than another. How is it that we will scream bloody murder over this issue but allow an equally terrible sickness like sexism to exist? There are new sightings of “Sarah Palin is a ‘c’” T-shirts proudly adorning the bodies of idiots and now, in California, a mannequin dressed as Mrs Palin is hanging in effigy and people are driving by, laughing and taking pictures.
If that was a likeness of Barack Obama you and I can only imagine how the press, politicians and racial industrialists would be acting but since it’s just the little missy—ain’t no big deal. It is a huge deal on several fronts—one, it’s sexism at its worst and two, it’s open season on anything Republican. The fact that either is tolerated in America—like they are—in 2008 speaks volumes about every single one of us.
$150,000 blunder.
October 23, 2008
I was surprised by the number of callers and e-mailers who believe the Republican’s $150,000 clothing spree for Sarah Palin was a wise and prudent decision.
Socialism is black?
October 22, 2008
A writer for the Kansas City Star is upset with John McCain and Sarah Palin for daring to use the word “socialist” when describing Barack Obama. “Shame on you both,” he wrote in this major newspaper for what he says is their use of the negative code word for “black.” Nope, I’m not kidding apparently everyone, but me, knows that socialists are always black and the use of the word is a racial epithet. Maddening.
What happened in jail?
October 17, 2008
Robert Cotton is dead, this much we know. He was murdered in the Maricopa County Jail, allegedly by Pete Van Winkle. What role did the jail and its deputies play in his death and that’s the question. Channel 5 showed surveillance video from the fateful day in May when the twenty minute beating took place—including Van Winkle allegedly dragging the lifeless body of Cotton out to the main floor so he could proudly declare what he had done. The television report made it look like the MCSO jail was responsible while representatives from the Sheriff’s office told me there story was a vendetta by the station because they want Joe Arpaio to lose in the upcoming election. A $2 million lawsuit by the victim’s family only adds more fuel to the fire. Meanwhile, a guy is dead, politics rolls on and the very violent video is making the rounds. Two things worth noting: 1) These criminals and their behavior are to be found everywhere in the valley and 2) I went to the jail and detailed what I saw on Friday’s show.
A Glimmer of Hope.

On Wednesday’s show I discovered a positive result from the morass that is this struggling economy and the misery left behind by the housing crisis. My question to the audience had to do with your neighbors—the ones you’ve had bar-b-qs and parties with—and whether or not they were still good neighbors if they just left the house behind instead of occasionally returning to do a little yard maintenance so blight and home devaluations wouldn’t continue in the area where they once lived.
Obama’s Tax Welfare.
October 14, 2008
Senator Barack Obama has been up by 11 national points over Senator John McCain though in the past few days the sometimes Republican’s numbers are within striking distance. So, tonight, if McCain has any hope for the White House he needs to dismantle Obama’s flaws—especially the ones that give him a huge lead where it’s not warranted—on the economy. Obama’s plan sounds great, “when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” No doubt it will attract votes, but it is unworkable.
ASU cuddles up to Ayers.
October 13, 2008
By now we have all heard that terrorist Bill Ayers is linked directly to Senator Barack Obama but how about ASU and, more specifically, your kids? Yep, it seems this un-repentant Weather Underground bomber has written a textbook that is required reading for ASU Education students while his video is a major source in the classes too.
This man is a terrorist. Period. His group threw gasoline bombs at police cars, planned attacks on Washington buildings including the Pentagon and held up a Brinks truck where two employees and two policemen were killed. Would you allow your student’s mind to be handled by one of the suicide killers on September 11th? How about the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan? Yet, somehow, from the pool of all educators in the world, terrorist Ayers is the selected professor at ASU? Buses on campus are required to remain radio silent because students can’t handle controversy but Ayers’ book is sold and his curriculum is taught without question. Ah, the value of a public education…
Bi-Partisan Blame.
October 10, 2008
The economy in America has officially crashed, followed by similar problems in countries around the world. And, with every dip in the DOW John McCain sees an identical drop in his approval ratings because, somehow, the guy who has never taken an earmark dollar is synonymous with a bad economy. This economy is in trouble because of greedy American citizens, conniving American businesses and both American political parties. Both of them.
No More Charity?
October 9, 2008
On September 16th, Phoenix police officer Barry Scott died. It was from complications he suffered from a blow to the head in his boxing match with a Chandler firefighter. The charity event known as guns and hoses is a staple in cities across America because of all the good it does for the community not to mention the camaraderie and competition.
Officer Scott was so proud to participate and he trained—hard– oh, and he died.
