This will be the last column before Christmas, so I am going to tell you all about Irving Berlin, who wrote “White Christmas” for the 1942 film “Holiday Inn,” which wasn’t a great story, but it has Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire in it, plus the music was good. Irving Berlin, born Israel Baline, […]

                            ONE COLUMN A WEEK.  WEDNESDAYS ONLY I keep running onto some of my old columns, and I think some of them are very worthwhile, even though a bit dated.  There’s lots to write about currently, but refreshing one’s memory isn’t too bad an idea either.  Try this one on for size.  It’s […]

          ONE COLUMN A WEEK FROM NOW ON.  WEDNESDAYS ONLY I don’t know who wrote this, but thanks to Alan for sending it to me.  Massive wealth redistribution?  Looks like the Black House and it’s Democrats are going to try to nationalize our retirement system.  Can you imagine if your IRA had physical gold […]

          ONE COLUMN A WEEK FROM NOW ON.  WEDNESDAYS ONLY This is a column I wrote 20 years ago, and I still think it’s just fine.  Dated?  Maybe a bit, but it only shows the state we’re in, and were in 20 years ago, with no noticeable improvement.  It’s titled, “The Decline Of A […]

                    ONE COLUMN A WEEK FROM NOW ON.  WEDNESDAYS ONLY Texas might secede, and it would be great if it all came to pass, but in the mean time, there’s the “cliff” we can all fall off of, which I think would be great.  Huge cuts in everything, and some tax increases, but a […]

                    ONE COLUMN A WEEK FROM NOW ON.  WEDNESDAYS ONLY Texas secede?  They’ve been talking about it for years, and now they may be serious!  I hope so, but it’ll take a lot more than 30,000 signatures on the White House e-mail.  It would take a vote of the whole state, and I think […]

  Does it really matter that Obama won, and Romney lost?  Probably not.  Romney would have taken longer to destroy America, but it will happen eventually anyway, due to several reasons, all connected with politics, which has destroyed all nations eventually.  Be it Rome or Greece, it always was the same.  Fiscal insanity, voted by […]

  For years, I have preached “Get out of the big cities if possible,” and what is now going on in New  York and New Jersey, bears this out perfectly.  I have been virtually glued to the news TV stations, and especially Fox News and New York’s channel four, for days now, and I feel […]

  The title of this, “I.Q. and unemployment” may seem to be contradictory, but then again, maybe not.  What has increased in the world, is not intelligence, but technology.  What has increased in the world, is not intelligence, but unemployment, and especially among the least intelligent, least educated people.  I firmly believe that I.Q. is […]

  The “Road to Ruin,” has generally meant alcoholism, but the current “road to ruin,” involves drinkers and non-drinkers, because we are all, 100% being ruined by the current economic practices of the Obama Administration.  If you or I lived as do the Washington D.C. legislative crowd, and their hangers on, we’d have ended up […]
