(It seems as though my last column might have been printed in Newsweek, rather than in the Washington Post.  If so, I apologize.) Now for Bill Clinton!  The following are direct quotes from Bill O’Reilly’s 2001 book, titled “”The No Spin Zone.” I loved the book. “There is no question in my mind, that […]

  When the most liberal newspaper in America, prints a column condemning Obama, you know the President’s in trouble.  The following column appeared in the Washington Post on March 3, 2013!  I was written by Matt Patterson. “Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama, as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, […]

  Sequestration?  What’s that supposed to mean?  The Dictionary says it is ’separation,’ among other definitions, none of which describe the mish mash going on now in that home of confusion and robbery, Washington D.C.  Let’s see now, the Fed is printing $80 billion a month, and shows no sign of slowing, and there is […]

  One of the greatest frauds today, is that ethanol reduces carbon dioxide (C02) emissions, and in doing so, saves the earth from global climate change.  Responsible scientists say that CO2 plays no role in climate change, and shows up well after any increase or decrease of temperatures.  Ethanol is bad science.  It is bad […]

  One of the most misunderstood words in the English Lexicon, is “Shortages.”  A brief lesson in basic economics follows, if you please. It is now common for various web sites and articles, written by well educated people, to say or write that, “Silver is scarce.”  I say, as a famous general said to Hitler […]

  Every law ever passed, which attempts to control people’s actions, in the name of religion, honesty, health, bad habits, or what have you, has failed miserably, and without exception.  Be it gambling, prostitution, drugs, abortion, alcohol, or for that matter driving, all such laws were utter failures.  Let’s examine a few of them. 1.  […]

  Everything and everyone, needs to justify their existence.  Even in the animal kingdom, animals justify their existence, because they serve a purpose.  Scavenger birds, and fish, eat the droppings or dead bodies, to keep their environment clean.  I am at a loss to explain mosquitoes, but I am sure they have a purpose.  However, […]

  Good grief!  What does government have to do with refrigerators?  Nothing!  Thank goodness.  It has been said that a camel is a horse designed by a government bureaucrat.  Just imagine what a Ford or Mercedes would look like if designed by government.  Or a refrigerator maybe.  It would cost a fortune to buy, wouldn’t […]

  Good money or bad money?  Obviously, the only really good money, is gold and silver, but this is about the world’s unbacked paper currencies, none of which are worth more than the paper they are printed on, if the truth be known.  However, let’s speak about dollars, both good and bad.  Good dollars, are […]

  It takes a long time for people to adjust to, or even recognize what’s happening.  Out of the 300 million Americans, probably not more than a tenth of them really know the pickle we are in, with huge, unpayable debts, and a Congress of both parties, who just keep spending us into the grave.  […]
