Barack Obama made some comments recently about the Buffet Rule.  In them he brought with him some of the "wealthy" that he says support the idea of paying more taxes.  In his comments, he talked about Ronald Reagan and how he talked about a "return to fairness" and said that the Buffet Rule could really be called the "Reagan Rule...

It's about time someone puts a stop to wasteful spending of my tax dollars in Louisiana.

One of the best commercials you have not yet seen

If you look closer, this list should reveal more about the election than you might think.

First let me say I am a patriotic American and an LSU fan. That being said I think you can take being a fan a bit too far. Recently I saw what looked like an American flag that seemed a smidge "off". Didn't look faded or torn but in that particular light something wasn't right.

So what do you think?  Should we pitch the penny?  Not pinch it....cause most of us are doing that already.  I mean should we stop making pennies in America?  Should we do it to save some money on production?  Should we do it because counters, cup holders in cars and piggy banks get stuffed with them?  I got to think about this after seeing a story at http://www.foxnews.com from Reuters about how

Passing judgment is easy, withholding judgment is harder, but better.

Fifty bucks for you next to the Speaker?

Artist uses the power of his artwork to speak his mind.

Remember when you were a kid and you couldn't wait until the last school bell of the day rang so you go home and play?  I remember being crazy until that final bell because recess was not long enough for all of the cool stuff I wanted to do...

But is Siri really that talented?

The Pacific Princess is reportedly being sold for scrap.

I want to start out this little written diatribe by saying that I am far from perfect......at anything, especially driving, but I do work hard to obey traffic signals and signs.  What I can't figure out is where some of the people in our community, or those visiting our community, get their driver's licenses from.  Do they send off for them after getting three proofs of purchase from their favorit

Car buffs may have something to smile about as two old nameplates may be making a comeback.  Studebaker is a name that you have seen if you happen on a classic car show and now, a man in Colorado is planning on bringing it back to the present day...

As we march along in this contest, we are seeing Rick Santorum doing things that are a little questionable.  From things like the Robocalls encouraging Democrats to support him to now claiming that Mitt Romney's Michigan victory was really a draw, you are seeing a candidate crack under pressure...

What happened with the latest Ben and Jerry's ice cream?

How many vacations does Michelle Obama take while so many have to worry about their next paycheck? Is the President fiddlng while Rome burns? What's with the party with B.B. King and Mick Jagger? Singing a couple of bars of an Al Green song a few weeks back was "cute" but who paid for this "Red, White and Blues" shindig at the White House?

We have been hearing about the story again and again of Erin Fitzgerald being punched on Mardi Gras over a float in the Independent Parade.  Glenn Stewart now faces charges over a moment that will only be looked on with regret years down the road...

Rep. Henry Burns of Haughton says he wants to further discourage driving without minimum insurance coverage. Burns wants vehicles “booted” instead of towed to keep cost down for the offender. I personally don’t care what the cost is for the offender. The law says you can’t drive without insurance. Get them off the road!

First let me say I thought Whitney Houston had one of the most incredible voices heard on this planet. It just seems to me that mainstream media can’t find anything else to feature. As expected Whitney’s music sales have skyrocketed since her demise and I certainly understand but the press coverage is ludicrous and now New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is having flags flown at half-mast.
