Tax Rebate Deadline Looms

The deadline to apply for the 2011 Property Tax/Rent Rebate program is Dec. 31, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

•

$0 to $8,000, maximum $650 rebate (homeowners and renters).

•

$8,001 to $15,000, maximum $500 rebate (homeowners and renters).

•

$15,001 to $18,000, maximum $300 rebate (homeowners only).

Disconcerting Datum Of The Day

Libyan rebels last year captured a possible 15,000 man-portable air defense missiles from Muammar Gaddafi’s arsenal.

The Obama administration can’t figure out what happened to them.
They apparently had tasked the late Ambassador Chris Stevens to get a handle on things.
It sure is a shame that guy in California made that nasty Mohammed youtube thing.

Education Tidbits

Global spending on education is $3.9 trillion, a third of which is done by the United States.

The USA ranks just 25th out of the 34 OECD nations in math; 17th in science and 14th in reading.

McCain Will Beat Mitt After All

As the vote counting winds down it appears Mitt Romney will end with about 57.8 million votes compared the 59.9 million John McCain received in 2008.

The attempts by Romney’s opponents to portray him as an uncaring corporate raider appear to have worked.
This was not all Obama’s doing if you remember the GOP primary, but Romney’s hands are not clean in this either considering what he did to his opponents.
Republicans are going to have to learn not to eat their own.
