This may have been a little too cute - it was late in the trading day. What I meant was that some people would look at the "fairness" of the deal first and the absolute size of their piece second. So, in today's politics, especially when liberals talk, you hear a lot about "what's fair" and "pay...

Yeah, I agree. This is unfortunate for all of us. Ask a liberal: would you rather have half of a 12" pie or a third of a 30" pie? You can guess the answer.

That's a tough one, and I know it means a lot of pain to many people, including folks I know well. But, it's not the end of the world. Listen, I used to work for AT&T. Nowadays, this may be just a name to you, but, when I joined Bell Labs, in 1980... I mean, man, we were Ma Bell, THE BELL...

No, we manage them better and make sure they are temporary until people can get back on their feet, and that these programs reward good, honest, hard-working Americans who WANT to make it on their own. Minimum requirement, each recipient, and, primarily, their congressperson, have to say a...

MoveOn 'Baby Alex' Ad a Real Winner By: Bill O'Reilly "Have you seen the "Baby Alex" political ad that the radical-left, George Soros-funded organization MoveOn has produced? To some, it plays like a "Saturday Night Live" skit, but the intent is deadly serious: It is designed to damage...

I don't know who Tyrone or Wellington are, but I know Al, my car mechanic, a very smart, tall, heavyset black man with 7 teenagers at home, who built his business up from nothing - really, nothing other than his brains and back. He would be the first one to tell you that if the Government...

Obama's Public Financing Move Puts System at Risk, Biden Says By John Brinsley "June 22 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic Senator Barack Obama's decision not to accept public funds for his presidential campaign puts the financing system at risk, said Senator Joe Biden, an Obama supporter...

I know someone who is a Supreme Court Judge in a EU country and makes about $50,000/year. He has a hard time being able to afford a nice apartment and a Toyota car, although he is (locally) considered very well off. When did we stop using absolute language in favor or all-relative...

Call me a dreamer or just plain strange but my hope is a Government that provides NO end-user services (not even national defense, police or education) but plays the role of a giant, powerful, impartial referee overseeing the market participants who compete in offering the products and services...

IS OBAMA TEFLON? By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN "It’s been a rough two weeks for Barack Obama, but his poll numbers remain strong and unchanged. Is he a Teflon candidate? Consider what’s happened since he clinched the Democratic nomination and Hillary “suspended” her campaign...

Welfare: Helping so Much it Hurts March 6, 2008 by http://thepatriot.wordpress.com/ "Does anybody believe that the current welfare state is actually helping anybody? I just read a stat that would say no. Back in 1950 1 in 12 people were in poverty and the government spent less than 10...

I remember reading that case in Business School where a poor widow and welfare recipient worked odd jobs here and there, babysat for other mothers, stayed out of trouble, ate saltine crackers and peanut butter, fed stale bread (that she was getting for free) soaked in milk to her children...

I really sympathize with those in need. Yet, there's a fine line to walk, an important balance to keep, between helping (temporarily) someone in need, and creating a whole class of people who take that help for granted and use it to justify their unwillingness to work hard like those whose taxes...

From Senator Mitch McConnell: Gas Prices Petition For too long, Washington Democrats have refused to find real answers to America’s energy challenges. Instead of working toward energy independence, their reaction is to beg Arab nations for more $135 per barrel oil. The result? Since...

Were you stepping hard on her right foot? :) :) :)

What I don't understand is how can we (the US) stop speculation on oil. Yes, we can stop our pension funds etc from being in that market (oil futures) but oil speculation will go on, if not here, then in London, Dubai etc, right? We've got to do all of these things in parallel: limit...
