Barack Obama is about to sign a $787 Billion stimulus package. Thats $787,000,000,000. You notice how you never see this number in the mainstream media? Hmmm. Anyway $787 billion. Much more antiseptic and easier to manage that way, right?

Kittens for Amendments 47, 49, and 54 - UPDATED: A Puppy Too!

October 31st, 2008 · 8 Comments

Out-of-state Big Labor-funded front organization Protect Colorado’s Future Culture of Corruption has really gone overboard with its latest mailing. Check out the scans of their “Godzilla vs. A Fire Station” ad over at Peoples Press Collective if you haven’t already received a copy of this thing yourself.
