Maslow vs. the Headlines
Anyone who’s watched television in the last decade has noticed the advent of the “ticker”. The ticker is the small scrolling bar that pans right to left, giving you the most time to read the summarized tidbits of news, sports scores or stock prices. The desire to know as much about as many things as possible is a fairly new advent for [...]
Monkeying Around With the Site
As I'm sure you've discovered by now, we are making some changes to the site. We'll be up all weekend, but each time you load the site it might look different. Please bear with us, I think you'll be happy with the new look.
Keynesian Economics: Bad economics, worse policy.
Keynesian Economics is the worst thing to have ever been invented and implemented. The Fed is to blame for every bubble and every bust. Manipulating interest rates feeds this cycle; keeping them artificially low for long periods of time floods the system with "cheap money," which leads to over inflated asset bubbles, which invariably burst. [...]
The SoTU
The Union is afraid, and deeply uncertain about its future, but you wouldn’t know that from listening to President Obama last night. No, our “union is strong,” and the great and building anger of the body politic is nothing but the mewling of spoiled children. And like all parents of misbehaving children, Obama seems disgusted that he [...]
Best Week Ever?
Well, maybe for politically minded conservatives. Scott Brown wins in Mass., killing ObamaCare, the Supreme Court strikes a blow for the 1st Amendment by ruling against free speech restrictions on corporations, the Copenhagen Accord is collapsing under the weight of its own stupidity, and Air America finally breathes its last. I’m sorry, [...]
Broadband Intervention
This piece was written and submitted to me from one of our regular readers. It highlights some concerns in how government intervention has effected this particular industry. Thank you "Common Sense" for your contribution. Enjoy! “Change.” A plurality of American voters asked for it last Fall, and that is exactly what we are [...]
Down the Line; The Democrats and Shifting Blame
As we all know by now, Scott Brown has won the special election in Massachusetts (just so we all know, I spelled that right without the need of spell check). Depending on who you trust in the media, this was a referendum on President Obama, a rally of the Tea Party movement, independents being fed up with the left, or the people of the state [...]
The Critisism of U.S. Aid to Haiti
As America reaches out to help earthquake devastated Haiti, it drives me crazy that we find ourselves being critisized by certain other coutries that our aid is ingenuine. Americans have used text messaging (texting Haiti to 90999 donates $10 to the American Red Cross Disaster Releif) to raise more than $21 million. The Red Cross reports [...]
Brown vs. Coakley
For what it's worth, I'm calling Brown by 4 points. Others, less optimistic, have called ACORN by 5. And given the integrity of our opponents here, that is a distinct possibility.
Mark Steyn: Uberpundit
This is why Mark Steyn continues to be one of the best columnists around: If you were at the Hopeychange inaugural ball on Jan. 20, 2009, when Barney Frank dived into the mosh pit, and you chanced to be underneath when he landed, and you’ve spent the last year in a coma until suddenly coming to in time for the poll showing some unexotically [...]
What Exactly is a “Negro Dialect?”
Senate majority leader Harry Reid has inadvertently stepped into the cesspool of misunderstanding and bad faith that is the state of race relations in America. In what he thought was an off the record interview, Senator Reid said that Obama could be elected President because he was “light skinned” and didn’t speak with a “negro [...]
