Stories from the last handful of days leave me so dumbfounded that I can only come to the conclusion that I must have woken up in Wonderland, or on another planet, or in an alternate universe. Something has to explain the lunacy of these news stories; it can’t be that we’re just this dumb as [...]

It is such a good thing that there is video footage of this, because without it, no one would believe a public official, in this case a Milwaukee County Supervisor, could possibly be this ignorant. Watch the video as Peggy West speaks in support of the City of Milwaukee boycotting Arizona. Her reasoning? Since Arizona [...]

Things like this… and this… What are these violent protests about? The Greek government is bankrupt, and the European Union and the International Monetary Fund are going to bail them out to the tune of $968 billion (your welcome). As a stipulation to that bailout, those organizations are demanding that the Greek government cut its [...]

Update: A week after Freddie announces their loss of $8 billion sister Fannie Mae comes out with a 1st quarter loss of more than $13 billion! These two companies that Barney Frank swore were financially sound have burned through another $21 billion of your money in  just 3 months folks! Its operations having lost another [...]

Having passed the wildly unpopular health care bill through all methods of chicanery, the Democratic leadership in Congress now wants to legalize 12-15 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. and force (more on that in a minute) the island of Puerto Rico with its population of 4 million to become the 51st state.

Today being tax day, it seems a good time to remind ourselves of some key figures. Most Americans give at least a cursory look at their household budget monthly as they pay their bills or perhaps weekly if they’re in the tough position of living paycheck-to-paycheck. But, few stop to review their country’s financial state [...]

Today the Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. will likely face a doctor shortage in coming years. Now who could have ever predicted that this would happen? Oh, that’s right, I DID! And frankly, I believe this article vastly underestimates the problem. The heaviest users of medical services are not those with their own [...]

Oh the irony! In the same week that Democrats cram through their Health Care takeover legislation, yet another government entity admits it is losing money hand-over-fist and has no idea how to stem the tide of red ink. Postmaster General John Potter admitted to the Senate committee responsible for oversight of the Post Office that [...]

The federal debt limit is going up faster than my credit limit with Visa during the economic boom of the last decade. The difference being, just because Visa kept upping my limit, didn’t mean I was stupid enough to spend it! But Washington is. Yesterday Senate Democrats voted yet again to raise the federal debt [...]

As it snows today in Houston Texas (the earliest snow storm in the cities entire recorded weather history) and we go on day 14 of a near total television news blackout of the climate-gate story, I am left to wonder if perhaps the conspiracy theorists were right all along. Is the global warming science a [...]
