IARC Blogs and Press Releases

We issued a press release commending four IARC members who ran for office this fall and congratulated Neil Chatterjee, a member of our board of directors, for being offered a position with U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell.

If you haven’t checked our website out recently, then you may have missed these recent blogs:

We wrote a blog entitled “Come Clean Tiger” immediately after his car accident, sensing something was amiss in his original story; we wrote a second blog entitled “Our Prediction: Tiger Woods’ marriage is over,” detailing the public relations mistakes Tiger and his handlers made during this crisis.

We wrote a blog about the tragic death of a model, wife, and mother of twins, who died after undergoing cosmetic surgery.

We wrote a blog entitled “The tan tax: why Congress wants to tax you for trying to look like us,” about the Senate’s inclusion of a 10% tax on tanning salons in the health care reform bill. We express thanks for our golden hue, which ultimately allows us to escape yet another proposed liberal tax, one our Caucasian friends may unfortunately have to face if this silly tax is not stripped out of conference.

We wrote a blog entitled “Lamestream media spins Sarandon, Robbins split,” about this leftwing couple’s failed non-marriage and the media’s spinning of their breakup.

Happy New Year!

From all of us at the IARC, please have a safe and Happy New Year … we look forward to joining you in 2010 to promote limited government, free enterprise, and putting the concerns of we, the American taxpayers, first and foremost in the minds of our politicians.
