The Audacity of Stupidity

“I understand people’s frustration”   So says the leader of the free world Barack Hussein Obama.   No, he wasn’t talking about the frustration he saw in the results of the midterm election. Nor was he talking about the frustration created by the ideas proposed by his crack team of economic experts that are suggesting raising [...]

Over and Over It’s Almost Over

It’s almost over.   The billboards. The TV commercials. The radio spots. The debates. The interviews. The handshakes. The photo ops. The auto-dialed phone calls. The full page ads. The political action committees. The rallies. The speeches. The political pundits along with their up to the minute opinion polls replete with graphs and charts. It’s all almost over.   With just about 24 hours left before the midterm [...]

Selling Cells

Two wrongs don’t make a right.    Unless, of course, you are able to develop a celebrity driven media campaign and bullshit your way into some government grant money. Then wrong and right no longer matter.   Such is the case with embryonic stem cell research.   After a barrage of well funded, impassioned pleas by [...]

Clueless Joe

Well, that makes it pretty simple.   Pundits are debating a litany of causes for the deep angst and anger being displayed in the current voter polling data. Voters are mad as hell and while even the most liberal minded of the so called experts accept the anger, they differ on their opinions of the root-cause [...]

The Soul of Audacity

“Where does a self-made man go on Mother’s Day?”   Such were the rhetorical tidbits an old friend of mine’s father would come up with. He had a ton of them. The best I was ever able to retort in this battle of clever witticisms was a lame response like “Yea, well, you can lead a horticulture [...]

The Audacity of Being Hillary

“…President Obama has spoken out against the law, because he thinks the federal government should determine immigration policy, and the Justice Department, under his direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against the act…”    That is how Secretary of State Hillary Clinton answered the opening question about the new Arizona immigration law in her interview [...]

Is He Smarter Than a Fifth Grader

The beauty of math is that there is no gray area.   In this day and age of the Great Barack Obfuscation where nothing adds up and numbers don’t matter, an economic scholar named Daniel B. Kline conducted a survey regarding economic fact versus opinion. The results were printed in the Wall Street Journal on June [...]

The Audacity Of Ineptitude

Did you ever watch the TV show “Cops”?   Don’t hold me to it, but “Cops” may have been the first true television reality show. It’s been on the air a long time and folks just can’t seem to get enough of it.   A camera crew goes on patrol with the men of women of [...]

ObamaCare and Old Pat

I have indeed known some real doozies in my life.   Like a fellow I knew named Pat that worked on a road building crew. He would go out every weekend and simply abuse himself to the point of a comatose like blackout. He always claimed he had a great weekend but he could never tell you [...]

The Audacity of Infamy

“It’s like a dream come true”   How many times we heard that same sentiment, repeated over and over again, that chilly November day when Barack Hussein Obama swept the American public’s hearts and their votes to become the first person with at least some African decent to become President of the United States.   [...]
