Reforming
Bureaucracy
Say Goodbye to the GS System
Federal employees outside of the military and law enforcement
have a reputation as being lazy unmotivated bureaucrats. In all
fairness, most federal employees are hard working and dedicated but
to be honest, the General Schedule (GS) system is also a great place
for slackers to hide out, collect a paycheck, and never get fired.

Parents Who Do Too Much
Helicopter parents are people who are way too involved in the
academic development of their offspring. They pick their children's
colleges as well as their majors. They even
hound professors about test scores and tag along to job fairs
to hand out resumes (which they also wrote), etc.

Mayor Forced Out of Office
Anyone who aspires to run for public office in the future
should seriously consider the actions that they are taking today.
Former mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist of Arlington Oregon found out
the hard way when her constituents would rather discuss her bra and panties
instead of local community issues.

Poor Minorities
A Collective Moral Responsibility?
According to civil rights activists, such as Jesse Jackson,
the primary reason why poor minorities use bad judgment and make the
awful decisions that ruin their lives, like drug abuse, dropping out
of high school, having children out of wedlock, and going to prison,
etc., is because it is the government’s fault.

Firing Teachers
States Need New Tenure Reforms
One glaring crisis in our public school system is the
inability to fire incompetent teachers. Most educators are
hardworking and dedicated but it is the few bad apples that are a
total embarrassment to our education system. It is time for states
to cut through the red tape and make it easier to get rid of them.

Nude Carwash
Drought Drives Aussies to Extremes
When a harsh drought struck Queensland on the east coast of
Australia, severe water restrictions prohibited residents in the
state capital of Brisbane from washing their own cars. “Bubbles 'n
Babes” got around this ban by using recycled water while employing
topless and nude women to wash cars.

Messiah Obama
His Traveling Salvation Show
Women moan and pass out when he speaks while the press has
been in this ridiculous love affair over him for the past couple of
years. I have to
conclude that it isn’t just me; the Obama campaign really is taking
on all the aspects of a religious revival.
I find this, quite frankly, both amazing and quite scary.

Wal-Mart’s
Fault?
Do Taxpayers Subsidize Wal-Mart
I love it when Liberals look at a problem and then determine
that the “only” one way solve it is by higher taxes and more
government coercion. Why can't more politicians care about actually
making health insurance more affordable to everyone instead of
trying to solve the wrong problem.

Schools Finally Doing Better Checks
After years of pressure, especially from the scandals that
garnered national attention, many states are finally getting serious
about performing thorough background checks on all faculty, staff,

they are finding has been an eye opening experience.

Doctors
Gone Wild
Hospitals Reinforce Dress Codes
Instead of traditional the white lab

skirts, plunging necklines that reveals bulging cleavage, and midriffs
exposing pierced belly buttons. However, this cultural shift is
negatively impacting patients relationships so hospitals and clinics are beefing up dress codes.

An
Innocent Man?
Or A Lowlife Degenerate
Texas and several other states have a Law of Parties statute
which makes a third-party culpable for murder even if he or she
wasn’t part of the actual killing. Hug-a-thug activists despise such
laws and they desperately try to find creative ways to make a
dangerous hoodlum look like an innocent man.

Oversized

The War On Mortgage Deductions
Environmentalists despise the mortgage deduction that
homeowners can take on their federal income taxes because they feel
that it encourages people to buy bigger houses. I happen to enjoy
the concept of being able to keep “more” of my own money in my
pocket instead of giving it to Washington DC.

No Arrests
Too Many Fugitives Walking Free
Most criminal warrants are for petty crimes like unpaid
traffic tickets but an alarming number of them are also for far more
serious crimes like drug dealing, armed robbery, and even murder.
But to add insult to injury, most fugitives merrily go on with their
lives with little to no concern of ever being arrested.

Space
Do We Care Any Longer?
The United is slowing giving up on manned space travel. Why

when machines can do it cheaper and safer?

Information Warfare
Truth as the Ultimate Weapon
Have you ever considered how much of everything we do each day

underlies almost everything we take for granted. All around us each

Bonuses
Are Incentives a Good Idea?
A hardworking diligent teacher should be recognized for their

educators with a bonus. And cold hard cash is perhaps one of the
best ways to encourage the better teachers to remain in their
profession. But are these financial incentives a good idea?

Big Business and Illegal Aliens
Nearly all the companies that utilize very cheap labor
adamantly insist that they do not
employ any illegal aliens. That assertion is true but
also very misleading because it is their subcontractors
who hire the illegal aliens. As a result, many large corporations
can wash their hands from any wrongdoing.
