Wait, what? Yes, a conservative is right about something. I am talking about Ben Stein. He occasionally gets pretty nutty about what he thinks, but he hit this topic right on the nose. He said that the biggest problem with the market today is the fear fueling its downfall. When Barack Obama was elected, he [...]
In this tough economy, many company leaders are showing their compassion by taking pay cuts. This little entry is dedicated to Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner. Due to the recession, the NFL has been forced to cut 15% of its 1100 jobs. And Goodell is taking a hit, too. He is voluntarily taking a 20-25% pay [...]
As we see the inevitable big(ger) government coming (at least for temporary purposes), let’s prepare for the evils of socialism. You see, nothing good has ever come out of socialistic ideas. What has the post office ever done for you? Receiving bills in your mail is pretty crappy, isn’t it? And the same thing goes [...]
We have a new president. A brand new administration. A brand new way of approaching our duties as American citizens. For the last eight years, we as Americans failed in our duties. We did not question loud enough, if at all, the (ab)use of power by the Bush Administration. That cannot happen with this administration. [...]
One would think that a 365 to 173 butt kicking in the electoral college (which democrats have hated for a long time) would show republicans the big picture. One would think that an 18 seat deficit in the Senate would show republicans the big picture. One would think that a 78 seat deficit in the [...]
I know that TIME used this title, but I really like it. According to Barack Obama’s advisors, his current plan could create as much as 4.1 million new jobs, more than quadrupling (standard 5th grade math) his campaign promise of 1 million. I can pretty much guarantee that this will be the most progressive legislation [...]
–Sorry about getting this in so late; it’s finals week and I haven’t had time to watch my primary news source (The Daily Show)– So we all know by now the story of Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the man that threw his shoes and shouted at President Bush at his news conference in Iraq. What some of [...]
OK, you all know who Rod Blagojevich is, I won’t bore you with that, let’s just cut straight to the opinion stuff. First of all, Blagojevich grossly overstepped his power as a politician. The standard joke here is that that’s just typical Illinois politics. Go ahead and use that one, I already have several times [...]
In the last couple of days Ford CEO Alan Mulally promised that he would accept a $1 a year salary in order for the government to help keep the business afloat. Finally. Don’t get me wrong, with this deal I believe the government should bail out Ford (after all, they practically employ half the nation). [...]
Barack Obama’s cabinet positioning is well underway, and he’s not willing to say anything regarding it. If there is only one person he absolutely must put into his administration in some way, it’s Chuck Hagel. As a major Obama supporter, and one who is very liberal, I know that Senator Hagel (R-NE) is smarter than [...]
