Dear Friends, There is a little hot dog stand near my office that I don’t visit too often because the Polish Dogs are soooo good, but they are so unhealthy. The other day when I stopped by, something triggered a discussion about the current millieux we find ourselves in. I started by using an illustration that [...]

Regulations are the perverse vehicle to remove all possibilities of critical human thought
Dear Friends, Obama sees Obamacare in sight and he is already campaigning for more financial reform. One must ask why the right attempts to reduce regulation, and the left attempts to increase regulation. To me, it is clear. The right knows that freedom and liberty depend on the free flow of ideas and a reasonable [...]
Irrational Government / Irrational Business
Dear Friends, Some time ago, I’d complained that the government reaction to lower usage of mass transit or parking was to raise fares or fees. Business is a bit quirky in this regard, as well. Recall the flood of paperwork earlier this year surrounding fees, etc. for credit cards. Some held their position… very few [...]
The Illogic Of The Left…
Dear Friends, Michael Savage stated, "Liberalism is a mental disorder". I have since substituted "Leftism" for "Liberalism" since the leftists keep moving the label target. But I digress… At issue here is to accurately portray in as few words as possible the mental problems of the loony utopian left. I do this with a quite [...]
Intellectuals Versus Intellectualism
Dear Friends, The constant accusation from the left that conservatives are morons, anti-intellectual, and anti-science is a bit tiresome. The reality is they should look in the mirror and they would find this is simply a reflection of their own short-comings. This is often the case when one entity criticizes another. I chalk it up [...]
Tolerance
Dear Friends, Has anyone taken note of how the word “tolerance” has sort of disappeared from the leftist lexicon these days? What other mischief are these wordsmith revisionists up to? GEA
To Pass Or Not To Pass, That Is The Question…
Dear Friends, We certainly do live in “nuanced” times. I had some communications with two PhD’s on opposite ends of the globe. Both had served as instructors during their careers. The not-so-hypothetical situation posed was… A university class was given a test (pop quiz, mid-term, final, whatever). The best student (s) in the class only [...]
Sarah Palin’s Book “Going Rogue, An American Life”
Dear Friends, I don’t wish to compete with all the reviews that exist in the Amazon.com link below on Sarah Palin’s book, “Going Rogue, An American Life”, which I have just read: http://www.amazon.com/Going-Rogue-American-Sarah-Palin/dp/0061939897/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261262842&sr=1-1 I do wish to make some observations about the situation, however. We know the left loathes her, not because of the contents [...]
A Third Party?
Dear Friends, Many of you and I have discussed the issue of moving to a third party or possibly re-register with no party affiliation. Clearly, if you belong to the Republican Party, a lot of frustration has built up stoked by continual requests for money accompanied by those silly RAH-RAH surveys. If you are a [...]
Terminology (Review)
Dear Friends, A friend used the word “liberal” this weekend and it sounded so odd at this point in time. The looney left, for a least 50-60 years, has made very good inroads into redefining our language to suit their perverted needs: liberal inclusive celebrate diversity tolerance progressive racism gay marriage choice etc., etc. The [...]
