The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.

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 [...]
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 [...]
The Senate passed the finance reform package. They’re sending it to Congress. It’ll pass. It’s 2,300 pages. It’s 390,000 words. When I asked a finance person what the impact would be on my personal bank, and my investments, he said “very little, if any”. Obama’s advice was a little more direct: “Unless your business model [...]
Steny Hoyer has decided Congress doesn’t need to pass a budget this year. It’s just too darned complicated to pass a budget when there’s all that darned debt. Rather than being faced with the possibility of increasing the debt even more, or making painful budget cuts during an election year, Hoyer is punting until later [...]
Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]
Here’s the story: The AFL-CIO labor union has a new tax in mind. Specifically, the union wants to apply a small tax — a tenth of 1 percent — on every stock transaction. The tax would especially target firms that use so-called high-frequency trading, which uses technology to oversee many transactions in the blink of [...]
A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]
Quick question, how many people think the cash for clunkers program fixed the auto industry’s problems? A $300 million cash-for-clunkers-type federal program to boost sales of energy-efficient home appliances provides a glimmer of hope for beleaguered makers of washing machines and dishwashers, but it’s probably not enough to lift companies such as Whirlpool (WHR) and [...]
Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) , Benjamin Cardin (D-Md.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Jim Webb (D-Va.), all joined forces to secure $2,000,000 for the oyster recovery program in the Chesapeake Boy. I’m assuming the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science has something to do with this. From their page: When Captain John Smith first arrived in the Chesapeake [...]
When Bill Clinton was in charge of things, he gave his wife the dubious task of reforming health care in the United States. When it was all said and done, lots of rural hospitals had closed, 75% of all home health agencies quit, 75% of all national health insurance providers got out of health insurance, [...]
