OBAMA - THE ANTI-PRIVATE SECTOR PRESIDENT

I tweeted about this one over the weekend .. but it is worth posting here. Barack Obama himself lacks any real private sector experience. We already knew that one. In fact, if you read Obama's books you will find that he referred to his brief stint working in the private ...

CONGRESSIONAL SPENDING TRAVEL SPREE

Politicians in Washington seem to enjoy making a spectacle of private sector travel or private jets, etc. They like to make a mockery of corporate CEOs who travel in private jets or spend money on trips to Las Vegas. So I just wanted to turn the tables for a second ...

SHAME AND THE HOUSING CRISIS

The Obama administration is very busy lately .. trying to take over our healthcare, dithering over Afghanistan, spending your tax dollars at record rates and putting your children and grandchildren into debt so deep they'll barely be able to see daylight at high noon. Now we have something new to ...

FRIGHTENING .... JUST FRIGHTENING

As you may know, I'm now writing weekly column for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It appears in Saturday editions. A few weeks ago I wrote a column explaining that there is no "right" to health care in this country under our Constitution. You can read the column here. Why bring it ...

READING ASSIGNMENTS

How about a rousing musical interlude before you start working on the reading assignments. Did you hear about the couple that crashed Obama's first state dinner, embarrassing the White House and Secret Service?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS ONE

The Queen and I spent Monday night in the home of some friends in Something-or-other, Florida. Our hosts were justifiably proud of their new digs and delighted in showing us around. Super ... now, when you go to the drive-in teller at your bank do you ever put your deposit ...

CLIMATEGATE

By now I am sure that you are well-versed on this Climategate scandal. If not, let me sum it up real quickly: Someone hacked into a climate change research unit and discovered that the scientists had been manipulating and/or hiding data in order to support their fake global warming theory. ...

PAY AS YOU FIGHT

Barack Obama has apparently settled on a plan for Afghanistan, but he isn't going to tell us his plan until after Thanksgiving. All he can tell us is that we are going to "finish the job." Some officials believe that Obama will send somewhere in the ballpark of 34,000 additional ...

OBAMA BY NUMBERS

Barack Obama's approval ratings have been dropping, big time. Overall, Obama's ratings are down below 50%, according to Gallup polls. But there are still a few segments of society that are holding on to hope. The young. Obama's approval rating is below 50% for every age group except Americans between ...

"SO HELP ME GOD"

There's a little brouhaha happening here in one of our local Atlanta suburbs. In Marietta, Georgia (just north of Atlanta), the city council is worried about police officers being sworn in with the phrase "so help me God." Yes, folks .. this is what they are worried about. The oath ...

QUOTE OF THE DAY

A listener emailed this quote from Alexander Frazier Tytler, published in 1776. "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the ...
