On the eve of the Armageddon, (Sequestration, for the rest of you) the President continues to run around the country and spread a misleading and wholly untruthful message by land, air, and You Tube. . .and I got to thinking about the billions we spend in any given year on complete and utter frivolities. Downright…
Well boys and girls, we’re at it again. We’re at yet another “white-knuckle” fiscal deadline not unlike the fiscal cliff crisis a few weeks ago; the debt ceiling crisis; the debt ceiling crisis AGAIN, and so it goes. “Sequestration,” as the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it, means “to place (property) in custody especially in sequestration” This word,…
What do gas, vacations, war, and golf have to do with one another? Meet some contenders for the selective journalism award I’ve just created. I’ve decided to call it “The Cricket,” in honor of the sound we so often associate with dead air. . . you know, “cricket. . . cricket. . . cricket. .…

“Our country’s like a car broken down at the side of the road. You open up the hood and see that all the hoses and wires have been slashed. You don’t know why; you don’t know how. . . all you know is they are inoperable. So, you simply change drivers, hoping that this will…
Today the president was sworn in publicly, after which he gave yet another partisan speech in true Barack Obama form. While we know him to be one of the most partisan presidents of our history, he is still the President of the United States, and thus serves as every American’s president. Sadly, today, he demonstrated…
Yesterday the President Obama announced and publicly signed 23 executive actions in response to the violence at Sandy Hook, as well as called for Congress to restore a ban on military-style assault weapons and to implement 10-round limit for magazines.
