Here you go. Height of Hypocricy. The Republicans are out there bashing gays and then they come out. Who's next? since Ann Coulter is not a subject of interest any more, I am waiting for either Rush or Glen Beck.

Hats off to Barney Frank for being one of the early one to come out and thereby signalling to these folks that there is nothing wrong to publicly state their sexual orientation.

Entitlements Out of Control

Unfortunately my photo of the price listings at Acadia National Park turns out to be insanely blurry. My point, however, was that the National Park Service’s senior citizen discounts are absurdly generous. An “America the Beautiful” pass to all National Parks for one year costs $80, whereas U.S. citizens over the age of 62 can get a lifetime pass for just $10.

I think the deficit commission ought to take this on and leave Social Security alone

There is so much waste on so many levels........an army people need to spend a year figuring out where it is and providing alternatives. Instead of a Constitutional convention, we need a budget convention.
