Say Anything: Attention North Dakotans: Activist Training Coming Up In Minot Next Month

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:34:00 -0500

After having helped organize several tea parties across the state over the summer I keep getting asked again and again “We’ve had tea parties, what do we do now?”

Well, there are a lot of things we can all do. I can sum them up with: “Just do something, every little [...]

Say Anything: Is The North Dakota US Attorney Appointment Hinging On The Fargo Ticket Class Action Suit?

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:06:00 -0500

Months after former US Attorney Drew Wrigley stepped down, and after multiple public airings of frustration from Senator Byron Dorgan about the matter, North Dakota still doesn’t have a new US Attorney appointment.

I’ve posted several times before about an apparently battle going on between backers of NDGOP money man and [...]

Say Anything: EPA Declares Air You Exhale To Be A Danger To Your Health

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:56:00 -0500

That’s right. You can’t even lay quietly on your couch and breathe shallowly without exhaling dangerous pollutants.

The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people’s health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary. [...]

Say Anything: As Media Struggles To Make Online Content Pay People Start Blocking Ads

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:34:00 -0500

This Wired article about online ad blockers caught my eye. As a purveyor of online content I’m tempted to call these people Communists.

Ok, not really, but all joking aside this is a pretty serious point.

We’ve all seen articles about how the traditional media [...]

Say Anything: Harry Reid: If You’re Opposed To Government Health Care You’re For Slavery And Against Women Voting

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:31:00 -0500

Uh, yeah. Sure. That’s fair.

Resorting to this sort of thing indicates that the liberals are getting pretty desperate on health care.

Say Anything: Earl Pomeroy Backing Away From His Health Care Vote Again

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:21:00 -0500

Over the weekend the Grand Forks Herald reported that Rep. Earl Pomeroy was backing away from his unpopular vote for government health care (which 62% of North Dakotans oppose, 48% strongly) in the House again:

Rep. Earl Pomeroy, [...]

Say Anything: Permanent Death Tax Earl Pomeroy Sponsored And Passed Doesn’t Index For Infation

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:08:00 -0500

Why is that important? Because over time the dollar value of your property goes up due to inflation even though it’s real value doesn’t.

A bill that would make the 2009 estate tax level permanent – 45 percent and $3.5 million per person exemption – has' [...]

Say Anything: Dorgan The Hypocrite Suddenly Opposed To Federal Land Designation

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:53:00 -0500

For some time now I’ve been writing about the Northern Plains Heritage Area controversy here in North Dakota (you can read all my past posts here). The NPHA is a federal National Heritage Area land designation that was passed through support from Senator Byron Dorgan and [...]

Say Anything: “Tea Party” Beats GOP In Generic Polling

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:45:00 -0500

And there isn’t even really an organized “tea party” beyond state-level, grassroots organizations.

And those are more advocacy groups than political parties that are running candidates.

In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party [...]

Say Anything: NPR Reporter Warned By Bosses To Stay Off Fox News

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:16:00 -0500

Government broadcasting network NPR apparently told reporter Mara Liasson, a regular on Fox News, to reconsider her appearances there.

Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived [...]

Say Anything: Obama’s National Job Approval

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:18:00 -0500

Not looking good for the rookie President!

That chart kinda reminds me of something, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Oh, yeah!

Say Anything: Why Are Airline Mergers And Flight Destinations The Business Of Senator Dorgan?

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:55:00 -0500

Reading this article something struck me. Why is Senator Byron Dorgan involved in airline industry mergers? Why is he involved in deciding where these airlines will schedule flights to?

Seems to me that private companies merging with one another is the business of those companies. And a business [...]

Say Anything: Democrats Calling Republicans The “Party Of No” Again

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:36:00 -0500

Which is a refrain we’ve heard before. Back in 2005 Democrats were calling then-Vice President Dick Cheney “the Grinch” for his holiday time, gridlock-breaking Senate vote to pass spending cuts.

Frankly, I love it when Republicans are “the party of No.” It means' [...]

Say Anything: Senator Baucus A Repeat Offender When It Comes To Mixing Sex And Work

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:16:00 -0500

Over the weekend it was revealed that Democrat Senator Max Baucus from Montana had nominated his then-mistress for a federal appointment as US Attorney for Montana. That’s bad, but it turns out that [...]

Say Anything: My Sister Meets Her Old Basketball Teammate Sarah Palin

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 08:02:00 -0500

Over the weekend my mom and sister drove 10 hours down to South Dakota to surprise Sarah Palin doing a book signing there. My sister showed up in her 1982 Alaska basketball state champions t-shirt.

Toward the end of the video you can see my mom hugging Sarah, and hear her [...]

Say Anything: Google CEO Eric Schmidt: Hey, Maybe We Should Cut Taxes Instead Of Deficit Spending On “Stimulus”

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 07:48:00 -0500

Gee, ya think?

Schmidt isn’t terribly excited by the idea of implementing a second stimulus to ignite hiring.

“What they really need to do is change the tax incentives so that the private sector does the hiring,” he said.

Google gets it. Why don’t the Democrats?

Say Anything: Climategate Scientist Threatens To “Cut Off” Reporter For Unflattering Story About Copenhagen Summit

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 07:26:00 -0500

Andrew Revkin is a reporter who blogs for the New York Times about global warming news. He’s also pretty much in the tank for the climategate scientists given his refusal, to date, to publish any of the climategate emails and acknowledge the damage they do to human-caused global warming alarmism.

Along [...]

Say Anything: Obama/Democrat Deficits For Two Months Bigger Than Entire Bush/Republican Deficit In 2006

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 07:12:00 -0500

Not that there’s anything good about a $248 billion budget deficit over the course of a full fiscal year, but that’s certainly better than Obama and the Democrats’ $292 billion deficit over these first two months [...]

Say Anything: Time Calls The Last Decade The “Worst” Decade “From Hell”

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:43:00 -0500

Why? Well they give a number of reasons. Katrina. 9/11. The “fiasco” in Iraq (which, last time I looked, was more of a success story than a “fiasco”). But I suspect most of it just boils down to the fact that they really, really hated having a Republican in the [...]

Say Anything: Time Calls The Last Decade The “Worst” Decade “From Hell”

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:39:00 -0500

Say Anything: Googlegate?

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:08:00 -0500

Google has been alleged to lean somewhat to the Left, and they have been criticized for the conspicuous absence of graphics in their logo to commemorate a number of patriotic holidays.
But this example of bias is rather troubling. Over [...]
