Media Speculates About Another Bush In The Presidency

Jeb Bush

In an election year where the GOP is looking to take back all the marbles, media speculation has begun to heat up over the question of whether or not to send yet another Bush into the U.S. Presidency. Many media outlets and pundits alike have been taking about how Jeb Bush could be the go-to guy in the 2012 election for the Republicans. An ABC quote from news writer Byron Wolf:

As I was clicking through my Google News page looking for something to talk about, I found this gem of a headline at Washingtonpost.com: "Democrats worry Rangel's ethics trial will hurt party in midterm elections". Well I would so considering his supposed non-payment of taxes and so forth. Here's an excerpt from the article:

10 Myths About The Bush Tax Cuts

I found this interesting research piece on Heritage.org. Don't worry, they don't all defend Bush to the last man. I thought that this piece did a good job explaining the reasoning behind the deficit Bush left behind, and the reasoning behind why most people think it was because of the tax cuts that there was a deficit. This piece doesn't defend Bush, but rather shows that it wasn't the tax cuts that left the $247 billion budget deficit, rather spending increases.

3 Reasons Independence Day Is Still A Great Movie

Welcome To Earth

 I've got a lot to say about why you should bother renting or buying this and making an evening of this movie. Or a morning if you're a fat lazy slob like I know I can be.

I'll just give you three simple reasons to glue yourself to the couch for this.

Movies. Coolest Invention Evar

Since I've been blogging, I've wanted to write about things where pure opinion matters. I don't have a ton of interests. However, movies happen to be one of my few "things". Ever since the inception(pun completely intended) of movies in the early twentieth century, they have captured the imagination of the world. Some of us take this interest to near obsession, like me. I'm so much of a junkie that I procure movies from many a source. I just can't wait for the movie I want when I want it. F.Y.E and Neflix are vendors I patronize pretty often. I recommend them, especially if you're trying to find something obscure. Best Buy has great prices sometimes for new releases. But sometimes I wish Circuit City didn't get run out of business. But I digress.

Shallow Water Drilling Permit Has Been Issued

I guess it's an oil rig.

This particular story caught my eye today. It seems that the Interior Dept. has issued a permit to drill for natural gas in a shallow water area. Here is an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal:

The Interior Department has approved a permit to drill a well in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the first such clearance since new safety regulations took effect following the BP PLC spill.

Russian Spies? Now It's Cuban Spies

It sounds like the FBI has been busy the last few year in counter-intelligence.

A former State Department analyst, a privileged great-grandson of Alexander Graham Bell who became a spy for Cuba, defended his decades of work for Fidel Castro before being sentenced Friday to life in prison.

Government Wants To Know How Fat You Are

It looks like the Feds are now going to force health care providers to not only monitor, but report on your body-mass index so that they can "encourcage" you to loose weight. They even put a deadline on receiving ratings from all citizens by 2014. I'm not going to rant to you about how intrusive, and illegal, this is.

Well, okay, yes I will.
