The Media and much of the blogosphere focus on blaming the President for the state of affairs of the nation.The President bears much responsibility in the context of his leadership and "bully pulpit" to promote a political policy agenda.  The real responsibility lies with the Congress, as it was designed.  ...

What is fair?

Friday, May 28th, 2010

To those ruled by envy or greed, economic "fair" means little or nothing from themselves and as much as possible from others.  Here is what fair means.  To me it means equitable and just when the context is economic.Hillary Clinton believes that "The rich are not paying their fair share".  ...

Reality in lala land

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Reality in lala land is simple.  Ignore objective reality.  Ignore basic economics of supply and demand.  Ignore the definitions of simple words like "insurance".  Then crow about "this is what change looks like".

Shocking Agreement

Friday, December 11th, 2009

I nearly never agree with my favorite xenophobe paleo-reform-con Pat Buchanan.  He sure gets it right here.  It is only through ignorance (willful or lazy) that any person places confidence in government or its artificial creature entities to "fix things" or "run things" not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.  This ...
