A Long But Worthwhile Read
Neal Boortz is a syndicated radio talk show host from Atlanta…a Libertarian…and generally well-spoken and very entertaining. And sometimes I totally disagree with him. But the man is smart.
He’s written an essay called “To The Undecided Voter”. It’s long, and it will take an investment of your time, but I found it well worth the […]
Tax Comparison

The Government STILL Doesn’t Get It
I don’t recall any time since I became of voting age that I’ve been so disgusted with the people in Washington that supposedly work for us.
All this double talk about Wall Street and Main Street and corporate greed…and they just don’t have the cojones to actually fix things.
Instead, they come up with this supposed “bailout” […]
Fair And Balanced

Needless to say, there’s […]

ABC News: “If you had it to do over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?”
Barack Obama: “No, because keep in mind that question, you wouldn’t … but keep in mind that kind of hypothetical is very difficult to know hindsight is 20-20 … later … but I think […]
Excuse Me, I Have Gas
I’ve seen a lot of Tweets* today about gas prices. We’ll probably see a lot more, especially after today when crude shot up ten bucks to an all-time high of $138.54 a barrel.
So, a few observations about our current situation (props to George Will):
In 1995, a bill to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife […]
Watercooler Wednesday - Politics
Speaking of culture…you just can’t get away from politics right now, can you?
I’ve stayed away from the topic in this blog so far. But I might have a thing or two to say eventually.
I will say this. I’ve voted Republican. I’ve voted Democrat. I’ve voted Independent. I think I may have voted Libertarian once, it […]
