Wow, that’s a comforting declaration if I ever heard one. It’s like your toddler & preschool age kids promising to “help.” At least with the kids, the kids gain something positive from the experience…and you gain good parent points for letting them “help.” Ronald Reagan said it best: “The most terrifying words in the English [...]

Health Care Reform Revolt
Posted in Health Care, Politics, Taxes on August 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I was recently reminded of a conversation that took place about five years ago, if I recall correctly. I was lamenting in doomsday fashion to my sister and her, at the time, medical student husband about the inevitability of socialized medicine in this country. It’s just going to happen…eventually, I remarked. How does it not [...]

WASHINGTON, D.C. Here are some pictures I took at the tea party in D.C. Ma’am, I have to agree… And my personal favorite… LET’S HOPE FOR RECOVERY! PHOENIX, ARIZONA Lindsey kindly provided these pictures from a tea party in Phoenix.

I am looking forward to a long INDEPENDENCE DAY weekend in our great Nation’s capital. I probably won’t have a chance to update the ‘ol blog during this time, but I am going to try my darnedest to make it to another Tea Party, this time in Washington, D.C. What better way to celebrate our [...]

I was already a fan, for Phantom and Evita, but now I really like this guy. Andrew Lloyd Webber recently published this brilliant op ed at Mail Online: The Last Thing This Country Needs is a Pirate Raid on the Wealth Creators Who Still Dare Navigate Our Stormy Waters (…And don’t lynch me as a [...]
The Method Behind the Madness…or, The Flavor of the Tea
Posted in Economy, Politics, Society, Taxes on April 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Many in the media are trying to cast the tea party goers as extremist nut jobs, partisan hacks who are simply anti-Obama, or even racists protesting the fact that Obama is black. LUDICROUS! The vast majority of tea party protesters are simply average, “working” (and taxpaying) Americans who have HAD IT with the manifestly irresponsible [...]
This Is Why I Don’t Watch CNN

So I asked the question in my previous Tea Party post, “I wonder how these tea parties will be covered in the news?” Well, lets take a look… [Youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G3fvNhdoc0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Face.mu.nu%2F&feature=player_embedded] Ace poses some fitting questions: “Is she there as a representative of CNN or of the Obama Administration? And is there a meaningful distinction between the [...]
A Tea Party To Remember

In the car, on the way to our local Tea Party, my kindergartner received a lesson in civics and our nation’s history. It was a follow up conversation on the one we had on Inauguration Day, about what it means to respect the office of president. Our country has always valued differing opinions and viewpoints, [...]
It Will Be With Great Pleasure That I Vote Against This Man in 2010

Harry Reid is such a dufus…and a total disgrace. Watch him squirm as he actually tries to argue that taxes in this country are voluntary. We’re going to pull a Daschle here in Nevada in 2010, and send Reid back to civilian life. *If you enjoy seeing Harry Reid make a fool of himself, you’ll [...]
“Joe the Dentist:” A Case Study in Marginal Wealth Taxation
Posted in Economy, Politics, Taxes on March 25, 2009 | 12 Comments »
It seems that far too many Americans have a fundamental misunderstanding of basic economic principles. Sure, there are economic theoretical intricacies that even experts quibble over, but there are also simple concepts that the layman can understand, withstanding lack of interest and/or shoddy education. So there are the ignorant, but there are also those who [...]
