  • Tanking

    As I said in the past months, Obama's numbers were plummeting and he is now starting to tank. Mainstream America can see what many of us saw long ago: he's a socialist and an ivory tower neophyte. We knew he'd be ineffective on the world stage. We knew' [...]

    While visiting many stores and gas stations on our excursion to the south, I was reminded of something I noticed while I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. Inconsistently - depending on the person - a southern accent can render a single-syllable word multi-syllabic.

  • An Idea

    Phillip, who hails from England, says this:America is still an idea, and needs to be written about. The world hates America because it is still an idea. America is whatever we want it to be - unlike Europe, [America] breathes unrestricted by doubt and genuflection. Generally speaking, in the [...]

  • Pictures of Late, with Comments

    A couple of days ago, Tamara and I went for a walk in our favorite cemetary. It has some significance for us because it was a few blocks from her house when we were dating, so we often took Dochas for a walk through it. Amidst lots of good conversation [...]

    Among other things she is best at, I married the best cook in the world. Tamara grilled halibut with cajun seasoning and mango salsa tonight. She served it over a thin bed of grilled hatch peppers and grilled peaches.

    Every man on the planet should be jealous of me. Hell, [...]

  • The Dilemma of Math

    I've been saying for quite a while that Obama's policies will crush our children with the burden of its cost.

    Investor's Business Daily makes this very point in its final paragraph:It won't be today's voters who will pay for this error. It will be their children and grandchildren.A local attorney' [...]

  • $0 in Salary

    Recently, I took a screenshot of a Craigslist want ad that the left is using to entice people to join its pro-ObamaCare, "grassroots" movement.

    You ought to check out Steven Crowder's shoe leather reporting on his job interview with the California leftist "grassroots."

    Really... go. Click on the link. [...]

  • World's Greatest Office

    Being self-employed, I get to work from home. My "office" is a make-shift construction every morning that sits in our family room off our kitchen. I take my artist's table, which is foldable (a gift from my very thoughtful wife), put it on top of the anti-static mat, bring out [...]

    I'm not sure why, but a local guy has taken to reading my Tweets even though he doesn't follow me. His name is Chris, and he's an Obama supporter.

    I offered to go to lunch with him. There's only so much you can explain in 140 characters. But that's not [...]

    Coming soon to an economy near you, trouble:

    Because Obama and crew don't understand how the economy works, delinquencies and foreclosures continue to rise. This, despite their best efforts.

    Consider this:In the first seven months of this year, [Wells Fargo] completed 240,000 modifications for Wells Fargo and Wachovia' [...]

  • Thanks for Making the Point, Part II

    One definition of inefficiency...

    ...is working the problem a lot harder than any reward might bring.

    If you ask the US Postal Service why they're bleeding money, they tell you:"We are subject to Congressional oversight, regulation by other government agencies, and also oversight by various other organizations and the public,"' [...]
