The Company The Romney Campaign Keeps
I keep looking for compelling reasons to vote for Mitt Romney, instead of against Barack Obama. This isn’t helping: Michele Davis, a former top aide to Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, has told colleagues that she will join the Romney campaign to lead a vigorous effort to defend his career in the private sector, a source […]
It’s Never Fair To Take Your Money
“There is nothing wrong with a strategy to avoid the payment of taxes. The Internal Revenue Code doesn’t prevent that.” – Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist In “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Sally asks Charlie Brown to write a letter to Santa Claus for her. She dictates, “I have been extra good this year, so I […]
When Pigs Fly
Leave it to the federal government to turn a cliché on its absolute head. This from CNSNews: Pot-bellied pigs must be granted passage on airplanes if they are used for “emotional support” by their owners, states the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) draft manual on equity for the disabled in air travel. The DOT published its […]
The Realities Of Illegal Voting
According to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law School and the author of this in-depth report by Mr. Justin Levitt called “The Truth About Voter Fraud,” there is nothing to worry about whatsoever with the American voting system.

I’m fairly certain this isn’t the appropriate way to use the bully pulpit of incumbency, but it has become par for the course for the Obama administration. This from the L.A. Times: The Justice Department is investigating whether Las Vegas Sands Corp., owned by high-profile Republican donor Sheldon Adelson, broke federal law by failing to […]
Conservatarian: The Hybrid That Wins Elections
Here is the difference: a political party is a label you wear on the outside, and a political philosophy is a label you wear on the inside. One is what you join, and one is who you are. Democrats suffer from some peculiar form of self-loathing which prevents them from describing themselves as “liberals,” even […]
House Note
I’m going to be off the grid for a few days traveling with the family, leaving PH co-conspirator Christian Hine at the helm with a full slate of House Guest columnists posting their wisdom, along with some stuff I have stacked in the pipeline. ~ Cheers.
DNC: Dissin’ North Carolina
Recall the glory days back when Charlotte landed the DNC and champagne corks were popping and it was high-fives and big smiles all round. Back when Gov Bev boasted of North Carolina that, “We’re not just the New South, we are the New America.” My how times have changed. Gov Bev is the ultimate lame […]
