Do you really want to elect Obama?

Ok, So gasoline is at $4 a gallon, and what’s Barry’s solution? LOWER SUPPLY! You’d think that presidential candidates would understand the most simplistic and basic law of economics, the law of supply and demand. Barry wants to tax the oil companies (big surprise coming from a lib, eh?), and that somehow will cause the supply to rise, and/or price to fall. Gee, maybe if there was some previous history to taxing the oil companies when supply is tight to compare too… Oh, wait there IS previous history. Back in the 70’s the Carter administration taxed the oil companies and what happened? Domestic production fell. Just what we need when production is so tight right? If Barry really wants to do the right thing, they perhaps he could let the oil companies drill for oil here in the US and offshore, where millions upon millions of domestic oil sit idle while prices skyrocket. Or maybe encourage coal gasification and liquefaction, or let the oil companies build more refineries, or allow nuclear power plants to be built, or all of the above. The real solutions to our problems are right there, but no one in government seems to want a solution. Instead, they drag the oil companies on TV and scold them for being a bad boy, and threaten socialistic dictatorship by threatening to federalize the oil business. What a solution, the government controlling oil (more than they already do)? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the oil companies are also at fault, but if someone in government would just grow the balls and push for the RIGHT solution, we could get some relief from the madness that’s taking over our country.

Does Judge Burge Want a TV Show?

I think he must… Why else would anyone make such a stupid ruling about lethal injection. Apparently, Judge Burge learned more about physiology in law school than he did about the law. It’s obvious that Judge Burge is not a proponent of capital punishment. Ask him, and he’ll refuse to answer, but who needs to ask him? It’s obvious, when he’s acting more like a defense lawyer than a judge when it comes to the capital case that’s before his court. So, now, he wants to legislate from the bench. Never mind what the lawmakers do, never mind what the people of the state of Ohio want, Judge Burge doesn’t support capital punishment, and he’s apparently going to do what he can to change the law on his own. How is it that a man who openly admires a communist revolutionary like Che Guevara wind up on the bench anyways? It makes me wonder why someone would give a shit about weather a convicted criminal, sentenced to death, would feel any pain anyways. Personally, I loose no sleep over it. What about the pain the person(s) murdered by the defendant went though? What about the pain of the friends and relatives who have to carry on without their loved one? Do you ever wonder about that Jimmy? Why can’t judges do what judges are supposed to do… interpret the law, not legislate it from the bench, as Judge Burge is obviously trying to do. One of the biggest problems in this country is radical judges like Burge who try to force their viewpoints on the public by performing and end run around the proper ways of making laws… by vote, or by legislation. People are already calling for a recall of Judge Burge, and I personally am beginning to agree. Judges who abuse their power to further an agenda rather than do the job of interpreting the law are dangerous, and are not performing the job that they were elected to do. Interpreting the law is the implied function of a judge. Judge Burge is not interpreting the law, he’s trying to modify it, which constitutes a lie to the people who elected him. Maybe Judge Burge is trying to make waves so he can get a tv show. Perhaps he should break down and cry like Judge Larry Seidlin. Personally, I’m all for Judge Burge getting a tv show where he can hang pictures of Che Guevara behind him. At least he’ll be less dangerous because he won’t be able to legislate from the bench.
