Editor’s Note – Based on this claim of responsibility, it is safe to say that Obama’s approach to the Middle East is now proven to be an abject failure?
That his ‘embrace’ of the Muslim experience did not bring a renewed attitude from the extremists toward the United States?
Or, will the media attempt to cover for [...]

Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.
Lost in the recent headlines was Al Gore’s appearance Monday in Denver at the annual meeting of the Council of Foundations, an association [...]

Did we not hear the same thing about ObamaCare, and, less than a month later, it was shoved down our throats? The only thing you can be sure of with Obama, Pelosi and Reid is that you can’t be sure of anything they tell you. Remember, always watch the other hand!
The Progressive Socialists, formerly known as [...]

Editor’s Note – The Fair Tax organization has been very effective in pushing the issue with conservative candidates. It will be interesting to see how it responds to the Democrat Party’s characterization of the ‘fair tax’ as a “radical new tax hike”.

Editors Note – More inane ramblings of a madman…although, we must acknowledge, if anyone is qualified to speak of mental health disorders, it would certainly be Alan Grayson. It’s truly unfortunate that he continues to insult the entire Republican field looking to challenge him, particularly so when you consider that most of these candidates, if [...]

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.
The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.
As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.
However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.
I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
