California Legislature finally approves new budget
Taxes, taxes, taxes, and more taxes. Welcome to our future.
LA Times-Voting at dawn to end a three-month impasse, the California Legislature passed a budget package that addresses the state's massive deficit with billions of dollars in new taxes and program cuts after Democrats and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reached a deal with a GOP holdout.

In exchange, Democrats agreed to rewrite election rules that Maldonado said had allowed the Capitol to become paralyzed by partisanship, leading the state to the brink of financial ruin. read more...

Wholesale inflation takes biggest jump in 6 months
AP-Inflation at the wholesale level surged unexpectedly in January, reflecting sharply higher prices for gasoline and other energy products.Oh wow, and the "experts" didn't expect it to jump as high as it did! Still think they know what they are talking about?

The acceleration was led by a 3.7 percent surge in energy prices with gasoline prices jumping by 15 percent, the biggest gain in 14 months.

The Enid News-An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.The police are really becoming the thought police? I didn't know they were on that payroll.

Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over.
“I pulled over, knowing I hadn’t done anything wrong,” Harrison said in a recent phone interview. read more...

This video is awesome and it made my day to see it. At least there is some common sense out there. Unfortunately by the time the starry eyed dreamers realize the truth in this, there will be too high a price to pay.
