My #1 reference on the subject of growing vegetables at home for yourself and your family is without question the April/May 2009 issue of Mother Earth News on the best crops by region. This issue tells you all you need to know on crops that naturally thrive where you live. My overriding goal is to […]

Armey and Kibbe – the Most Important Team in Conservatism
A Tea Party Manifesto – Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe, The Wall Street Journal You deserve proper representation. That’s why the November elections cannot be about the same old Republicans vs. Democrats, as usual. We have already been down the “government can solve your problems” road. There’s a better way. Democrats, Republicans and Independents who […]
So Much for America
The End of American Optimism – Mort Zuckerman, The Wall Street Journal The U.S. is languishing in a non-recovery. Brief glimpses of a faux-recovery were seen when the president’s stimulus bill falsely signaled that the economy was on track. America though, is still 2.5 million jobs short of having even an 8% unemployment rate. Mort […]
The Terrifying Enemy in the Desert
Here is an interesting foe the Obama crowd may not be telling the parents of national guard troops about when they are wrongly sent off to the Afghan human sinkhole. Camel Spiders (Solifugids, not actually spiders, more like scorpions) – They can be up to six inches long. Don’t get too worried though, these big arachnids have […]

The Repaving of America
How do you like the American Repaving and Redistribution Act so far? Pretty, isn’t it? These first two pictures are of the freshly laid blacktop sloppily poured along the off-ramp entering Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, where I grew up. Who is going to be walking here, nearly a mile out of town? The only destination here is […]
Private Insurance is Still Cheaper
Washington vs. Paul Ryan – Review & Outlook, The Wall Street Journal After passing the most destructive new legislation in decades (Obamacare, in case there was any doubt), Democrats are hammering Congressman Paul Ryan’s proposals for alternatives. The recognition that the GOP has alternative proposals should pop the “party-of-no” bubble mantra that the Democrats have […]
Democrats Rob Poor to Pay Unions
Democrats Rob Food Stamps to Pay Teachers – Audrey Hudson, Human Events Democrats are using the same kind of deficit voodoo that they used to pass Obamacare to now bailout their favored union constituencies. Teachers unions and service employees (led by the SEIU) have been paid their dues by the Democratic government in power. Over $26 […]
Wow! Free-Range Chickens
Have you finally found the fresh food jackpot? No, not by a long shot. The designation “free-range” is among the biggest frauds in the food industry. Trust me, I know this firsthand. On a Harley road trip last summer, Deb and I decided to ride to northern New England to tour what is arguably the […]
Stop the Lame Duck Session Today
Price: The Lame-Duck Threat – Robert Costa, National Review Congressman Tom Price, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, has moved to prohibit the House from having a two month lame-duck session that would normally come after the November elections. Without the session, Democrats would have no chance to move their policy plans forward without the […]
