Our trusted news sources today are stuck on spin cycle

By Dan Barber

The Most Valuable Cities in America


From TRENDSFINDTHEHOME.COM -- I would have changed this headline from the most valuable to the most expensive places to live.

Retiree Budget-Buster: Big Price Hikes for Medicare Premiums in 2016


From KIPLINGER.COM -- So much for Obama's Affordable Care Act, reducing the cost of medical care. The only thing Obamacare did was give large healthcare insurance companies and investors a big pay raise.

Obama bumps into Bill Clinton on golf course


From THE HILL -- "Obama bumps into Bill Clinton on golf course" This sounds like the lead into a joke where two progressive liberals raising hell about rich people bump into each other while at vacationing Martha's Vineyard...

Ben Affleck's former nanny 'wants reality TV career'


From THE BANG SHOWBIZ -- I'm sure there are a bunch of agents in Hollywood who represents "no-talent clientele" for reality TV who are clamoring to sign one more moron to fill air time with nonsense.

States raising taxes, fees and debt to pay for road repairs


From THE ASSOCIATED PRESS -- Trying to pin high taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel on conservatives won't work. Liberal Progressives and Obama have been trying to destroy the fossil fuel industry in favor of renewable energy as part of their party platform. Three out of the four states with the highest tax rates on gasoline and diesel fuel are controlled by Democrats, California, Hawaii, and New York, Pennsylvania's state house has a Republican majority. Of those four states, California's per-gallon tax is a bit lower, but the Democratic-controlled state legislature and Governor Jerry Brown are working on legislation to reduce greenhouse effect pollution has on the planet's ozone layer by rationing fuel sold in the state... I suppose another way to reduce the amount of fuel sold in California is to make it unaffordable. Don’t even get me started on smoke and mirrors… I mean Cap and Trade legislation restrictions!

Rents are rising, but there are ways to stretch your dollar


From CNBC -- I'll bet that camping trailers will continue to gain popularity... see posts below.

How America learned to love the Airstream again


From BLOOMBERG -- I suppose living in a camping trailer is better than living on a sidewalk as a homeless person or more affordable for a part-time employee...is this article a spin on bad news, you betcha! Am I the only one who senses a media trend here?
