Dallas Tea Party Calls Out Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann is a TV show host on MSNBC. I'm not sure for how much longer, as the ratings for that channel are lower than the sub-basement in the old brewery my Uncle Louie used to own off Ludlow Avenue in Cincinnati, OH.

President Obama's Health Care Summit
President Obama, in my opinion, continues to posture that he wants to go down in history as the President who created national health care. He's going to go down in history alright, but in flames.

Go back and read several of my old posts here at the Fire Pit, and you know where I stand on this climate change issue. It's primarily Mother Nature doing her thing. Want real proof?

Obama Scorecard
As I'm typing this, I'm watching Glenn Beck on FoxNews. His opening segment was about unkept promises by President Obama. Yes, politicians break promises. They say things to get elected. But the string of broken pledges was very disturbing.
