Chicken Mess: More Neo-Liberal Nonsense

Aug 4th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

Okay, laugh, but much information can be culled from contemplating chicken manure, even if nobody much consults chicken entrails any more. This spring we wanted chicken manure spread on the pastures because it is incredibly rich in nutrients, the best "natural" fertilizer known to man, and quite inexpensive, comparatively speaking. So ...read more

Republicans Should Accede to Sonia Sotomayor

Jul 14th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

The Republicans should accede to Sonia Sotomayor. Think about that. And a lady of my beliefs and character saying anything that appalling! The woman has no qualifications to be on anything more elevated than a park bench. She has no judgement, no legal skills, single vision, and has made her way upwards ...read more

Tobacco Legislation Is a Sneaky Big Government Play

Jul 13th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

Before you sigh, "Not another anti-anti-smoking article," this issue represents the state vs. the people in microcosm. It appears to be the perfect way for Big Brother to seize authority to change the behavior of others. The underdogs are outnumbered 3 to 1. Perhaps 99.9% think the behavior is deleterious. ...read more

The Death of Ed Freeman

Jul 6th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

We're always in a patriotic mood here in the bar, and I have been asked to pass on an account of how Ed Freeman earned his Medal of Honor, our nation's highest award for valor. Most MOH are awarded posthumously, but Ed lived another forty-four years after earning his, and ...read more

Jul 1st, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

Texas U. S. Representative John Carter has galloped in to rescue us from the Cap & Tax bill, HR 2454, by proposing limitations on price increases that would repeal the bill automatically if the program raised diesel or gas prices by more than ten cents a gallon or our home ...read more

Silver the Best Buy Among Depression Bargains

Jun 30th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Gold, Personal Liberties

It is a matter of almost holy writ with us here in the Whiskey Bar that "the poor man's gold" is something we should be buying with every spare non-silver dime we have. We believe! We believe! We believe on fundamentals, technicals, and common sense. We even believe all this in the ...read more

Dude, Where’s My Buggy Whip?

Jun 29th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

Gary seemed down, today, so I'm going to share that I got a dandy nasty gram from a charmless young liberal thug who implied that all the evil in this nation is due to you spoiled Baby Boomers (Don't blame me! I am a war model and my darling Charles ...read more

401(k) as Dangerous as the Dollar

Jun 26th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

Prophets are famous for being without honor in their own country, and it isn't any fun being Cassandra. We're considered alarmist nuts until what we have foreseen comes to pass--and repulsive thereafter if we say "I told you so!" Well, we told you so about a lot of things, including the ...read more

What Should the Car of the Future Be?

Jun 19th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

More and more life under Big Brother's vengeful eye is joyless, drab, dreary, and filled with guilt. It is time to rebel--at least automotively. Instead of straining for the unrealistic and unsafe at enormous prices, why don't we just drive the great automotive achievements of the past? Instead of spending a ...read more

Leave Our Cars Alone

Jun 18th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey

THAT does it. This time the government has gone too far. If there is one thing Americans will fight to the last ditch over it is our beloved automobiles. Most of us won't use mass transit, we won't carpool, we won't walk, and we won't ride bicycles. The new ukase that DC ...read more
