Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.

In wake of the Boston bombing, I expected a whole lot of knee-jerk reactions. First major meltdown apparently is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to [...]
Within one day after President Obama was sworn in for his second term, Harry Reid was putting in motion the vote to eliminate most filibusters. Here is the list of the Senators that think this is such a good idea they chose to co-sponsor it: Sen Baldwin, Tammy [WI] – 1/22/2013 Sen Begich, Mark [AK] [...]
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 [...]
Upon retiring the last of the Shuttles, they will be sent to various locations as museum pieces. They are expected to be big draws. Last year Obama allocated $14 for one to be located in Dayton, Ohio. The money and the shuttle were intended to offset the loss of jobs in Ohio caused by mothballing [...]
I’m not allowed to put her entire thesis here, but some parts I can. And: Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also [...]
Barack Obama, when campaigning, promised he’d try international terrorists in civilian courts. Holding up to that promise, he decided it should be downtown New York City. You know, that place with something like 10,000,000 people living within the federal courthouse. To be blunt, that’s just stupid. It was the fact a terrorist was going to [...]
Tom Coburn and John McCain are having a blast with the stimulus monies. They’ve noticed a few, shall we say, wasteful projects they think don’t do the US much good. The one that caught my eye was tostudy young adults who drink malt liquor, smoke marijuana, AND live in Buffalo, New York. I got two [...]
I know everyone thinks I’m going to say last night was a referendum and Obama’s toast. But, I’m not going to just toss that out there. This is what I do think. A lot of people talked about NY-23 like it meant something. The entire race was fubar for all concerned. You had a Democrat [...]
Given the almost daily headlines and scandals involving ACORN, some members of Congress have decided that maybe ACORN’s not the best route to take involving some community projects. It seems like a no-brainer to me. You’ve accusations of voter fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, forging federal applications, shaking down banks to make risky loans, and [...]
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, [...]
