Random Thoughts - Seventeen

The gun haters love to hold England up as an example of a country that banned firearms. Maybe they should check their facts first. I just read where London had 149,654 violent crimes in 2012. Twice the per capita rate of Boston. And, at that, Boston has strict gun laws.

Does any rational person believe that those two idiots in Boston did that all alone? There was at least a handler to organize them and a bomb maker. You don't just read a magazine article and make a bomb like those. They probably had some financial support too.

Slowly but surely the Benghazi cover up is falling apart. This could possibly destroy the Obama administration forever. Beside this Watergate was nothing. I just wish the press would stop being part of the cover up and do what they are supposed to do. Just report facts. Honestly. Now it seems that the government is threatening the careers of those that would testify. Obama claimed at his news conference that he knows nothing. He did not wear his Sargent Schultz uniform at the time. 

Note to Republicans: Do not back down on sequester. For once you are winning an issue.

Has anyone ever heard this phrase from the Hippocratic Oath, "First do no harm."? Apparently Dr. Gosnell has not. How can he stand himself? For me, he defines evil.

Congratulations to Virgin Group on their successful rocket test. It is amazing what private money can and will do if government stands out of their way.

Don't forget Mother's Day coming up. Rubies and roses are always nice.

How about those Red Sox. Amazing what one year and a change of manager will do. Just stay healthy guys. I'm getting old and I want to see one more World Series.

Point of pride. My blog has been read in 67 countries. I'm hoping for 70 this year. I'll let you know if I make it.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis is planning to change the way the GDP is calculated. Traditionally they have added the cost of research and development only when it is successful. Now they intend to use all R&D costs. Even failures. This is just wrong. They are breaking tradition only to give their boss, Barack Obama, a bump in the growth figures. In other words, his ego is more important than honestly reporting the state of the economy to the American people. 

Note to Ron Paul: Give your son a break. He's got a shot. You don't. So why don't you have a few years of silence so he can take that shot.

Can anyone explain to me how the administration can get a lawyer for a terrorist in two days but can't protect Benghazi whistleblowers, as required by law, in two weeks?
