Forbes Magazine just ran a rather awesome, if not damning, article. I loved it. It listed the states where there are more “takers” vs “makers”. And, it very quickly condemned those states, as well as advising anyone investing to steer clear of those states. One of them, being my own. They chide those states for [...]

Time has lost their ever-loving rocker. Sandra Fluke for person of the year? Public OpinionPoll Results Effectively she got her claim to fame because she took a rather mundane stance that all birth control should be covered by the new federal health insurance guidelines whether a person ethically or religiously believed it should be.

Much is being made of Vanderbilt Catholic’s decision to not sign Vanderbilt University’s new Non-Discrimination policy. Basically, it states: Registered student organizations must be open to all students as members and must permit all members in good standing to seek leadership posts.

In the heat of a budget stand-off, President Obama had this bi-partisan spirited comment to smooth the hurt feelings and bruised egos: That’s right, the Republicans are going to take away your social security after August 3 if Obama doesn’t get what he wants. Scaring the beejeebers out of the elderly, we’ve not seen that [...]

Recently was sent this link: That’s my image, here’s Townhall’s link. Since I was a young boy, I hated NPR. They’ve had a lifelong history of dumbing down content. If they were reporting a war, you heard incessant gun fire in the background. The noises alone drove me away. It just struck me that they [...]

I’ve decided rather than bitching and moaning about Obamacare passing or not, which inevitably it won’t, and if it does, won’t do squat to fix anything, I’m gonna take the high road and fix it all myself. If anyone listens, the simplicity will amaze you. First of all, a lot of problems have festered since [...]

I read Seeking Alpha’s “Bigwigs Debate Too Big to Fail“. It discusses the opinion of several key financial players of the US economy regarding whether institutions can be “too big to fail”, and if so, what to do about them. Very excellent read. The players fall into two categories: Bust ‘em up: Alan Greenspan Simon [...]

Scott Ott makes another one of his brilliant observations regarding the beating death of Derrion Albert: 37 Chicago public school students killed last year. The latest, Derrion Albert, a college-bound honors student, beaten to death with a wooden board. Government operates the housing, government runs the school. Who’s accountable? I’ll go out on a limb [...]

The concept of a “public option” in this current health care debate is not novel. It’s not new. It’s just taking what has been practiced in social service and medical care provision for decades and applying it to the insurance industry. That’s all. It’s also well-known that I oppose this. Here’s a reason why I [...]

Prostitution used to be illegal in most of the country. Now it’s “performance art”. Child prostitution used to be a crime, now it’s a deduction. Social activism at its best! We must not let one bad ACORN ruin it for all the others though. My problem is figuring which ACORN is the worst. This one, [...]
