I read a great story today about a young man who bought a house but apparently did not know that he had to pay for it. The gentleman said that in 2006, at the height of the housing bubble, he bought a house for $380,000. Two years later the value on his house had dropped [...]
Most people believe you can hear the ocean roar if you place a conch shell to your ear. I’ve always thought the sound was more like a steady and annoying wind, the kind that blows endlessly in no particular direction. When you think about it in that light, Louis Farrakhan is quite like a conch [...]
Has so-called national security become Kryptonite for the Tea Party? Seems to be the case, judging by the roll call vote for CISPA – the Cybersecurity Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, which despite its inherent toxicity to individual privacy and liberty breezed through the House with significant help from members of the Tea Party Caucus.

May 1, International Workers Day, has been designated by the left for the “first General Strike in American History:” A Day Without the 99%. No Work—No School—No Housework–No Shopping. Take the streets! But … the call for the General Strike did not getting traction from us — the 99%. We whose interests it purports to [...]
May Day, the international socialist holiday, usually sees a collection of union thugs deployed to carry on about imaginary slights around the world, while here in the United States it is normally just another quiet day.

A friend of mine said today she considers her speeding tickets to be a “freedom tax” – the price she must pay to choose the speed she will drive on the open highway. It reminded me that I have been blessed with an overabundance of very cool friends. Naturally, our group chimed in and improved [...]
There was a huge hullabaloo on Saturday at the Massachusetts Republican Party caucus events. You’ll surely remember that Mitt Romney won the Massachusetts Republican primary a few weeks back. He won it in a pretty major way, too, racking up 70-plus percent of the primary votes. Well that was the beauty contest part and this [...]
“Don’t confuse me with the facts. I’ve got a closed mind.” These words were famously uttered by Rep. Earl Landgrebe (R-IN), a Nixon partisan to the bitter end, at the Watergate hearings. They are all that remain of that legislator’s political legacy. And yet, they reveal a truth. Michael Kinsley defines a gaffe as when [...]
