How To Lose

November 3, 2010

There are a few truisms in politics. It is obvious that the Democrats have yet to learn them. It appears necessary to take them back for a review of PoliSci 101. Any nationwide election is multifaceted. This one was especially so. That means both the mistakes and correctives are many. I can cover them all but most […]

Business Unusual

October 27, 2010

Here I offer you yet another one of my pet peeves. I seem to have a very full treasure trove of them but this ranks high on the list. Government should be run as a business, so they say. One of the problems is that they are so ignorant of government, and possibly of business […]

Big Is Big

September 8, 2010

ome people are reticent to fully accept the need for big government. That is understandable. Americans have been force-fed a diet of propaganda for small government for generations. That message was ramped up in the Goldwater campaign. Other than retaining a presence in our psyche, it just hibernated there until the advent of St. Ronny. […]

Less Is Less

September 1, 2010

Perhaps you’ve heard people complain of the government being too big. It isn’t just that they think smaller government works better. Most express a hatred for the government – their government. They are fortunate not to get their wishes granted. Here is the word of the day for them. dystopia (noun) A vision of a […]

What Hath BP Wrought?

May 24, 2010

They call it an accident. Either my dictionary is seriously out of date, or they have redefined the word. Despite the attempts to control the flow of information, more keeps leaking out. My apologies for the puns but, in such a dire situation, humor eases the anxiety somewhat. Dire? Yes. First, the leakage was only […]

Capitol-ism

May 18, 2010

No. I didn’t forget how to spell capitalism. It’s just that all economies outside of Somalia involve the government. They do so in a variety of ways, with a variety of outcomes. Jon Stewart recently had a guest on the Daily Show. I like Jon but he was taken in by a shill for Wall […]

All Over The Map

May 7, 2010

This section of the globe could be to show that we are a long way from the population center of the Earth. Or, it could be showing those places that don’t care who wins the Stanley Cup (oops, I left out Nashville) or the NBA Championship, or whether Senator Nelson is looking out for Warren […]

Good Taxes

March 29, 2010

Yeah, I know. There isn’t such a thing as a good tax. Well, maybe there is. Let’s think about it for a moment. As illustrated by the graphic, Wall Street got a huge tax break. Actually, they got a lot of our tax money. That in addition to several reams of tax breaks, subsidies and […]

Silly Suit

March 23, 2010

Thirteen states have filed a lawsuit claiming that the healthcare bill is unconstitutional. Will they win or are they just wasting taxpayers money in an attempt to look good to their political bases? If you guessed the later, you didn’t require anyone to read this to you. Given that we have five Supremes who can’t […]

Supreme Stupidity

January 25, 2010

Despite what some may think, I was not around for the Dred Scott decision. That aside, I had comforted myself that the Supremes could not make a worse ruling than the one that gave us Bush the lesser. I was wrong, horribly so. We are now the only developed country in the world that allows […]
