They Say The Best Things In Life Are Free
It’s cold. It snowed yesterday night, and the forecast calls for nothing but more nasty weather. That makes my mind wander south—like Florida. The neat thing is that with the current economy a lot of fun vacation spots show you free things that you can do. Like sites that show you free things you can [...]
Beauty is Fleeting
It was recently in the news that a woman stole breast implants by impersonating someone else. Nothing else captures, I believe, the height of our problem in America than the lengths that we will go to get something that we don’t really need. Don’t get me wrong, there are good reasons for getting Breast Surgery [...]
Bringing In The Big Rigs
There comes a point where it becomes necessary to bring in the big guns—to take big chances and to do the big job that no one else seems to want to do. That’s about how I feel about the current state of politics in our nation. We have a bunch of people up in Washington—some [...]
The Paris Hilton’s Of Politics
Image by Getty Images via Daylife In 1776, things were much different than they are today. America was made up of a primarily Christian people– some of them slaves, some prisoners, some outcasts and some that were looking for a fresh start. Whether it was Anglican, Puritan, Catholic or Quaker, the nation was made up [...]
What Does One Trillion Dollars Look Like?
It’s weird to try to think through just how much money our government spends. The number, whether in words or in a figure is almost too much to comprehend. Someone has done us the favor of making a page to show just how big this number is—and I think it will surprise you! Just what [...]
Is This Part of a Plan?
Or is it just inept mismanagement? The truth is, I’m not sure I can tell. I can’t figure out whether this whole thing about AIG and the bailout is something that is a predicament for the liberals, or something that’s going according to plan, so I’ll layout how I think it could be either way, [...]
In Case of An Accident
Have you ever been in an automobile accident? I have actually been in three. The first one was on a wet slippery road. My dad was stopped at a stop light and a car came right up and hit us from behind. Same thing happened on a busy road while I was carpooling to work [...]
Liberty and Morality
I have always considered myself a Conservative. I’m a person that believes in the Bible, and the moral code contained in it. I know that disobeying the truths found in it will result in judgement. Just like economics, government and the seasons, there is a cycle of morality at work, in which a country that [...]
What the AIG Bonuses Mean to You
Don’t get me wrong. I’m pretty sure that giving out bonuses as your company practically goes into bankruptcy (which is where it probably would have ended up if the government had not stepped in) is a pretty low activity. The problem I’m having is that this whole problem was caused by the government– a government [...]
Obama Gives Corporate Execs A Bonus
If there were any balance in the media, or if the media treated President Obama like they treated President Bush the above headline would be screaming from every newspaper in the land—because that’s exactly what happened.
A Strange Turn of Events
On Monday, President Obama signed an executive order reversing President Bush’s order to not use any new lines of embryonic stem cells for research with federal money. New lines could still be tested using state funds and through private companies, but federal funds could not be used. As expected, the pro-life movement was against this [...]
The Curse of Debt
Debt. AKA- Spending tomorrow’s dollar today. It’s what has our country under it’s spell. It’s an enabler—enabling you to believe that you can have today what you want, because you’ll always have the job you have now—or will you? And the funny thing is, now that the economy is doing poorly, the government is trying [...]
Finding Work In a Downturn
As I’ve said before, recessions are natural things—things that allow new companies to grow up in place of companies that have become too rigid. They’re a time of new ideas, and fortunately for us, we live in a day where we can do work for people we’ve never met and never leave the comfort of [...]
What Was That Smell?
One of the interesting things about new houses is the fact that each family group has a smell about them. I’m not necessarily saying that they have a bad smell, just a different, unique smell. When you enter someone’s house for the first time, you notice it, but you don’t usually notice it in your [...]
