Posted on January 17, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the upcoming debt ceiling debate could be won handily by the republicans, if they only use some good old down Eastern shrewdness. The debate has been framed by Obama, the democrats and the unbiased … Continue reading →

Crime, Incentives and the Elite

Posted on January 13, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a lawmaker who doesn’t subject himself to his own law, is like a cook who won’t eat his own cooking. In the case of a cook this can lead to gastrointestinal distress, but in … Continue reading →

The Thirst for Logic and for Gold

The Weed of Regulation

Posted on December 13, 2012 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me… regulation has a way of overgrowing the economic garden of a country. Regulation becomes a weed, when it ceases to be a standard and instead becomes accordant, or is a means to prevent competition. … Continue reading →

The War on Prosperity

Posted on December 6, 2012 by john

MF Global, BP and Corporate Malfeasance

Posted on November 29, 2012 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the concept of a whipping boy didn’t work in the Dark Ages, so I don’t understand why people think it would work today. When someone else is punished for one’s transgressions, the lesson learned … Continue reading →

Egyptian Oppression and Morsi’s Rule by Fiat

Posted on November 26, 2012 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, no one should be surprised that the Islamofascist who now oppresses Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, would decree himself above the Law. Such shenanigans have been the currency of tyrants the World over and throughout time. … Continue reading →

Dion

Posted on November 8, 2012 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me the story of Dion is pretty interesting. I’ll recount it as best I can from memory… In ancient times, when Greece was in full bloom, the island of Sicily had more than it’s share … Continue reading →

The Scandalous Obama Administration

Posted on October 29, 2012 by john
