Has anyone spotted Woodward and/or Bernstein? How about Deep Throat? What about all the President’s men? I ask because the stench of a major league cover-up fills the air. The Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, was declared to be in contempt yesterday by a Congressional committee. The AG has refused to turn […]
In a repeat performance from last year, funding for Charlotte’s massively expensive expansion of light-rail lunacy is back on track after having been temporarily derailed by fiscal sanity in the N.C.

Even after a bipartisan effort from local politicians tweaked the rules to make booze readily available for Team BO’s big party, more Democrats are finding the DNC too toxic a pill to swallow and making plans to be anywhere but center stage in Bankster Town USA.

Our presidential candidates squared off in Ohio last week, each merrily indicting the policies of the other. Both speeches lacked one crucial plank in their platforms. Good jobs require good money. The absence of good monetary policy is submerging the whole world in a second decade of “Dark Ages” stagnation … and misery. Romney’s choice […]
In an unusual turn of events, the Charlotte City Council rejected the plans of City Manager Curt Walton and decided to do its job, which is to be the board of directors to city staff, not compliant followers. Credit is due to Mr. Walton as he has only been following the footsteps of the corporate […]
First it was New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg who decided that he was really everybody’s mommy. A few weeks back Momma Mike took steps to outlaw the sale of large sodas in New York. No more super sizing for you. As the fizz was still settling on the big gulp grab, Ma Bloomie’s Board […]
Many thanks to all the activists who made phone calls, sent emails, and protested the City Manager’s proposed budget and 8.2% property tax increase!
