The Cat-Fighting Congress
What madness. Congress is in the process of grilling the Oil Executives on the catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. The Oil Executives are clearly blaming the other guy. No surprise there. But the astounding quality of these hearings is the hypocritical Congress pointing out the blame game being played by the Oil Industry. Check […]

Limbaugh Republican Political Strategy Fails
One year has passed. Barack Obama is President. The Patron Saint of Republicans is Rush Limbaugh – and Rush Limbaugh called for the failure of the new President. The strategy was simple minded – block every legislative effort, force failure, then recapture the Congress in 2010, then the Presidency in 2012. The passage of the […]

Real ID’s: Why Are We Frustrated With Government
Modern government is a real enigma. We all agree that we need government, but we all want “the gov’ment” to leave us alone. In many ways conservative and liberals are alike – no one wants big brother government – but everyone wants equality and protection. Everyone hates bureaucracy – but everyone also has their pet […]

Iraq Surge, Republican Purge
The country has become bloated on the red meat of Republican leadership and politics. In desperation the voters are running to the secrecy of their voting booth to purge the atrocities. We live in Punkin Center, Missouri. We are in the 6th Congressional District. The three term Republican Congressman Sam Graves, a gentleman farmer, is […]

America has lost Economic Authority
The past century saw American dominance in the world foreign policy and Economic Markets. Pearl Harbor awakened a ‘sleeping giant.’ The rise of Communism in the Far East and the spread of Socialism in Europe and other geographic areas saw an advancing economic influence of free market capitalism. In the span of eight short years […]

Boring Republicans run a 1994 Campaign
Son, Much of the media attention is given to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Why is that? Fox news would say it is because the media is too liberal. If the Republicans would ever say anything new perhaps they would be in the news. My notion is that the Republicans are so darn boring. Listen […]

Thinking about the Economy? Remember Bill Clinton
Son, The economy is at it’s worst in twenty years – who is in charge anyway? Is anyone in Washington D.C. thinking about anything? I can’t help but reflect on the Presidency of Bill Clinton. Eight years of the greatest economic growth in the history of this Great Country. And you know what – President […]

New Hampshire Gender Factor
Son, I don’t believe it. Not this time. Not in 2008. The pundits are trying to analyze the prospects of the candidates in terms of old ideas. Statistically, which means historically, demographics help predict outcomes. Not this time. Tim Russert was on NBC News tonight – preaching the same old stuff. “…New Hampshire has […]

Obama – the time has come
Son. The time has come for change in America. The genie is out of the bottle. The magic is in the air. Fresh breezes are blowing. Spring will see new life. How many ways can this be said. Barack Obama has sent a message to the White House. Barack Obama has sent a message to […]

2008 Resolutions – Gotta have a list
Son, The idea of resolve – what a concept. Who needs it? What about a parent – should they have resolve? How about Democrats, or Republicans – what might resolve look like in a political party? And how about elected government leaders – a little resolve could go a long way with those folks. So […]

Al Gore or Gandhi?
Dad, Like all of his other supporters, I would like to congratulate Al Gore on winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He has big shoes to fill. On February 2, 1977, Jimmy Carter addressed the nation in a cardigan sweater and asked us all to do our part and turn down our thermostat and wear a […]

Al Gore – Ozone Man
Son, The sweet smell of vindication. Time will ultimately tell the truth. Al Gore has been awarded the Nobel Prize for his lifetime achievement in bringing the issue of Global Warming to the attention of humanity. In 1992 Al Gore was a Vice Presidential Candidate, running with Bill Clinton on the Democratic ticket. They were […]

Say Never
Dad, I don’t like that phrase “never say never.” I hear that a lot. My wife and I will never borrow any money again. I said it. We will never get divorced. I said it again. I will never inject myself with anything that isn’t prescribed. Man, I am on a roll. I believe that […]
