Our Financials are a Mess
I spent some time reading about yesterday’s Bear Sterns meltdown. By the end of the day, JP Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve were saving them from shuttering their doors, and the Dow was down by nearly 200 points. It really got me thinking about this market of ours.

The Audacity of Racism
I hope that Jeremiah Wright doesn’t mind that I borrowed from his sermon title, but it seemed very fitting. Oh, you don’t know who Jeremiah Wright is? He, until very recently retiring, was Barak Obama’s pastor of over 20 years. He married the Obabma’s, baptized their children and spiritually fed them for two decades. Despite retiring from the pulpit in January, Wright continues to be a driving force in Obama’s life as his campaigns spiritual adviser. The continued association with and dependence on Jeremiah Wright is what is so disturbing about Obama’s backpedaling in the last 24 hours concerning some of Wright’s more controversial sermons.

The whole country is abuzz over Elliot Spitzer’s plan to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens. But Maryland is ahead of the curve. Not content to merely offer government identification to the criminals who cross our border, Maryland now not only hands out drivers licenses like candy but has special office hours for [...]
Democrat Culture of Corruption
Soon after taking office as Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi started to pound the “Republican Culture of Corruption” buzz phrase into the ground. I’ve always wanted to start a series on the Democrat version but never took the time to actually do it. But Joe Biden’s comments this week need to be [...]
Social InSecurity
I had considered writing something for Blog Action Day, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write on environmental topics considering the very important meaning of today’s date. October 15, 2007. The very first baby boomer, today became the first one to apply for Social Security retirement benefits. Her name is Kathleen [...]
