GOP Missed The HMS Beagle

February 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Economics, Politics

Do something. If it doesn’t work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
There are social conservatives. There are national security conservatives. There are fiscal conservatives. There are ideologues who call themselves conservative but are really either lemmings or traitors.

When Will They Ever Learn?

January 20th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Economics, Politics

Okay, boys and girls. The lesson for today is that, as former VP Dan Quayle reminded us, a head is a terrible thing to lose.

October 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Politics, Religion

Questions. Answers?

September 27th, 2008 · No Comments · Economics

There is some possibility that you have questions about the financial crisis. Questions were put to the candidates at the debate. Obama seemed on the cusp of an answer one time. McCain didn’t even try.

What’s Left?

September 8th, 2008 · No Comments · Politics

We are going around in circles. Why? Because too many people don’t know right from left. Both words are spat out by people as if they actually understand what these terms represent.
