Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd or stick of dynamite by the safe end. - unknown

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police

how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

If You Can't Print It...Mint It

In yet another sterling example of how out of touch this government is with reality comes this. Minting $1 "gold" coins.

While the "chief" executive of the U.S. is embarking on yet another much needed vacation - after all driving this country out of business takes a lot of work - folks gathered in Fremont, OH to joyously celebrate the handing out of 500 shiny new Rutherford B. Hayes "gold" coins. And, as we all know by now, America loves a hand out.

As minting new coins costs millions of dollars, minting new coins that NOBODY wants and then paying to store these coins certainly seems like a fiscally responsible thing to do in the current economic climate.

Although this program was signed into law into 2005, the continuation seems like nothing but Congressional folly at this point. In fact, Sharky&Sharky would like to know what was the point to begin with? The various commemorative coin programs includes the Girl Scouts as well - but they only got a silver coin from President Owebama - but they got 350,000 of them. Sharky&Sharky wonder what they would have received if a Girl Scout had been president?

Watch Out For These Girl? Scouts

Oh, by the way, the "gold" coins contain: 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel. NO gold. Of course, the U.S. can't afford gold anymore.
