At Least It Will Be Fair

I’m told the so-called “Buffet Rule”, where capital gains taxes are increased to the level of regular income (to make it “fair”) will raise about $4 billion per year. Chump change to the Federal government, which spends about that much...

It’s The Speculators, I Tell You!

Today I fueled up both cars at once. Yikes! $107.28 and they weren’t even really empty! To add insult to injury, I got the gasoline for 30 cents off the posted price per gallon. It should have been nine dollars more. How did I get it 30 cents off? I had 300 fuel...

Duh, Duh, Duh!

As gas prices continue to edge up past $3.60 per gallon, President Obama went to Florida and made a scoffing speech about energy, in which he insisted that more oil was being produced during his administration and we should just shut up about the current price of...

The Purfuit of Happineff

“All your S’s look like F’s”, said Ben Franklin to Tom Jefferson in a classic Stan Freberg radio skit (YouTube) about the writing of the Declaration of Independence, concerning Jefferson’s flourishing Colonial penmanship. Interestingly,...
