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 [...]
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. The second kid double-dog-dares him. The first kid asks if the other one is scared. The second kid calls [...]
“Pass This Bill Right Away.” When I last posted about the President’s “American Jobs Act,” this was the crux of his argument, that Congress needed to pass this bill right away, and that the population needed to contact their Representatives to tell them to do just that.

“You should pass this bill right away.” Seven little words.

Time keeps on slippin’…slippin’…slippin…and, apparently, Congress and the President have made absolutely no headway into dealing with the whole Debt Ceiling/Budget Crisis that could mean that, within just two weeks, Social Security Beneficiaries may not get their checks, the military may not get paid, and the entire economy may collapse. Well, at least that’s what [...]
The President has made it clear that his line in the sand regarding the ongoing Debt/Deficit Debate is that the Republicans will have to compromise on Taxes. In exchange, he’s willing to consider reform to Entitlement Programs, and what he considers to be massive spending cuts. Four Trillion, in fact, is currently “on the table”…over [...]
