Tuesday night was proof that government and politics has become the national religion. Deer in the headlights Bush gave his State of the Union speech, and no, I didn’t watch it. How do I know it is symptomatic of politics and government being the national religion? Easy. Every TV channel aired the speech, and for […]
Ron Paul is without doubt the most excellent of all members of Congress. A medical doctor by trade, Libertarian by belief and vote, Republican by party affiliation, and a genuine wonderful American. He has sort of announced for the Presidency in 2008, and I will support him with my writing, voting, and pocketbook. Nothing finer […]
Is there a more sensitive and absorbing organ in the body than the tongue? Then, as a further note on toothpastes which contain fluoride: So what if you do spit it out? When it is in your mouth, can’t the tongue and mouth absorb the fluoride? Think about it. It has been brought to my […]
The correct term should be “legislated unemployment,” and that’s what the minimum wage is, for all practical purposes. This is not a political column, but one of simple logic. When the law sets the ’minimum wage’ that an employer must pay, quite obviously, that employer will take a second look at his staff. It has […]
I Bought a book at Salvation Army last week for a quarter, titled “Hell To Pay,” and it has a picture of Hillary on the front cover. It’s about Hillary from childhood on, and it was written before she became “Senator Clinton.” That is one vicious, cold, calculating woman! I mean this book really exposes […]
How about a new idea from these ancient bones? (Sharp mind though.) Why do we have this absurd two party system? Let me give you my opinion. It is simply so that the Democrats can blame the Republicans and vice versa for all the mistakes, foolish spending, and lousy laws they pass or don’t pass. […]
We all have favorite books, films, and foods. Books, films, and foods we always gyrate to when we need a treat, refresher, or to prove a salient point. I stumbled across a marvelous book several years ago in a Phoenix, AZ used book store. I paid $6.50 for it, and was glad to do it […]
Why can’t we learn? Forty years ago, LBJ insisted on a continual infusion of troops into Vietnam, eventually, as I remember, there were over 700,000, and still we lost. More troops solved nothing. Iraqis are outraged that their homeland has been invaded by foreign troops for no reason, and the way to stop violence against […]
Why does diesel fuel cost an average of fifty cents per gallon more than gasoline? Since there is a lot more diesel fuel obtained from a barrel of oil, and at far lower cost than gasoline, why should it cost fifty or even sixty cents more per gallon? We use two Mercedes diesels, both 1985 […]
Why is everyone so stupid? I don’t know, but I would think that when the treasury announced that it costs one and three quarter cents to make a penny, and eight cents to make a nickel, there would be mass recognition of the fact that the dollar is rapidly becoming worthless. Go to jail if […]
