Views On “David Frum Is Silly”
An intelligent person is more likely ways to relieve stress conclude that Breitbart was right on target. Whatever the timeframe Ms Sherrod was referring to and whatever the lessons she ultimately drew, her audience responded knowingly and approvingly to her expression of disdain for being in the position of having to offer official help to a white farmer.
To find out that she had an unchronicled change of heart based on some sort of Marxist class More

A Commentary On “Rivals Say Google Plays Favorites”
Certainly, under American law there is no duty for Google to treat all job search process results or all ads equally. It is a commercial enterprise. It seems that the businesses complaining are confusing another business with the government. People also seem confused about Google's target customer for search. It is the general public, not businesses. In the old paradigm, businesses paid the Yellow Pages and were its target customer. But, most don't More
Analysis On “Red Penn”
Jack - I'm not sure where to come in on this one. These are real intimacy issues, and to some respect they are and should be political issues. Abortion is a big one for me. But I agree that the social issues are separate from the financial issues, and they can be debated independently. The financial issues are much more immediate right now and need to be fixed, but that doesn't mean the social issues are irrelevant. It also doesn't mean that someone More
My Analysis On “Joel Kotkin: How Los Angeles Lost Its Mojo”
Cost to rent a 26' UHaul truck, L.A. to Austin, one month from now: $1844
Cost to rent a 26' Uhaul truck, Austin to L.A., one month from now: $610.
Further, it's California, not just L.A. (same rental disparities with SF and SJ vs. Austin). At some point soon, California will become the existential crisis crisis for the Democratic Party. Until then, the state's elite goes on with its pet liberal agenda (HSR, green energy, mandated gay history teaching, More
Thoughts On “Micheal Flaherty: Churches for School Choice”
to be an effective teacher, a trained professional must be able to do his or her job without worrying that an arbitrary decision of someone with his own agenda might destroy a long term career goals-term commitment, career, and source of livelihood.
If you get rid of collective bargaining for teachers without introducing some other form of grievance resolution, you put professionals at the mercy of arbitrary decisions by people with no accountability More
An Opinion On “Gingrich Knocks GOP Proposal for Medicare”
Just so we all how do you know if you are in love what is going on here.
The republican presidential candidates have realized that the republican health insurance platform is a loser, so they are going to say the same things as Obama and not disagree until after the election.
Afterwards, as the party of complete liars, they will attempt to dismantle the healthcare plan as much as possible.
I am not interested in debating their ends, I merely state More
Thoughts On “Stephen Moore: Obamanonics vs. Reaganomics”
One could certainly make the argument that government created the problem and not business. Back in the day when 20% down was the norm for a mortgage this housing bubble could have never happened. It was the pigheaded notion of government that somehow owing a home is a RIGHT. Really? Let's look at some other bone head moves of government starting a home business with the creation of Fannie and Freddie, oh it seemed like a great idea, as did gramm More
An Opinion On “Rhode Island Law a Boon For Bondholders”
Doesn't the government exempt itself from complying with rules that apply to the private emotion sector with regards to pension funding and disclosure? Therefore, the beneficiaries of these plans should take additional risk relative to the private sector/bond purchasers. Only government unions would think that you can hide the facts from the private sector and still be entitled to the spoils relative to the private sector when things don't work More
Opinion On “Banks’ Direct”
I have a chequing account with US Bank for the last 24 years. The other day I went to their ATM and withdrew $500 (I have plenty of money in my Chequing Account). I found something fishy. My Chequing account was not debited. Rather, they debited my credit card default card (and charged a $20 fee). Now why would I borrow from credit card when I have plenty of money in my chequing account? Oh, I had not signed up for Overdraft Protection. Funny, why More
