May Day: A day to piss off socialists and liberals

By Mike Thayer

While May Day is rooted in the traditions of welcoming spring, socialists and labor unions have latched on to this day as a way to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago.  On that day an unknown person threw a bomb at police trying to disperse an unruly crowd participating in a general strike.  

Make a socialist/communist/union thug/liberal cry today by buying something from a capitalist...... ME!

Coralville Courier creates special category for Von Maur-Gate stories

By Mike Thayer

This is a big deal folks, it seems that city administrator Kelly Hayworth and the Coralville city council are out of control, they apparently don't care for resident input on the Von Maur deal or anything pertaining to the Iowa River Landing for that matter.  How can I say that?  The city filed a countersuit against area business leaders and property owners who simply exercised their right to file a greviance with their government.  The city of Coralville, wants area business leaders and residents to sit down and shut up.

The Von Maur stories are worth their own cateogory: Von Maur-Gate.

Not only can you go direct and get all the Von Maur-Gate stories in one convenient place, you can get the timeline feel of what's taken place so far as well.

Amelia Earhart mystery: Hillary Clinton announces U.S. support of new search

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on Tuesday the State Department's support of a new search to solve the mystery of aviator Amelia Earhart, whose plane went missing over the the South Pacific nearly 75 years ago.

At an event in Washington to celebrate Earhart's legacy, Clinton and U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood met with a group of scientists from  the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, which is launching a new search for the wreckage of Earhart's plane in June. Earhart and Fred Noonan disappeared on July 2, 1937, during a flight from New Guinea to Howland Island in the South Pacific. Their plane never arrived.
