Social Insecurity
So everyone is apoplectic about Governor and presidential wannabe Rick Perry saying that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme”. Some will take the transparently hypocritical route of saying Perry wants to starve old people. On the other end will be those...The (un)Civil War
After a deranged atheist attempted to assassinate Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the press blamed the Tea Party and President Obama solemnly told us we needed to be more “civil”. But Obama’s cheerleaders apparently thought he meant civil...Timing Is Everything
Talk about bad timing! This week President Obama returned from vacation tanned and rested and ready to fulfill his pre-trip promise to reveal his “jobs plan”. His first misstep was to plan a speech to both houses of Congress on the very day and time of a...The Necessary Evil
