Taliban execute widow for sleeping with man…

15-Aug-10

…barbaric. Just barbaric.

Rangel: Don’t leave me swinging in the wind…

11-Aug-10

this guy is a hoot.  He’s asking for a pass, or a break, on ethics violations.  Who does he think he is, a member of Congress?

On fatherhood…

08-Aug-10

…the last four months have been the greatest of my life.  Holding and caring for my daughter – my daughter – is an amazing joy and huge and great responsibility.  It’s also one that takes up much – most – of my free time from the moment I walk in the door from work.  Thus, the blog suffers.  So be it.  Know that it will not die, only be less “energetic” than before.

The coming pension wars…

08-Aug-10

…I am not a smart man, but from what I have read and the few “numbers” I do know, I believe our country is headed toward fiscal catastrophe.  I just don’t see how the debt levels we have, nationally and individually, are sustainable.  Further, I don’t see how the public pensions are sustainable, without heavy taxation on existing workers.  As a solution, that is not sustainable economically or philosophically.  As this article highlights, the damning position the existing workforce will be/is in is that of paying for pensions they/we will never receive.

How disfunctional is the Senate?

06-Aug-10

Every bit as much as you think.

25-Jul-10

…I don’t actually blame the Senator for not wanting to pay exorbitant taxes on his boat. However, I do blame him for not doing something about it in reference to his position.

Biden: GOP wildly out of step

24-Jul-10

It’s not just the GOP, Mr. VP. Have you seen the 11 percent approval ratings for your ‘esteemed’ institution?

Rangel would have you give him time…

24-Jul-10

Rangel holds press conference

Rangel wants time. For your congress people to indict you means they have a preponderance of evidence they can’t safely ignore. You are out of time.

Of Apple and Ayn Rand…

19-Jul-10

…Forbes connects Steve Jobs with Ayn Rand.  I think the connection in this context has merit.

Alvin Greene gives first campaign speech…

19-Jul-10

…I hope he gets elected. I want those in Washington to know Americans are fed up with the bullshit. I want them to know we’d rather have well meaning guys like Greene in office than professional politicians more in bed with Wall St than their wives.
