I chuckled when I first heard that 24% of republicans believe that Obama is the Anti-Christ. As I kept hearing this stat on every news program, it began to get on my nerves. Polls have always seemed a little sketchy to me, now they appear down right dumb. (more…)

Does It Matter That Al Gore Will Be The First Global Warming Billionaire?
Thursday, March 11th, 2010Environmentalists immediate reply to any scientist questioning global warming is to say “they are working for the oil companies”. In other words, their profit or income is based on denying that the planet’s future is in danger due to global warming. I would debate that point alone, but the hypocrisy of these same environmentalists concerning Al Gore is more outrageous. (more…)
Are Baby Boomers the Key to Economic Recovery?
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010We baby boomers are probably to blame for the economic crisis. There are too many of us and we represent the biggest consuming group ever. We borrowed to our hearts content and now cry, “uh-oh”. Because we will live way too long, we will be responsible for breaking Social Security and Medicare. But here’s the good news, we can save America from economic disaster. (more…)
Is There Still an American Dream?
Sunday, March 7th, 2010I’m a baby boomer. My parents were kids during the Great Depression. They spoke often about their struggles from the Depression through WWII. For them, the thing greater than those terrible times was the great American dream. They dreamed of a better, richer, and happier life. I asked my three 20 something kids to describe the American dream. Suffice it to say their expectations are low. (more…)
Should Granny Have A Gun?
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010My favorite show as a kid was “The Beverly Hillbillies”. I identified with Jethro because I too was a “poor mountaineer” and could never get enough to eat. In the rural community of my childhood everyone had guns and there was no gun control issue. I now live near Chicago where guns are illegal. The Supreme Court may change that soon. (more…)
Are They Economists or EconoNUTS?
Friday, February 19th, 2010I have been reading and trying to understand economics since college. The more I learn the less I know. Economics seems more about romance than science. Obama’s team says their economic policies rescued us from a second depression and created or saved millions of jobs. Are they nuts? (more…)
What If There Hadn’t Been a War with Iraq?
Sunday, February 14th, 2010Joe Biden said that success in Iraq may be one of the great achievements of the Obama administration. Most of our soldiers will be home by summer and the Iraq government is doing well. What would the situation be today if we had not invaded Iraq? (more…)
Does Al Gore Own A Snow Shovel?
Monday, February 8th, 2010Every time there is a snow storm I think of Al Gore. When it snows over two feet in places like Philadelphia and Baltimore, I giggle at Al Gore. I don’t know if he still owns a home in D.C., but it is not a good day for the area global warming prophets.
Why Won’t Al Gore Debate Global Warming?
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010As I write this article the entire United States is under a big artic blast. It was 40 degrees at the Orange Bowl in Miami, the coldest ever. Beijing, London, Seoul, and other parts of the world are under the biggest snow falls in their histories. And Al Gore says there is no need for more debate on global warming. I know, he would say this extreme cold is caused by global warming. (more…)
