 Holder Testifies on “Fast and Furious” 

     On Thursday, February 2, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding his role in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' gun running operation known as “Fast and Furious.” 

     During the hearing, Holder continued to deny any foreknowledge of the botched operation. Representative Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House committee, led the charge in questioning Holder on his involvement and knowledge. When Issa asked Holder ...

Scott:

     Wait a minute!  Better names for the Geauga County Commissioners would be "Stooges, Barnum and Bailey" candidates maybe, but weren't the Musketeers brave?   Fighters?   Heroes? 

     Just a thought. 

     Goodnight....

Johnny:   Hmmm...  Yes, you might be right there...  Wrong choice of words on my part...   I shall now refer to them as the "Barnum Three".

Is Tomorrow A Critical Day For the Administration?    For the Nation?

Tomorrow, the eighty-second Attorney General of the United States of America, Eric Himpton Holder, Jr., will be asked to raise his right hand and swear that the information he will be offering to the House Oversight Committee is "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth". 

     What happens beyond that point will likely be a turning point in the story of Operation Fast and Furious, Mr. Holder's career, the Obama administration, and, quite possibly, the United States of America. 

     Should ...

     Let's have a little discussion here on just what constitues reckless tax/spend liberal tendancies and sound fiscal behavior when money is "tight".  For an example, let's have a look at a recent list of "projects" and expenditures that the three Geauga County Commissioners (AKA "The Three Musketeers") recently pondered and you will see just the "color" of these elected officials and WHY we as voters are so unhappy with them (remember that on March 6 you have a chance to send one of the back to the private sector and should do so!):

Letter to the Editor: 

     A neighbor said that Ralph Spidalieri, candidate for Geauga County Commissioner does not "stand a prayer of a chance" of defeating career politician Mary Samide in the upcoming March 6, 2012 election. He said, "Ralph is too honest." Can one be too honest? 

     Mr. Spidalieri is a hard working and caring person, not a politician. Ralph is the All-American guy, small business owner, taxpayer, pro-life and dedicated to God and family. It doesn't look good for him... 

     Mary Samide, never having been challenged like ...

     Regarding the student parking.   I'm sure the Principal/Assistant Principal/Teachers have their own parking spots, do they have to pay for that?

Thanks,

Joe:  No, they don't have to pay, but YOU DO FOR THEM!  

Scott, 

     What the hell is wrong with the Berkshire Schools?  Kids have to pay a nickel for a plastic spoon? Haven't I read that the schools have a huge carryover every year?   And high school students are paying to park for what reason?   It's not like they're paving the parking lot every year and it's not like they have to pay a parking attendant.

     And don't even get me started on pay to play for sports and other activities...although I can almost understand that in this day and age, the extracurricular activities are second to education, versus what it was ...
