The Economy's Good, Unless You're the Lazy Semi-Rich?
Am I supposed to feel sorry for this man or what? ROCK FALLS, Ill. — Alan Beggerow has stopped looking for work. Laid off as a steelworker at 48, he taught math for a while at a community college. But when that ended, he could not find a job that, in his view, was neither [...]
Good News, Bad News, and a History Lesson.

When John meets John on Capitol Hill, bet on Bolton, not Kerry. Y’know, that little clip would make a heck of a good campaign video to run against the “We Hate George Bush” candidates out there. Link to the video via Gateway Pundit.
I'm Back!
Yep, I’ve returned from Germany and Austria and I’m quite glad to be home. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time overseas thoroughly and will have plenty to say, over several posts, as I recap the trip and provide photos as well, but there’s nothing quite like sleeping in your own bed, drinking your [...]
