Last week I opined that our Rookie President and his administration were in over their heads–that basically they were, in effect, clueless.  Last week end President Obama apparently agreed with me, suggesting that distributing the alleged stimulus was not as effective as he had originally projected and there was a significant learning curve associated with economic [...]

I’m tired of everyone dumping on George Bush.  I’m the first to admit that he has some serious leadership deficiencies, but he is the President and won the job fair and square twice, despite what the Libs think.  As President, he deserves our respect, just like Nixon and Clinton did.  For eight years, I had [...]

Today was the first day of the Iowa State Fair.  I had intended to participate in the early morning event (but slept in instead) to break the record for the most corn-dogs eaten by the most people at the same time in the same place.  Sounds like it was a rip-roaring success, with over 15,000 [...]

Tonight I attended my first Polk County (Iowa) Republican Central Committee meeting. I have never been at this level of politics (okay, 2008 continues to be a year of firsts for me in local politics), and it was more interesting than I expected.

It looks like the hubbub about Obama and the fake presidential seal is over, at least for now.  I hadn’t had a chance to comment on it until today, and I was surprised not so much because the act of using this seal was essentially illegal (although we’ll probably never get a chance to have [...]

I will strongly recommend that our readers to take a look at the cover story of Newsweek’s March 10 edition . It is a great story about the late Mr. William F. Buckley.  You will find additional articles from various contributors also in this edition.  It will be quite an understatement to say that with the passing [...]

A couple of days ago, I expressed concern about our nation’s economy. You will recall  from an article  I posted here I worried about our nation’s business running to foreign countries looking for more capital to prop up their companies.  Evidently, the President and Congress believe that additional help won’t hurt.
The New York Times reports on [...]
