When Mitt Romney stepped out of the presidential ring, I endorsed Ron Paul for a few months while he was still running for president. The main reason why is because of his clarity on monetary issues. This interview is an excellent overview of his understanding of the Free Market. Ron Paul: This Bailout Won’t Be the Last

I recently chatted with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) about the gigantic financial bailout that the government is preparing to undertake.
Some excerpts from the interview: What’s your take on this huge financial bailout?
“It’s more of the same. More debt and more inflation and more pressure on the dollar. Ultimately, although the markets are responding very favorably at the moment, I think it is going to be devastating to the dollar and to our financial situation in this country.”
Everyone in the world would be safer if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was locked up. We all know where he is going to be tomorow. Why don’t we just arrest him at the UN??? UPDATE: Elie Wiesel Urges U.N. to Indict Ahmadinejad QUOTE: UNITED NATIONS —
“Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel urged the United Nations on Monday to indict Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for inciting genocide rather than allow him to speak at the U.N. General Assembly.”
Great idea Mr. Wiesel! Please, someone lock him up! Jenny Hatch
Allison and Jeff went to the homecoming festivities at our school this past weekend. I took this picture of them as Allison was heading over to her friends house to get dressed. Jeff went to a pre dance BBQ with a bunch of his friends and they all went to the dance as a group.

PS A clue as to which one is real…It has to do with a certain senator who lied about the nature of his first wifes death to score political points with the democratic base. What else has Joe Biden LIED about??
Sarah Smile!
1972 crash still haunts driver’s family
I wonder if the Media will jump on this one….naw…(mebbe just maybe if it had somethin’ to do with Sarah)….but Joe??? Nope. Not interested.
“Two days after the crash, Herlihy, a neighbor of the Bidens in the late 1960s who still considers the senator “a friend,” told the paper that there was no evidence that Dunn “was speeding, drinking or driving a truck with faulty brakes.” No criminal charges related to the crash were ever filed against Dunn, who lived in North East, Md.
Hamill, one of seven children, was 8 years old at the time of the accident. She remembers her father watching news reports of the crash while wearing a sling to support a shoulder injury he suffered in the accident.
She said Dunn was always “solemn” around the Christmas holidays. Years later, when her brother planned to get married on Dec. 18, Dunn told the family “I don’t celebrate on that day,” Hamill said.
“We’re not trying to equate Sen. Biden’s loss to my father’s heartache,” Hamill said. “But we wanted it to be known that our father never forgot that tragic day.”
Hamill said it wasn’t until the Inside Edition report that she became aware that the Delaware senator had said alcohol played a role in the accident. Dunn did not consume any alcohol the day of the crash, Hamill said.
She said she immediately called Biden’s office after being contacted by Inside Edition and is waiting for the senator’s response.
“The family feels these statements are both hurtful and untrue and we didn’t know where they originated from,” Hamill said.
As Hamill watched a recording of the Inside Edition report Wednesday, she gasped when the clip of Biden’s comments from Iowa came on screen.”
Judith Reisman: The outright loathing often displayed for Todd and Sarah Palin’s refusal to abort Trig Palin and to welcome their surprise grandchild begins, in many ways in the 1950s.
After winning World War II, Americans saluted life, babies, pregnancy and large families. Other, more urbane nations often mocked us as a “child-centered” society. We were.
Children in big families generally had to learn to share and work, was the idea. These youngsters would become adult taxpayers, men and women who would build, support and protect America.
By the late 1950s however, women who saw motherhood as service to society and who dreamed of scores of little kids to nurture, were suddenly caught in the crosshairs.
A new wind had blown in from academe. Chic “mental health” professionals were suddenly sneering at homemakers, even part-time working moms, accusing them of “momism” and “smother love,” that was producing weak sons and aggressive daughters.
I had been ignoring the sneering columns in the press and ladies magazines about motherhood being parasitical and wasting women’s talent. I had four great daughters and worked part time as a songwriter and television performer.
Wherever my “little women” and I wandered, we were greeted by admiring glances and benevolent looks. That changed so suddenly I can remember the day I saw motherhood mutate from reverence to resentment.
It was August 1963. I had dismissed the doomsday warnings in the press that overpopulation was going to cause starvation and famine. As I walked down a grassy slope holding my littlest child’s hand, an irate voice behind me shouted, “Don’t you know how to prevent that?”
I turned and knew those glaring eyes and spiteful words were meant for me. I should have “prevented” one, or all of my four daughters.
Almost overnight I started to hear censure of my reproductive behavior. Even the public body language subtly changed. Few folks smiled upon my happy little troupe any longer. Jenny Hatch with my nephew Jonah, a few hours after his birth!
