Cuenca News

Since my trip to Ecuador I have kept track of news from Cuenca.  Highlights:

  • A Wawa Grande has been spotted in Parque Nacional de Caja.  The name is a mix of Quichuan and Spanish.  Wawa is an onomatopoeia meaning baby and Grande is Spanish for big.  In other words – “Big Baby” – or bigfoot type creature.  A Wawa Grande has not been spotted in the Park in the last four years but was spotted by a group of English tourists and their guide.
  • A light rail system will be built in Cuenca running from the Airport down to the area around Mall del Rio.  The fare: $.25 (they use the U.S. dollar for their currency) unless, of course you are over 65 and then the fare will be $.12.
  • Construction of the first McDonald’s has begun.  The city already had Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King, Subway, and Papa John’s.

Transparency My Ass

It is now being being reported that the IRS is not the only federal agency that was targeting conservative groups.  The Conservative Enterprise Institute examined FOIA requests.  They found that when the organizations making the request were in the president’s camp such as “the Natural Resources Defense Council, EarthJustice, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, The Waterkeeper Alliance, Greenpeace, Southern Environmental Law Center and the Center for Biological Diversity” they not only got their requests granted but the fee was waived 92% of the time.  When a conservative group submitted a request many were simply denied.  Franklin Center or the Institute for Energy Research requests were all denied.  CEI requests were denied 93% of the time.  Judicial Watch and the National Center for Public Policy Research had their requests denied 50% of the time.

This is hardly the transparency that Obama promised during his campaign, is it?

Is this the yet another scandal?

Excuses

Recently we have seen Washington scandals including:

  • The Begahzi cover up
  • The partisan treatment of conservative groups by the IRS
  • The DOJ seizing AP’s phone records

President Obama has been trying to distance himself from any responsibility.  He kind of reminds me of this scene…

Kind of scary to think that the IRS with it’s partisan treatment of groups that disagree with Obama’s big government policies will be the same group that administers Obamacare.

Kermit Gosnell GUILTY

I recently posted a video about Kermit Gosnell – the abortion doctor who on several occasions had several babies survive abortion only to have Dr. Gosnell snip their spinal cords with a pair of scissors.

I am happy to report that Dr. Gosnell has been found guilty of first degree murder plus other charges.

The Trees on Main Hill

Does anyone know why all of the trees on the east side of Main hill have been cut down? It sure does take away from the charm of that section of town. Downright ugly in fact.
