The latest “investment” of our wonderful government to advance the hybrid auto industry comes at the hands of none other than former Vice President Al Gore, award winning commentator and Nobel Peace prize winner.  The “investment”?  The hybrid vehicle, dubbed the “Karma”.  The price?  A paltry $89,000. Mr. Gore has already plunked down money [...]

As promised, I have received the following response and post it now for your reference:
Graphic Edge has reopened online http://www.graphicedgeonline.com , and a portion of the proceeds from sales will go to our legal fund to help in our fight against our wrongful eviction from the Mall at Johnson City.
The website will be expanding and [...]

Here is a link to eaglesviews.org addressing the president’s position to “take it slow” regarding the request to send more troops to Afghanistan.  I will let the writer’s words say it all:

Okay, I have to add one word: PATHETIC!

Two months ago, Dan Fuchs set up a kiosk in the Johnson City Mall in Johnson City, Tennessee.  He said business at ‘Graphic Edge’ was slow until a customer approached him with a request to print an anti-Obama bumper sticker.  Business began taking off and the anti-Obama slogans soon constituted 60 per cent of his [...]

Is it Monday again already?  Well, hope you all survived the week gone by and are ready to hear Uncle Jay explain, in his own special way, wha’ happened?  Anyway, his word for the week is “divulge”; give it a listen and have a great week!

Reading an article this morning addressing the government facing a negative cash flow for the next two years regarding the payout of Social Security benefits to early retirees (see link below), I found myself intrigued by the following excerpt from that article:
Those funds have actually been spent over the years on other government programs. They [...]

I may be at the beach, but it’s always time for Uncle Jay!
Here is the link to this week’s Uncle Jay.  The word for this week is “civility”.  Pay attention to the ending; it is a surprise.  Give it a listen and have a great, civil week!

Heading for the Pacific Ocean for a few days of rest and recuperation.  Have a safe and full circle thinking week!

Today, I read an article by someone named Raina Kelley, who addresses at great length the issue of race.  In it, she takes the stand that much of the country is taking issue with president Obama simply because of the color of his skin.  Here is the link:

I think she is being sincere, just sincerely [...]

In reference to the economic hardship that many in this country are experiencing lately, today’s post involves a “typical” shopping day at the Farmers Market with Michelle Obama.  It seems that she was out of “certified organic Tuscan kale” and needed to get some more.  No problem, right?  Just hop in the car and drive [...]

This country recently did what it had never done before in its history: it elected an African American president.  But, according to many, including former president Jimmy Carter, we are still racists, especially if we disagree with our first black president.  But, is that true?  The following link addresses that question, somewhat admittedly with tongue [...]

Well, here we go, folks!  Now we have the illustrious Jimmy Carter weighing in, calling Joe Wilson and all the tea baggers racists.   Check the link with video:

Now check the following link with video of Joe Wilson’s response:

Mr. Carter: aren’t you from the south?  Didn’t you own a peanut plantation?  You admitted to “lusting after [...]

I am going to post this email I received yesterday and leave it to you to “do the math” and then ask yourself one question:
Would anyone in their right mind (outside of the government) think this to be a wise investment?

A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons [...]

Last week, during president Obama’s speech before Congress regarding his push to nationalize health care, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted out “you lie!” when Obama was attempting to make the point that no illegals would qualify for federal dollars in order to get medical treatment under the new plan.  As a result, all hell broke [...]

The following link is an excellent source for present (and future) czar appointments as well as positions.  It also gives some background on each “czar” that will get you on your way to educating yourself as to what is going on “behind the scenes” in Washington D.C.

Take the time to educate yourself.  Remember: knowledge is [...]

Uncle Jay’s word for this week is “distort”.  Click on the link and give it a listen:

Have a safe and informed week.

After the outburst during president Obama’s speech on health care the other day, Joe Wilson apologized.  But, according to the following link from MSNBC, he was not wrong.  As a lead-in to the article is this quote; a most revealing quote that gets right to the point as to why Mr. Wilson was so vocal [...]

Not much to say here.  Just click on the link, read the article and form your own opinion.

Is it too late?

I realize this is one day after the annual 9-11 memoriam but, there is so much going on, so forgive me.  At any rate, one of the things that occurred to me is: after eight years, we have yet to see a new building occupying the footprint of the World Trade Center brought down [...]

There are more than 30 “Czars” currently “advising” the president, unelected and accountable to virtually no one other than the president himself.  This is nothing less than another form of the Saul Alinsky school of thought called “overwhelming the system”.  With Van Jones gone (?), we still need to stay the course; but the question [...]
