Tweet Sadie sent me an email: Would you post this and ask your clever and knowledgeable readers to answer mine or Dirty Harry’s question: Well, do you feel Lucky. Well do ya, Punk? I am not feeling warm and fuzzy. Admission: I am warm enough, but very fuzzy on details about internal drones because DHS [...]

Tweet One of the things I find most distasteful about ObamaCare is its requirement that employers must provide insurance coverage for their employees’ children through their 26th year. I don’t find this just economically wrong, I find it cosmically, morally wrong that our federal government has officially extended childhood until citizens are 26. I cannot [...]

Tweet Maybe I’m in denial, but I’m feeling less depressed than I felt last night and this morning. Part of my more sanguine attitude is based upon a Taranto principle, which is that Obama now owns the events of the next four years: Obama has spent the past four years explaining away his failings by [...]

Tweet Many of Obama’s most educated supporters believe in him because they believe in Keynesian economics. Central to that belief is the theory that government itself can be an economic engine. If people aren’t working, have them work for the government or at least have the government fund their ostensibly “private sector” jobs. This theory [...]

Tweet Gay Patriot posted the other day about yet another anti-Walmart protest. His point was that the protesters, rather than being excited about real paying jobs coming to L.A., insisted that they would be better off with some hypothetical Mom and Pop jobs that might arise if they protested Walmart with sufficient vigor: Last week, [...]

Tweet (Image by Luigi Novi) The Marin County Republican Party, which last year hosted the late, great Andrew Breitbart, was able to entice John Stossel to come visit as part of his book tour for No, They Can’t: Why Government Fails-But Individuals Succeed. To no one’s surprise, during his half hour talk (followed by a [...]

Tweet I woke up this morning to find that my Leftist friends literally plastered Facebook with the above poster. (Since I grew up and still live in the Bay Area, I have lots of Leftist friends.) If the text on the image is unclear, this is what it says: There is nobody in this country [...]

Tweet This post tells the story of a case on which I worked. It’s a true story. Picture this: It’s 2001. You live in California and you own a small business that consists of you and maybe three to five at-will employees. Your profits are decent. One morning, Jane, one of your employees, announces that [...]

Tweet Preparing and eating dinner took precedence of the President’s first State of the Union speech, so I didn’t watch it in real time. Indeed, because I find Obama’s presentation dull (he has the cadences of a slightly defective metronome), I haven’t listened to it at all, but I have read it. I therefore felt [...]
