More postal politics

By quinersdiner | May 8, 2012

The Post Office is losing money. The Senate is proposing a $34 Billion bailout at taxpayer expense. Before you blame the Post Office for this situation, be aware that they have attempted to cut employees and close offices with light volume to be fiscally responsible. The Senate said no. Congress made things worse back in 2006 with another bill they passed that the general public doesn’t know much about …

Timing is everything

This is the 50th anniversary of Johnny Carson taking over the reigns of the Tonight Show from Jack Paar. At his peak, his audience was double that of Jay Leno and David Letterman combined. Carson had a gift of making even bad material funny. His timing was perfect …

Michelle Obama’s secret fantasy

By quinersdiner | May 4, 2012

It’s Friday, and Jodi Miller is back! The crackerjack reporter from NewsBusted enjoyed a much-deserved vacation last week. As you will quickly discover, the news never stops, and Jodi is back with a fresh take on the news the Mainstream Media chooses to ignore. Jodi always does it with a smile and the gentle wit that even our liberal friends admit is awfully sweet. Wait til you hear her scoop on Michelle Obama’s secret fantasy. Whew! That’s all I’m sayin’ …

Wisconsin thrives after beating back Union bullies

By quinersdiner | May 4, 2012

Liberals had wrestled Wisconsin taxpayers to the mat. The state faced a $3.6 Billion (with a capital “B”) deficit. They just couldn’t afford the extravagant wages and benefits enjoyed by a select group of their citizenry: unionized public employees. These union members enjoyed wages and perks that far exceeded what their counterparts in the private sector enjoyed. And yet, it was the struggling private sector that was footing the bill for the union’s prodigious bounty. What to do? …

If Planned Parenthood succeeds, telemed abortions will begin spreading throughout America. The Iowa Senate, controlled by Democrats, rejected the nominee with a shameless smear campaign grounded in deceit and disinformation. Undeterred, Governor Terry Branstad has put forth the name of another faithful Catholic to serve on the Board of Medicine: Monsignor Frank Bognanno …
