Cambridge Bears Basketball, Alpharetta, GA

Hearty congratulations to the entire basketball team, coaches and fans in last nights historic inaugural region victory!   Great hustle, teamwork and shooting.

They defeated a great Sprayberry HS team as well.   Hats off to the speed and shot blocking of the Sprayberry boys.

The officiating was absolutely horrorific.   Those three goons officiating that game should be bounced out of their jobs.  The laughter and horseplay they exhibited DURING the game was enough to  have their whistles removed for good.

It was the ugliest officiating I have ever witnessed.  And Cambridge won despite of them.

After witnessing the fighting of undeclared never ending wars, passage of freedom destroying legislation like the Patriot Act & NDAA, approval of pork barrel spending to the tune of hundreds of billions, rule by Executive Order, using ZIRP to extract hundreds of billions from senior citizen savers and give it to criminal Wall Street banks, forcing the American people at gunpoint to replenish the Wall Street banks with $700 billion after they had committed the greatest financial fraud in history, and a continuing trampling of the U.S. Constitution, the American people continue to remain willfully ignorant of the truth.  So, I need a diversion from the madness.

I will watch the Falcons on Sunday and enjoy as much junk food as the next guy.

Here's hoping the Falcons and the Patriots get it done.

Billions in Hurricane Aid for PORK........

The $60 billion appropriated for Hurricane Sandy "victims" just happens to be the annual benefit from the Obama tax hikes on the rich. And just like that, the entire first year's budget benefit was spent in under 2 weeks. We are well beyond tax increases making a difference, but that won't stop Obama and the Democrats from playing their class warfare socialist meme. Obama has absolutely no desire to reduce spending, in fact he's trying to expand Govt spending as fast as possible. The system is just running on pure debt until it doesn't. By the time the pork is taken off the top and the major players paid, the $50 billion won't even scratch recovery efforts!

Greg Ball of New York

Wow.  A politician with some brains and chutzpah.

Congratulations Mr. Ball.  I wish there were more of you to go around.

As another former Air Force officer in politics, you are beast!!    This wind bag running your state as governor is a POS.

Obama and Lance share some common ground

Watch this series of clips in which Lance Armstrong repeatedly denies taking performance-enhancing drugs.

Lance is the best, LIESTRONG

Reminds me of Bill Clinton not having sex with that girl.

Call it straight, call it B.S............

While on one hand the relentlessly rising total Federal student debt crossed $956 billion as of September 30, and was growing at a pace that will have put it over $1 trillion by the end of 2012, the one data point confirming the size, severity and ultimately bursting of this latest debt bubble was the disclosure in late November by the Fed that the percentage of 90+ day delinquent loans soared from under 9% to 11%  in one quarter. The "higher" educational system, which now includes such vaunted institutions of learning as study-in-your-pajamas.com and Everest University, is a huge racket that uses taxpayer guaranteed "student loans" (good luck getting water from the rocks that are debt-enslaved students, whether pre or post-bankruptcy), is a massive scam designed around job security and wage security for literally tens of thousands of "professors" (tenured or otherwise) and "deans."

In many respects, the higher education system mirrors the for-profit prison system in the U.S., where the average cost of a year of attendance at either institution is rising towards parity, and the U.S. taxpayer is ultimately on the hook for the costs of incarcerating or "educating" either the prisoner or student.

The prison and "college" subsidization needs to end. It's total, unmitigated bullshit.

Taxpayers should not be shelling out $40,000 per year to house prisoners who were sentenced to 3 years because some 19 year old had a dime bag of pot, and they certainly shouldn't be shelling out $50k to 200k so students can obtain a fine arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania or a vacuum tube repairman certificate from ITT Technical Institute.

I realize that taking many of the non-violent pot smokers out of prison and rejecting 50k taxpayer loans to students of educationconnection.com will adversely impact the for-profit Prison & Education scams (where wardens & deans get compensated based on headcount), but the shit has got to stop. Subsidization of banks, Wall Street, the defense contractors, the prison racketeering operation and the education scammers is out of control.

My question is: Why do the bankers insist you get an appraisal of the value of your home before you get a loan, but no one is appraising the value of these college degrees?

The moochers, leeches and parasites are in control. It's a dam joke from where I sit.

And my taxes are being wasted on it all

I, I, I.    I give him a year on the flagship WSB and it will be "back when I WAS on air".

All talk, not enough grist.  Grist takes work.

It won't happen for the long haul.  Too much, I, I, I.

More can-kicking until we can't......

The debt owed by the US Government is over $16 TRILLION.

Putting that in context folks, if you were to put $100 bills in a pile and that pile of C-notes weighed 360,000,000 pounds, that friends would be $16 TRILLION. 

And these stooges in D.C. want to increase the debt. 

This quote pretty much sums up not only the present and future of US budget cuts, but everything else about the US:
