Obamanomics and AT&T

Obamanomics seems to be spreading into the corporate boardrooms of America such as AT&T.  Recall that Obama called for a massive new tax on oil companies as a solution to record high gas prices that have created a hardship for many Americans, particularly the poor for whom he professes to be a champion.
For reasons no [...]

Congress Could Learn from Jurassic Park

The utter lack of common sense among our Congressmen is truly astonishing.  It’s a wonder the country didn’t fall apart ages ago.  For example, take the Foreclosure Rescue Bill which cleared a key Senate hurdle by a whopping 83 to 9 vote, virtually assuring Senate passage later this week.
The AP reports that this plan:
“would let [...]

Bill O’Reilly is Only Half Right on the Oil Issue

Holy Underwhelmed Batman - Bush on Illegals

Did you see the news?  Didja?  On Friday President Bush signed an Executive Order requiring government contractors and certain others to ensure their employees can legally work in the United States.  Call me Unimpressed!
He could have done this seven years ago?  How about after 9/11?  Or maybe last year after he tried to pass Comprehensive [...]

Jessica Simpson and Finding Oneself

Have you ever been lost in life? Maybe you’ve watched a friend or family member stumble from job to job, endeavor to endeavor with no clear purpose or sense of direction. It even happens to leaders or celebrities who seem to have it all. For example, Sunday’s Tennessean has an extensive story [...]
