I am really tempted to use the old “Pot calling the kettle black” analogy, but that would only elicit more hate mail accusing me of racism. There has, however, never been a more fitting illustration of exactly what that well worn phrase describes than Barack Obama’s warning Wall Street executives about economic risk and ruin. [...]
Did I miss a memo? When did we decide as a nation that it was understandable and more importantly excusable to have generation after generation living off the government teat, but that it is inexcusable and for all intents and purposes prosecutable, to take advantage of the opportunities afforded in this country and work your [...]

A man is at an economist’s office and the economist says “I have some good news and I have some bad news”. That classic “doctor joke” opening line is pretty much how I see our current economic plight, but not nearly as funny. It’s more like – A horse walks into his 401K director’s office [...]
The truth is that everything I am about to say is a lie. That is pretty much what I took away from VP Joe Footinmouth’s recent foray onto the cable news channels and network news shows. Big Joe, it seems, is becoming the point man for the Obama administrations newest “The dog ate my homework” [...]
Notice to the learned elected officials looking for more of my money: How about NO! Does NO work for you? It is almost surrealistic in its scope, but there doesn’t seem to be any government body in this country that is not looking to raise taxes in the midst of the most depressed economy in [...]
Only $670 million tax dollars, plus expenses, so grandma can see how happy Bob’s wife is now that he uses male enhancement. What a deal!

The original $20 million appropriated [...]
Ok kids, it’s time for a pop quiz! No looking at your neighbor’s paper. Question: After successfully wrangling a debt laden, pork bloated $780 billion spending package through congress, with literally tens of billions of dollars worth of pet projects and ear marks, how do you switch the focus of the American taxpayer who will [...]
If this is a stimulus package, Popeye is a sissy. Even though I have taken only a summary look at the line item details of the $787 billion bill which Congressional Democrats and the President are falsely avowing to be stimulus, I can honestly say that the Monumental Plaza in Mexico City, the world’s largest [...]
ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would use more exclamation points if I thought it would help. The ever campaigning promissory note that is Barack Obama is back in his most comfortable role of traveling from town to town expounding political rhetoric while never letting the facts get in the way of a good 10 second sound bite. [...]
Step right up and test your skill. All you have to do is hit the target and you’ll win the little lady a Cupie Doll. The barkers at the carnival always make it sound so easy. That’s how he suckers you in to try it in the first place. Then after each turn he assures [...]
