While Lyndon Johnson, proclaimed “Memorial Day’s birthplace,” to be Waterloo New York, in May 1966, that was hardly the birthplace of the day honoring America’s armed forces dead. Several towns claim its actual beginnings, but of one fact there can be no doubt, and that it began in the South, during the War Between […]
Senator Alan Simpson called seniors “The greediest generation”, comparing Social Security to a “milk cow with 310 million teats.” A letter arrived at his office, written by an unknown. “Hey Alan, let’s get a few things straight. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS. I have been […]
October 21, 1844, was the day which William Miller finally decided that the world would end. He had several other dates, but finally decided on October 21st, after much prayer, and figuring.

This “Uncle Scam” series will end now with this one, because I don’t want to bore you. Let’s consider Afghanistan and Libya.

They are Republicans, Democrats, a President, Cabinet, plus thousands of bureaucrats and federal employees whose numbers multiply like […]
England and Scotland are absolutely beautiful. Charming little towns, huge cathedrals a thousand years old, and I am glad we took the tour. But I was shocked at their economic situation, and it is so easy to compare theirs to ours. British gasoline is $9-$10 per gallon, and they drive around in these tiny […]
