Number of government owned limos soar under Obama regime. Up 73% and climbing. I seem to recall that Nixon took eight people with him when he first went to China. Now such trips require a cast of thousands. How come?

 W.H.O. : cellphones cause cancer. According to the WHO, everything causes cancer, so I’m not too worried about this latest scare report (have you ever wondered why, if everything we eat, breath and wear is so dangerous, average life expectancy keeps increasing?) … Continue reading →
