During the campaign, Barack Obama promised us, "When there's a bill that ends up on my desk as President, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what's in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government's doing."  The healthcare bill was passed on Sunday March 21st.  Barack Obama signed the bill in to law Tuesday March 23rd.  That's two days, Mr. President, not five. 

Scott Sowers and I were interviewed for a Journal and Courier article about The Purdue Review and Conservatism on campus.  We are very excited about this exposure to the Greater Lafayette community. Click here to read the article.

If you bring up the Google search engine and type in 'Purdue Science Department', you will see that in the description column under the URL there is an ad for Viagra.  I'm not sure how the ad became the description for the Science Department link, but I found it very interesting.  I assume the Science Department will get this fixed as soon as they can.

Many on the Left will tell you that they want 'women and minorities' in office. Do not be fooled. What they actually mean is that they want 'LIBERAL women and minorities in office. Take the 2008 Presidential Election for example. Many feminists and others rallied behind Hillary Clinton in the primaries and supported her wholly (or at least in part) because she is a woman. These people had a strong desire to put a woman in the White House. Hillary Clinton was eventually defeated in the primaries. Shortly thereafter, John McCain chose Sarah Palin (a woman) as his running mate and the Left threw a hissy fit.

Now wait a minute! I thought these people said they wanted a woman in the White House. "Nope nope nope! Not her! Not Palin!" What was that about voting for Hillary because she is a woman? What was that about wanting a woman in the White House? "NOPE NOPE NOPE! Not her! Not Palin! This is totally different!" There was a woman competing in the General Election. Did these people vote for her? The answer is no. The answer is they smeared her and watched with glee as she lost. Yet these same people complain because there has never been a woman in the White House. Do not be fooled. Feminists and the like are not interested in putting a 'woman' in the White House. They are interested in putting a 'LIBERAL woman' in the White House. Read More »

In arguably the most pivotal game on the schedule thus far, #6 Purdue topped #10 Michigan State 76-64 at East Lansing Tuesday night.  With just seconds remaining in the first half, Robbie Hummel drained a very long 3-pointer to give Purdue a 47-33 lead at the intermission.  In the second half, the Boilermakers stretched the lead to 18 points, but saw their advantage shrink to just 3.  In the closing minutes of the game, there was a sense of fear, because Robbie Hummel and Chris Kramer had each picked up 4 fouls.  However, with scoring help from E'Twaun Moore, the Boilers were able to scratch and claw their way back to a 12 point lead that proved to be too much for the Spartans.  Moore led the team with 27 points.  JaJuan Johnson contributed 7 rebounds which also proved to be a big factor in the outcome of the game.  With this very critical conference win, Purdue ties Ohio State at 8-3 in Big Ten play.  Michigan State and Illinois are on top of the Big TEn, each with a 9-3 conference record.  Next up for the Boilers is a home game against Iowa on February 13^th.
