Is Uncle Ted Killing Caroline’s Chances?

Posted on 28/12/2008 by Grumpa Joe

I don’t believe the liberal press and their treatment of Caroline Kennedy. One would think that after the way the press kissed Obama’s butt they would welcome Caroline with open arms. I could understand their treatment of Sarah Palin, but not Caroline.  Sarah presented a major threat to the Messiah and they had to annihilate her. [...]

Ocean Day

Posted on 26/12/2008 by Grumpa Joe

Give ‘em the Loan!

Posted on 15/12/2008 by Grumpa Joe

As angry as I am at GM,  Ford, Chrysler, and the UAW, I have decided to speak up for the bridge loan. It is so simple, yet I almost blew it. If these companies suddenly go out of business, we will be forced to buy foreign. Think about that for a minute. Where will all those cars [...]
