Hiatus is self-explanatory. I’ve taken a break from my political blogging activities of indefinite length but don’t necessarily want to get rid of the blog as I may want to return to it. What isn’t self-explanatory is why and for the few of you who keep track of what I have to say, I think [...]
Sigh, listening to the likes of Peter Schwiezer and the right wing echo chamber discuss ‘crony capitalism’, one would think that this kind of thing never happened in government before, or that other’s haven’t been complaining about it for years. I say welcome to the party, but you should realize most on the right are [...]
First things first – you don’t possess special knowledge of political philosophy, economics or sociology that makes you smarter than the rest of us. I know who the core of Occupy blah blah is – Ad Busters, an anarcho-communist activist group, so don’t bother taking the pose that I’m ignorant of your philosophy. I know, you worship Kropotkin and Proudhon, and believe they saw through this corrupt system of control we idiots call freedom and capitalism. But you see, just as all other communist/collectivist ideologies, all it’s really good for is criticism. It doesn’t possess a stitch of real world applicability.
The spectacle happening on Wall Street and in other cities across the U.S. is no mystery. We turned government into a teat for special interests to suckle from a long time ago. It’s inevitable that some people will get angry and believe that they should get a chance to live off the rest of us [...]

To hear the comments of the pundits and politicians over the past couple of days, one would think that the Tea Party and other’s who support fiscal responsibility are some kind of lunatics. Whether it’s New York Times columnists calling them Jihadists or congressmen calling them [...]
The Cut, Cap and Balance program proposed in the WSJ today is interesting, but it has a big problem.. There isn’t enough support from the American people, or the Republican party for that matter, for such a draconian move. Do you see the poll numbers on cutting individual programs? I mean, why do you think [...]
Obama has just announced that he intends to renew his ‘outreach’ to the Muslim world. Perhaps this gooey sentiment will be as effective as Obama’s many failed efforts as a community organizer in Chicago, but I digress. My question is does Obama think his vaporous words can change the hearts and minds of Arabs and [...]
This is the moment when the right-wingers, the hard core Republicans who are mostly evangelical Christians, are ‘jumping the shark’. For those of you who don’t know, “jumping the shark” refers to the episode of an incredibly long running sitcom, Happy Days, in which a main character, “Fonzi” (also known as ‘the Fonz’) jumped over [...]
I keep reading articles in the “liberty” blogosphere as to whether unions are relevant or not, or whether they “work” or one author even talks about once “liking” them and now not liking them. How absurd. Guess what, the utility of unions are rightfully be determined by the parties who use them – not right [...]
