He’s dead.  Enough said. Except for this.  Osama Bin Laden lived in a well stocked “compound” (that’s military for “mansion”) for the last five years of his life, sipping on Coke and Pepsi, whiling away his time on what I am sure was state of the art computer equipment. While he sent men, women, and [...]

Call Paul Ryan’s budget the Path To Prosperity, The Roadmap for America’s Future, or whatever you want to.  Just don’t call it a plan that accomplishes anything, because it doesn’t, so far. Studying his Roadmap, and his Path as I have, I am now armed with the facts I need to make an educated statement about his [...]

“There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.” Henry Ford On January 5, 1914, Henry Ford introduced a minimum wage of $5 per day and Profit Sharing at his factories.  In all, some $10,000,000 in profit was [...]

In the fall of 2008, and then again in early 2009 (TARP), Wall Street received a bailout.  Our elected officials lied to us.  They told us if we bailed these banks and insurance companies out, our economy would not collapse.  But that’s not where the lies started.  Our economy collapsed anyway, true, but more importantly, [...]

A recent Rasmussen poll is becoming an eye-opener for Republicans, regarding the battle in Wisconsin and a few other states over the right of public employees to collectively bargain.  It would seem that younger voters especially come down on the side of the unions, as 63% of voters 18-39 years of age oppose weakening those [...]

The mess in Madison has accomplished its goal; at least as far as the two political parties are concerned. Once again, we have Americans fighting with Americans over a side-show.  Not to belittle the grievances of the unions in Wisconsin, but their battle simply is not the major battle that needs to be fought in [...]

On Wednesday, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin received a phone call from a man he believed to be David Koch, multi-billionaire energy monopolist.  The caller wasn’t Koch, but an imposter.   The left side of America went berserk upon listening to soundbites of the phone call, believing they had listened to the devil admit he was [...]

The Middle East is ablaze with revolution.  So far, the only blood shed has been by the forces of the status quo.  From Egypt and Tunisia to Libya and Iran, the masses have organized, and left the political parties behind.  And the masses are winning.  It’s about time. The poor media and our politicians don’t [...]

Wow! What a week in local and National politics.  In Wisconsin, we have the ongoing Liberal rage over Governor Scott Walker’s decision to remove organized bargaining power on Public Employees for everything except wages in an effort to rein in our out-of-control budget.  Nationally, there is talk of shutting the government down, and of course [...]

“Was anybody else offended by…can you put your hand on your heart?” Beck said. “It’s the national anthem!” “I was really offended by the sports players that were just hanging on their jersey,” Beck said. “The country that gives them the ability to…pursue their happiness in peace and safety is not worth putting your hand [...]

America is inundated with both praise and scorn for the SOTU last night, as well as for the Republican response given by Paul Ryan.  But what really was said? About what you’d expect from political parties, that’s what.  President Obama talked about what we ought to do, and used broad strokes with very little detail [...]

“Death Panels” “Political Rhetoric caused the Great Arizona Town Hall Massacre.” “Job-killing Health Care Bill” “Global Warming scare” Seen or heard any of these phrases or ones like them used in the last year?  Maybe a better question would be “how many times have you heard these phrases in the last year”?  We have gun [...]
