It is the time of the year when everyone over spends, runs up debt they will pay in the future. Unfortunately this is everyday in Washington and especially by this congress. They whipped out the taxpayer visa again and will pass a two-month, $200-billion-plus increase in the government’s ability to borrow as one of its final acts before closing shop for Christmas. This is better than a larger increase of up to $1.9 trillion to avoid having to cast another unpopular vote to increase the debt... Read Full Story
We listened to this president talk about a new climate in Washington. Remember change you can believe in, transparency, nation building, kum bay ya around the campfire and a brave new world.

The 1,088-page, $1.1 trillion measure would provide $447 billion in operating budgets for ten... Read Full Story
The Obama administration is proposing to spend over $3 billion to settle claims dating back more than a century that American Indian tribes were swindled out of from royalties for oil, gas, grazing, and other leases. The Interior Department would distribute $1.4 billion to more than 300,000 Indian tribe members to compensate them for historical accounting claims, and to resolve future claims. The government also would spend $2 billion to buy back and consolidate tribal land broken up in... Read Full Story
We are hearing reports that David Ogden the number two official at the Justice Department is going to step down. This is a strange departure as he was on the job for only 10 months. This is proof there had to be tensions between Ogden and Attorney General Eric Holder. Ogden, who is 56 years old, will be returning to the blue-chip WilmerHale law firm. This is where he was before he took the job at the justice department and has worked since 2001 after serving with Holder in the Clinton... Read Full Story
There is twice a year when the tea512 celebrates the day. Those days are May 12 which is 512 and December 5 which is 125. These depends on where you are standing on the globe as in England 512 is today but in the US today 125. This is where the 512 in the tea512 comes from; we will never say but works for us.

We're all well aware of the ugliness of racism, ageism, sexism and homophobia, but did you know that so-called 'gingers' - people with red, orange, or strawberry blond hair, are victims of 'gingerism' and being targeted by bullies for something so benign as their hair colour? Likely all of us have heard the jokes at one time or another, it's the one 'ism' that seems to be widely accepted as okay to indulge in, as if those with flame-tinted hair are somehow intrinsically different and...

I took the day off today. I needed a mental health day. Plus, I still felt like crap this morning from drinking too much on Saturday. It's gotten about 7 degrees warmer in the last few days, which may not sound like a lot, but it's a huge difference to me. The coolness of Spring doesn't last long here in the Sunshine State. I've been cooped up indoors for the last 48 hours, recovering from my over-indulgence this weekend -- so I decided to go to Plantation Heritage Park , not far from my... Read Full Story
We know we should not be surprised that New York Times is in the bag for the liberal, climate change freaks. Over the weekend they ran a story about a bunch of hacked emails that were pulled from realclimate.org. We will not bore you with how scientist send emails back and forth saying what stance to take to keep the fake global warming, climate change research grant money train on the track. We are not concerned with any of that we have stated numerous times these people cannot predict... Read Full Story
