By Wink “Someone who is nice to you, but is rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.” – Dave Barry ——————– I love acronyms. I especially love the ones that, in a subtle way, describe a moron or a jerk. C.O.B. is one of my personal favorites. It may mean something else to [...]

Newt and Values

By Wink It looks increasingly like you may get a chance, wherever you may live, to vote for Newt Gingrich in your local primary. I wasn’t sure he would make it this far, but he has, and he seems to be thriving. This is curious because most people who have worked with him, especially Republicans [...]

Do We Spend Enough on Defense?

By Wink 2012 is an election year. Get ready to be inundated with endless distortions and misrepresentations. The development of Super-PAC’s will take mud-slinging ads to new heights. Ceaseless, endless, unaccountable money. Are you ready for it? A ‘big one’ that you will hear from now until the second Tuesday in November is “Obama is [...]

By Wink The current price of gold is at a three month low, and is still dropping. Are you still buying? There are lots of things you can invest in. Even in this recessed economy there are stocks and bonds that will make you money. You can buy commodities like wheat futures and, yes, gold. [...]

GOP Increases Payroll Tax

By Wink The Democrat-led Senate passed a two month extension to our current payroll tax cuts, and then went home for Christmas. The Republican-controlled House chose NOT to vote on it, and then went home for Christmas. Not voting means the tax will increase effective January 1. The new-age GOP plays zero-sum politics. All of [...]

By Wink Is there anyone anywhere that doesn’t already know that Donald Trump is a (pardon my French) media whore? ** I am now officially approaching ‘old’ so I can say with some authority that I have never in my life seen someone so self-absorbed. Never. Madonna seems modest by comparison. I didn’t live in [...]

No “Out” for Hinckley

By Wink Current Republicans, for some reason, have deified Ronald Reagan. This is curious, for certain, because Reagan was way more liberal than any current GOP candidate would dare to admit. Today Reagan would never make it past the Iowa caucuses. All of that is a discussion for another day. On that day, we will [...]

By Wink I disagree with syndicated writer Cal Thomas on a number of issues, but I read him all the time. His writing is smart enough that he frequently forces me to revisit my perspectives on different issues. He recently wrote a charming article about his fondness for Texas. Good for him. I have been [...]

The Cain Mutiny

By Wink Herman Cain has been accused of multiple counts of sexual misconduct. I am confident this charge could be leveled on any number of corporate executives. Sometimes money, power and adulation can go to your head, and not everyone is above abusing that power. Can I prove that he did any or all of [...]
