Bugs Bunny and Chuck Hagel, I Was Wrong

Chuck Hagel is worse than Bugs Bunny at Secretary if Defense.  I posted that Hagel was at least as good as Buggs Bunny for Secretary of Defense (See Link).  Well, I was wrong!  Dropping the Army force levels to the point of pre-WWII is an insane, marijuana-fueled, Democratic daydream of the  current administration.

Obama:  We need fewer of these troops, don't you agree, Chuck.

Hagel:  yes sir, great idea.  We don't need no stinking Army, no sir.

Probably too late to flush him but maybe the Senators up for re-election this year like #flush Tom Udall.

Government Snooping, the NSA, and Tom Udall

It was recently announced that Google has purchased the Israeli company SlickLogin, a consumer password manager.  With the NSA (National Security Agency) hacked into every single internet and search provider, including Google, is anything still safe?  Add to this the fact that a virtually unknown government agency (Consumer Finance Protection Bureau) now sees fit to hack into everyone's credit card usage and you can see how unsafe all of this has become.  If Google hopes to use their new purchase, SlickLogin, how can they ensure that the NSA won't be sniffing and gathering that data? I doubt that they can.  This was a bad purchase by Google and a poor use of stockholder equity.

Gun Control Statistics and the 2014 Elections

This is an update of a post from early last year.  Some of the links in the earlier article were superseded by the FBI reporting system.  I have not found the new links in all cases so I highlighted the incorrect links and crossed out the reference.  The data is available from either the FBI UCR database or the FBI NICS database.

It is time to consider that one of our two senators, Tom Udall, is up for re-election in 2014.  Both senators voted for more restrictive gun legislation as proposed by Obama/Biden.   Ms. Lujan-Grisham who was fully invested in the Obama/Biden gun control proposals is also up for re-election in 2014. There are stronger gun advocates up for election in the Republican party who should replace them  Right now, only Allen Weh and David Clements have declared.  I am hoping that Richard Berry will declare but he has not done so so far. Berry has far greater name recognition and would be a more credible candidate to beat Udall.  So far no one has stepped up to challenge Lujan-Grisham.
