MARCH 2013 Just Use Your Imagination! Eureka! I have an idea, a green energy idea. We should go out and find some unicorns; train them, and have them run on specially designed treadmills built by Santa’s elves that are hooked up to a state of the art generator built by Obi Wan Kenobi. […]
SEPTEMBER 2011 I am unable to see every speech or statement given by policy makers live, so I often make use of transcripts to get the unfiltered comments of our fearless leaders. We have been accustomed to the mainstream media taking gaffes by prominent Republicans or conservatives in their statements and turning them into laugh […]
SEPTEMBER 2011 It seems as if not a month goes by without our wizards of smart in Washington D.C. threatening some sort of government shutdown if one side or another does not get their way. The latest shutdown threat involves taking some of the funds allocated toward green automobiles and shifting it to pay for […]
SEPTEMBER 2011 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion. When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing. When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors. When you see that men get richer […]
Hold on to your hot dog! That summertime BBQ you were planning is going to cost you. The average food costs for a BBQ are up 29% from last year. Holding a BBQ for a dozen guests will cost you an additional $45 over last year excluding soda and alcohol. To all of you “meat […]
Bill Parcells, the long-time and venerated football coach once stated and I happen to agree with, “You are what your record says you are.” With that being said let us take a look at the record of the Obama Stimulus Package and the Keynesian Playbook that we have followed since 2008, and that includes George […]
