Since we have been in the mode over the past year of ‘solving’ all the ills we face such as these yawning budget deficits, health care and capping the BP Oil Volcano in the Gulf, I figured: “Why not take a swing at the bat at figuring out what to do with the illegal immigrant […]
One of the most mind-jarring images of the current disaster in the Gulf, besides the thousands of dead wildlife in the water so far, has been the sight of lawyers and environmental activists getting out of their monster Escalades or Yukon SUVs in Louisiana to ‘investigate the damage caused by that awful oil company, BP […]
We have been wondering when and how American politics got to the point where it seems as if hardly anything can get done anymore. On a truly bi-partisan basis, at least. We think we crossed the River of Rubicon when President George H.W. Bush, 41, uttered these (in)famous words at the 1988 Republican convention: “Read […]
At a rather amazing and informative recent meeting of the Charlotte Economics Club, a mild-mannered senior Republican Congressman was asked the following question by a self-admitted hard-nosed, go-strictly-by the-numbers accountant from a major accounting firm: “These numbers about the deficits and debt going forward are so astounding.

With all the hubbub about the recently-passed health care reform (sic?) bill, we thought we would step back and take a look at this thing through the eyes of Professor Alfred E.Newman, he of irreverent MAD Magazine fame, who is apparently leading the “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!’ political party in the 21st century. “What is […]
You might as well go ahead and click on this great song by The Tams, “I’ve Been Hurt” to listen to as background while you read the rest of this article, and especially shout out the words, ‘Baby you cheated, mistreated, you cheated, cheated on me. And you told me, you told me… You told […]
Why are the Democrats trying to make kamikaze pilots look sane by comparison? Because they know that when they pass this health care reform (sic?) bill into law, it will never be repealed. Ever. Let’s think about this for a moment. Why are the Democrat leaders in Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader […]
Amidst all the hubbub about Senator Jim Bunning holding up the unemployment extension bill last week was one ‘inconvenient truth’ the news media always failed to point out when they were throwing beanballs to his head just like, well…just like the All-Star Phillies pitcher, Jim Bunning did to any opposing batter who was crowding ‘his’ […]
