Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. [...]

Yeah! Tell me another one! Whew. OK. Let’s get serious. Obama, as usual, is attacking the concept of personal responsibility. The concept that people willingly and knowingly incurred a debt is meaningless to Obama. Completely. Under his watch, the student loan program has been removed from the private sector and made federal ( that’s called [...]

That is striking some as possibly the stupidest comment by what has become arguably the stupidest Congress in the history of the United States of America. After realizing his comment made him look quite stupid, he released this explanation: “I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their [...]

Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package. I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way. As such, I was interested in the numbers. However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at. In essence, [...]

Whoopi Goldberg replaced Rosie Odonnell on The View. Rosie being gone is a good thing because Rosie seemed to rely on rhetoric, stupidity, and generalizations as a basis for most of “the views”. However, Whoopi’s been known to drop some stupid bombs of her own in the past. Apparently not much has changed by replacing [...]
