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 […]
“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 […]
Leave it to the federal government to turn a cliché on its absolute head.

Cool: blazing through 100 meters in 9.63 seconds, the second-fastest time in history and a new Olympic record. Very Cool: stopping an interview to respect another country’s national anthem and honor another athlete’s accomplishments. Cheers, Usain Bolt.
