In a recent commentary on CNN, by Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation, he suggests that we need to support people like “Joe the Plumber”, and provide the climate in which such entrepreneurial ventures can grow and prosper. Although he doesn’t say so directly in his commentary, I suppose this is [...]

If you want to scare the H__ out of everyone this Holloween, dress up like “A Socialist”! For some reason, this seems to terrorize Americans like few words do. McCain is now using this as his new “scare” tactic, accusing Obama of “socialism”.
I have two words for McCain: “Who Cares!!”? A number [...]

Sometimes I think our political leaders read too much Ian Fleming, or worse, indulge in the faint-within-faint-within-faint political tactics implicit in the whole “Dune” series. If the recent insinuated allegation recently filed by the Obama Campaign is true, then we have nothing short of a full fledged conspiracy to undermine the very fabric of [...]

It turns out “Joe the Plumber” (real name is Joe Wurzelbacher) isn’t really a plumber, and has no real plans to buy anyones business in the near future. In addition, he currently makes about $40,000 a year, and if he did manage to buy the business he has his eye one, he might, if [...]

Conrad, who appeared before the crowd before McCain had arrived, offered a prayer that seemed to urge divine intervention to prevent Barack Obama from winning the presidential election — and cast the outcome as a referendum on differing religions.
The Times’ Maeve Reston was at the event, and she passed along the key passage from Conrad’s [...]

Future generations (if schools still exist), might be taught about the historic meeting on September 25th, 2008, when President Bush was heard to utter “If money doesn’t loosen up, this sucker could go down.”
It was supposed to be not much more than a photo-opportunity, a demonstration of national unity in the face of economic [...]

FROM THE LEE COUNTY, FLORIDA, WEBSITE:
When Mike Scott took charge of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office in 2005, he became just the 12th person to oversee the agency since 1887. Already, he has made his mark in the community – and the state.
“People could say running for sheriff took either courage, ignorance, or [...]

The New York Federal Reserve is lending up to $37.8 billion to American International Group to give the troubled insurer access to much-needed cash (for more, and better parties?).
The new program, announced Wednesday, is on top of the $85 billion the federal government agreed to lend to AIG last month to prevent the global company [...]

This from the LA TImes: Days after the Feds committed $85 billion of tax-payers’ money to a bailout of insurance giant AIG, senior execs from the troubled company headed to Southern California’s ultra swanky St.Regis Resort in Monarch Beach for a week of wining (or should it be “whining”) and dining. The company paid [...]

Patriotic colors, impressive shots of Washington D.C., and a series of murders by the most bumbling bunch of characters this reviewer has probably ever seen. Nothing in this latest creation from the Coen Brothers is typical- unless of course you have become accustomed to their morbid, wry comic sensibilities. 
The film starts off with an over-dramatic [...]
