Why I Don't Read the Huffington Post

Why I don't read the Huffington Post, very often.  It's just a matter of trash vs treasure.  While watching FOX NEWS this morning they had a blurb on for about 10 seconds stating Senator Dick Durbin had introduced a new bill. This new bill would allow large corporations that sold gas to pass on a tax to the consumer. On it's face this sounds anti-consumer.  However, a little thought into the whole consumer/tax thing brings me to the conclusion, ALL TAXES ARE PASSED ONTO THE CONSUMER!

Folks, there are only so many $$$$ in circulation and they gotta  circulate. Basically this is an exercise in futility. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.  The consumer is King or Queen in my book.  It's just a darn shame we, Conservatives, don't use that power more often. Rush Limbaugh has approximately 20 million listeners, according to Rush.  Sean Hannity, has 13.5 listeners* admittedly many Rush listeners also but, for numbers sake.  Let's say 1/3 don't listen to Rush, or approximately 5 million.  That's a total of 25 million listeners.  Now, if 1/2 of the 25 million listeners write a letter to, let's say Wal-Mart.  The letter stating these consumers are just sick and tired of Wal-Marts poor quality  tomatoes** and are going to shop Meijers, Krogers, Food Lion, or what ever store is in your area, do you think Wal-Mart would upgrade the quality of tomatoes?  I'm not an expert but I do believe they would.  Gees, I wish we Conservatives would get on board with this type of power!  I guess we are too busy working, raising our children, and clinging to our guns and Bibles.  "Nuff said.

Back to the Huffington Post.  Anyway, I was looking for some solid evidence linking Senator Durbin to this alleged bill.  I did a Google Search and checked out about a dozen hits and found nothing. I even went to Senator Durbin's web page and found nothing.  So at this point in time I am putting the issue aside. 

While I was searching I decided to check the far left blog, The Huffington Post.  If any blog would have an article about Senator Durbin and taxes I figure it might.  I bet you were wondering when I was going to get to the Huffington Post.  Now keep in mind I go there about once a month or less.  Here are the reasons why:

Four of the current articles posted on the side bar of the Huffington Post as of 11:30AM, June 12, 2010:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/09/sarah-palin-breast-implan_n_606596.html
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-lanza/what-happens-when-you-die_b_596600.html
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/10/kayla-manson-13-year-old_n_607266.html
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dan-abramson/twitter-dies-at-age-4_b_606135.html

Allow me to give you a brief outline of the articles.
The first deals with the possibility of Governor Sarah Palin having breast implamts, Who really cares
The second deals with what happens when you die.  Sorry folks, your DEAD,  With luck you go to Heaven
The third is absolutely disgusting and deals with a 13 year old using a vile word used to describe a woman's sexual parts.  To make matters worse it was aired on The Today Show on NBC..  To compound matters  "We just have to be careful with our language, but that's all right, sweetheart,"  was all Meredith Vieira said after the girl made the comments.  That's all that was said!  Comments like that cost shock jock, Howard Stern, a million $$$ a pop!  If you want to read  the articles via The Huffington Post copy and past the web addresses.  I don't really want that trash and garbage linked to my blog.

I really am interested in seeing if the FCC  will intercede in this.

I have one other tidbit from the Huffington Post and then....who knows....maybe I'll visit it more often looking for my gym socks, the lid to my garbage can or whatever foul odor I smell.  You know you are to be feared (sarcasm) by the left when The Huffington Post  attacks you!  Check out this article on Senator John McCain. the last paragraph says it all.  The attack JD Hayworth for a ligament question.  By the way, I respect Senator McCain for his military service and thank God for men like him.  I do not respect him for his wishy-washy stand on everything up to and including our southern border security. JD Hayworth web site is here.

Have a great weekend and see ya in church!
