At first I thought the IRS scandal was leaked to distract from the Benghazi scandal.

Published on March 30, 2013 By Bob Lindamood

We are currently mired in a frantic debate about the rights of gun owners. One example should suffice to prove that the debate has become hysterical: Second Amendment supporters, one prominent but less than articulate member of Congress alleges, have become “enablers of mass murder.” Special animus has been directed against so-called assault rifles.

Is 20% the New 50%?

Published on February 22, 2013 By Bob Lindamood

As long as there are pumping restrictions, it won’t matter how much water is in the system because we can’t move it out of the Delta. In 2011 there was a lot of water, but we could still only get a 70% allocation. Westlands Water District officials have warned their farmers to expect to get… Read more »
