Rats and mice have been civilization’s major problems from time evermore.  The old expression “Build a better mouse trap” has come to mean any great but simple invention which helps everyone along their rough road of life.  Including mouse traps.  As an example, I have a new fly swatter which has batteries in it.  […]

  The Washington Times, which is a good paper, had a story which said that no matter what is done economically, disaster is certain to follow.  Damned if you do and damned if you don’t was the theme.  Off a financial and fiscal cliff we will go, no matter what is done about the budget.  […]

  Many a marriage has broken up because of debt.  While the phrase “Till death do us part,” has been literally translated into “Till debt do us part.”  Years ago, I had a psychiatrist tell me that marriages fail because of either money, sex, or in-laws.   It is probably mostly money. Debt is a crushing […]

  I do realize that the big cities have the pretty people, culture, and talent.  The museums, concert halls, art galleries, colleges, universities, and restaurants are simply wonderful.  I don’t want to live in them with their graffiti, crime, and filthy air, but visiting is a great thing to do.  We live about halfway between […]

  Everything is down it seems.  Stocks, precious metals, the euro, and economic disaster plagues Europe.  Spain has a 25% unemployment rate, and its banks are on the verge of going under.  Italy has debts galore, and doesn’t seem to want to economize to pay them, and Greece has riots when the handouts are cut […]

  Males are NOT the superior sex.  We are stronger, and our bodies are physically more adept at athletics.  That’s why there are women’s’ and men’s’ teams. We are probably more logical than females, and as a result often make better businessmen, CEO’s and scientists.  We are more innovative, and most inventions and patents are […]

  France and Greece have copied Obama, almost exactly, thanks to disgruntled voters who don’t like austerity.  In France, they elected Hollande as president who promised to start spending, tax the rich at 75%, and do exactly as Obama has done and continues to try to do.  Debts?  Who cares?  Balance the budget and cut […]

  Currently, everything looks awfully BAD to me.  Everything is going wrong in the world, and there don’t seem to be any solutions.  I have none either, other than to protect yourself.  Look at politics as an example.  Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee, and I hope he wins, but nothing will change.  I […]

  For close to 40 years, we have been robbed blind by one of America’s largest industries, at a huge cost to the consumer, and for some strange reason, no one has done anything about it.  This hand in American pocketbooks and wallets, has continued without interruption.  No one seems to be objecting.  I hereby […]

  Just take one bureaucracy and see if it is needed.  The Department of Labor was founded by FDR, and occupies a magnificent building at 14th and Constitution Ave. N.W. in Washington D.C. It is part of what is known as the “Federal Triangle.”  FDR’s new bureaucracies comprise a sort of triangular section of D.C. […]
