In the popular flick Marley & Me, the protagonist’s friend—a fellow journalist—is sent to Colombia for to write a piece on the drug trafficking, because he’s got a guy that can “put him next to Pablo Escobar.” Pablo Escobar, as you may know, was the infamously violent Colombian drug warlord that put his nation on the…
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,…
As I drove home from work this evening, my jaw dropped as I saw the gas prices jump nearly 20 cents from the last time I’d seen them, to a staggering $3.59 a gallon in my hometown. Where just 4 years ago the national average was just $1.87, our nation currently enjoys a national average…
It’s like banging my head up against a wall with these people. Truly- I cannot think of a better way to describe it. Of course I’m referring to the fiscal cliff debate, and the Democrat push to let the Bush Tax cuts expire for the wealthy. . . or for EVERYONE if they don’t get…
I’m not particularly a Twinkie fan. I don’t think I’ve had a Ho-Ho or a Ding-Dong in years. . . but I’d kind of like to have the choice, right? As much as my diet likes Hostess’ recent news, it’s not good news for this country. It’s one company- it’s 18,500 workers, which isn’t even…
Once upon a time, we lived in a nation where laws and freedoms did not vary with the currents of race, religion, gender, or political party. Just a few generations ago the likes of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks (among many others) fought to ensure that this was entirely so. In just a few…
In Monday night’s Fox News/WSJ debate, Fox News‘ Juan Williams “challenged Gingrich for his statements calling President Obama a ‘food stamp president’ and advocating that kids learn the work ethic by doing, for instance, janitorial work at schools. Gingrich has thrived throughout the debate season on combat with moderators and Williams was straying into his…
We must be very, very careful how we finish out this primary season. We must be careful that we are not simply stocking the war chest of attack-ad ideas of the Obama Campaign strategy brain trust. In other words, let’s not make David Axelrod’s job easier. The problem? Mitt Romney and Bain Capital. I’m gonna…
This just might be my shortest blog ever. But, the point needs to be made! The media was abuzz today with the news that unemployment has fallen to 8.5%. First of all, that’s worth celebrating? 8.5% unemployment in a nation of 300 some million people merits a ticker-tape parade? I think not. But that’s not…
