Apparently, almost $800 billion is not enough to stimulate an economic recovery, at least not one led by Barack Obama. So, he’s back at it, demanding a gazillion more dollars, which, according to him, are necessary to pull off an escape from Great Recession City. For those who doubt the wisdom of layering spending upon spending, the Administration has a new marketing slogan to sell the idea. The “Summer of Recovery”, first heard from the…
You can always tell when a politician steps in it. You know, messes up. He gives it away by how he answers questions about whatever it is. Iffy situations that would otherwise fade into distant memory become hot items because politicians just can’t resist making them worse. Usually much worse through the old reliables, denial and cover up. Those bad boys scream volumes about people who are willing to cozy up to them, and none of it…
When we’re standing at the ballot box, we really can’t know the type of leader a newly elected President will be. Especially one with almost no prior national exposure. He could be great, mediocre, bad or really, really bad. Barack Obama has turned out to be really, really bad.
Time and again, he’s proven himself to be a purely political creature, and not a very good one. He manages to get his agenda passed through Congress because…
“The lone gunman” is a slam on Government-led criminal investigations. It’s a term that means official coverup.

The term first came into use by those who rejected the Warren Commission’s finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Today, in our terror-plagued world, The Lone Gunman is back with a vengeance…
We all know about the laws. They’ve been around for almost a hundred years. Consumer safeguards against misleading product and service ads. Constraints on “buyer beware”. Protection when we can’t really know if we’re being given the straight story.
There’s no similar shield against the misrepresentations of political candidates. The right to free speech trumps truth because no thinking voter could possibly believe anything political candidates say. As far as elections are concerned, it’s pretty much…
We’re starting to hear the not-so-subtle sales job. The Great Recession has changed the American way of life permanently. As in forever. Sayonara for what was because we won’t see it again. But, not to worry. The change is all good. It’s brought families back together. We’re now spending time where it matters, with loved ones. This cozy togetherness is the upside of down. A real boon to family values.
The rest of the sales pitch is not as sugar-coated. For individuals…
