FASCISM OR SOCIALISM: IS THAT THE QUESTION?

I was at a Christmas Party Friday night (no, it was not a “Holiday” Party” – you could tell by the decorations), and, after an offhand crack about Socialism by Yours Truly, a friend asked this question: “Which would you prefer: Fascism or Socialism?” His argument was that we are currently living in a Fascist [...]

THE SANDWICH MAN

Last night, after a pathetic showing at the gym (oh, my fatness was just embarrassing!), my wife & I stopped by our local grocery store (Publix) to pick up subs for dinner. Apparently, it was a bad night for subs. For starters, the “toppings” had already been stored away (it was only 7:30pm, by the [...]

PLAYGROUND POLITICS

Two kids are standing on the playground. The first kid dares the other one to hang upside down by one leg from the monkey bars. The second kid dares him back. The first kid double-dares him.

Tipping the scales in his favor was the promise of jobs for his supporters. And how did he [...]

THE EVIL POOR

How many times have you heard people, specifically the Liberal/Progressive Media and Politicians, refer to the “Evil Rich?” The “Evil Rich” are the “Fat Cats” with money who want to <GASP> make even MORE money by investing their wealth in new industries, expanding existing business investments, or even by saving their money, which, when held [...]
