This is something I wish I would have created on my satire web site AlteredNews.Com. But no! It’s real! AIG, you remember, that company that helped get Wall Street into the mess that created the Great Recession, may sue the Federal Government because it argues the bailout terms were too punitive! The board of A.I.G. […]
“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to […]
Looks like the Harmon family is divesting interest in NewsWeeks Daily Beast online blog. Barry Diller launched The Daily Beast under the auspices of former New Yorker and Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown in October 2008.

Or, to steal a phrase from Admiral Ackbar… “It’s a TRAP!!!” But, as far as traps go, this one may be a good one. President Obama is going to ask Congress to give him more power to be able to merge competing Federal agencies, thus getting rid of competing agencies, easing the conflict of overlapping […]
A friend who is an ardent Ron Paul supporter, upon reading that I’m not a fan of Paul’s desire to retreat back to the gold standard, suggested that I watch this video. (here is the transcript) Sorry, but it’s just not as simple as a six minute interview. There is a lot of history being […]
In a recent e-mail, my Mom wanted to pick my brain concerning Ron Paul. I had been meaning to visit that subject anyway, so I’m posting my reply to her here as well. I happen to respect Ron Paul a great deal. I do think some of his ideas on fiscal policy are goofy (going […]
From a recent MSNBC article highlighting the UAW’s recent attempts to gain a foothold in foreign owned non-union auto manufacturers. Exhibit (A) The United Auto Workers union is staking its future on the kind of struggle it hasn’t waged since the 1930s: a massive drive to organize hostile factories. …the target is foreign car makers, […]
