- Our gas prices have gone up 20 cents in the last 2 days (not sure about this morning yet). Looks like it may be time to pull out the Magic Snow Globe.
- The Oscars are this weekend. I haven’t seen a movie in a theater since 2007 or 2008 (it was Horton Hears a Who).
- A grandmother and step mother in Alabama have been charged in the death of a 9 year old girl. She ate a candy bar and lied about it; they made her run non-stop for 3 hours and she died. What is the matter with people?
- There are a lot of children in our country living in emotionally and physically abusive situations every day … it breaks my heart.
- The National Science Foundation is funding nearly $1 million to Virginia Tech to study the effect of stress on parenting skills … in birds.
- The IRS is spending $15 million on a PR campaign to improve their image with taxpayers. They are currently seeking a “full service communications and marketing company”.
- For more about how the federal government is spending our money, visit the website of Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn.
- Did you know on March 11th most of us will “Spring Forward” and return to Daylight Savings Time?
Hang on. It’s Friday.

I love these little bullet points on life.
The IRS PR campaign is a bit over the top isn’t it? I would be just fine to be rid of the IRS all together. We somehow survived as a country without it for at least 100 years.

Hi Frances – I’m glad you enjoy these little snippets. First get rid of the IRS and then the Dept of Education.
Hypocritical coming from someone with a government funded job.
You know David, you seem like such a negative person. Is there anything positive you can say about anything or anyone?
Yes, I have a government funded job. I work very hard and am making a huge difference in my community – especially in economic viability. Perhaps you would prefer I was on welfare and food stamps?
What are you doing to make your community stronger and economically sound?
You’re supporting someone who wants to pretty much absolve the government… that’s what I find hypocritical.
You’re just lucky that Ron Paul isn’t a viable candidate so he won’t get elected and cut the funding for your job.
I’m a small business owner and employing people in my community. Not sucking off the government’s teat.
I have answered this before. I’m not one of the people saying “we need cuts, but not my job” … I know full well that Ron Paul would eliminate my position, and I’m fine with that. I would love to have a job that wasn’t based in government, but that’s all I could find to take care of my family.
As I said before, even though I am government funded, I work very hard and the government is getting a good return for its money. Too bad you can’t applaud my work ethic. I’m not on welfare.
