Well, those hopes are pretty much dashed now.  Yes, it is true that Trayvon Martin had injuries.  But the extent of his injuries beyond the gun shot wound that ended his life were bloody knuckles consistent with the reality that he appears to have been the aggressor in the incident.

This is turning into the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case all over again; right narrative but wrong facts.

The really sad thing is that even with the adjusted scoring just half of students show proficiency on the FCAT writing exam!

The lower passing score is expected to increase the number of students passing the exam to 48 percent for fourth grade, 52 percent for eighth grade and 60 percent for 10th grade, still well below last year’s results.

Wow!  All this panic and work and that is still the best they can do?

But the newly released medical report shows that supposedly sweet and innocent Trayvon game Zimmerman a broken nose, two black eyes, two lacerations to his head and a back injury before Zimmerman shot the teen. Well, that’s pretty much par for the course with these two bozos. They sure do know how to pick ‘em.

There is a new poll that shows Governor Walker is leading his Democrat opponent, the far left Tom Barrett 52% to 43%.  Barrett is the mayor of Milwaukee and had done a superb job keeping liberalism going and driving that city further down the hole it was already in.  Walker defeated Barrett in 2010 so this will be a rematch as the left continues to try to get their do over.

If Walker holds his lead and wins the election one can only wonder if they will try and recall him again and waste the taxpayers monies yet again or if they will finally accept that they lost.

Don’t worry. Although the book is sure to be a flop, she will no doubt make a pretty penny once the President orders the US State Department to purchase thousands of copies and send to libraries in third world countries or for the President to give away as Christmas gifts.

Further proof that if you let liberals keep taking more and more bites at the apple, they will keep taking more and more bites no matter how rotten the apple may be.  Sure, it might be brown and moldy and smell bad, but by God it is their apple!  And thus the failure of socialism will be ensured to continue for quite some time until they all die from self-induced food poisoning.

Gary Johnson is more of a true libertarian than self-proclaimed libertarian Ron Paul could ever hope to be.  He is not a pure, constitutional libertarian, but as far as things go, he is perhaps as close as you can get in a politician.  He is also the only remaining candidate I have rated at B- or better in this year’s Presidential Election race.

Johnson still is not as serious about national defense as he needs to be but he is nowhere near the radical isolationist that Ron Paul is and he has a good track record on most issues.  Although Mr. Johnson does have some failings, such as his obvious support for the oxymoron of “gay marriage”, lamenting how gays in many states “will continue to be denied true marriage equality”, he at least understands that it is not the role of the federal government to get involved saying it is an issue for the states themselves.  He is also pro-choice (ie pro-abortion) until fetal viability outside the womb which is a problem because it shows that he does not quite have the respect for human life that a true libertarian should.  However, fiscally, he is far above and beyond anyone else in the current field.

We will see how things pan out.  The Libertarian Party is on the ballot in all 50 States.  I certainly do not expect him to win the general election.  I fully expect the vast, vast, vast majority of libertarians and conservatives to hold their nose and vote for Mitt Romney and then be promptly disappointed when, if he wins, he rolls back much of Obama’s new socialism but leaves us with the high level of socialism that existed before January 20th, 2009.

Please note: I have not endorsed Gary Johnson for Presdient at this time.

The Democratic governor said the shortfall grew from $9.2 billion in January in  part because tax collections have not come in as high as expected and the  economy isn’t growing as fast as hoped for. The deficit has also risen because  lawsuits and federal requirements have blocked billions of dollars in state cuts.

Hey, welcome to the world you helped to create!

And of course the Governor’s solution to all this includes … wait for it … wait for it … high taxes!  Oh, of course it does!  It always does!
