OK, probably not the most romantic headline to jumpstart Valentine’s Day, but it is what it is. In this case, it’s the ostensible GOP Not-Mitt of the Moment, Rick Santorum, holding forth that while it’s a rightful abomination for the Obama administration to force religious-affiliated groups to provide employees with insurance coverage for birth control, […]
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has recently issued a statement opposing on moral grounds the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that all health insurance plans include birth control benefits. This statement reasons that the Government should not mandate actions that will that violate an individual’s conscience or religious freedom. In response to the Catholic […]
Economic statistics can be very confusing, but they can also tell us a lot about the country we live in if they are presented in digestible chunks. Here is our America according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics: 312 million people live here 154 million of us want to work 141 million of us do […]
It’s been 1,000-plus days since the Democrat-controlled Senate last passed a budget, which it’s legally mandated to do … every year. It’s been, um, nearly three – and still no budget.

Air Force One sparkled beneath the brilliant Arizona sun as President Obama and Governor Jan Brewer met one fine day on the tarmac. Then, for no reason, Brewer spat on Obama’s foot. Oh, she didn’t? Then she asked him for a shoeshine. No? Did her dog mark Air Force One’s tires? Wrong again? So what […]
Unpossible. I mean, I haven’t launched a month-long, scientific study using covert cameras to spy on people’s driving habits, but a weekly trip to the local ‘Teeter is sufficient to prove that men are better at parking than women. Especially women trying to drive their super-sized SUVs. Flat-out scary, or comical, depending on how close […]
A Democrat business associate recently asked me: ” what’s wrong with Obama?” I responded that what’s chiefly wrong is the fact that his vision of a top-down planned society will destroy the individual liberty that’s the foundation of all of our freedoms. Although Obama’s public comments are carefully managed to disguise the full extent of […]
It’s become an almost boilerplate response to the issue of illegal immigration, from both sides of the political aisle, to emphasize that the problem isn’t immigration; it’s illegal immigration.
