Diplomacy So Clever, You Could Pin a Tail on It and Call It A Weasel
You know what we could really use right about now? We could use a revision to our tax laws so Byzantine that foreign banks would consider not letting Americans open accounts with them for fear of running afoul of our IRS. That sort of thing would instill heaping loads of confidence in our economy when [...]
It’s Easier to Tax the Rich When They Can’t Leave
You know that whole “tax the rich” philosophy of the left? Well, it doesn’t work. The reason it doesn’t work is that the rich didn’t get that way by being stupid. They are pretty good at using the dastardly invention known as an “automobile”. When a bunch of Democrats concoct a scheme to take more [...]
Maybe There’s Something to those Tea Party Things

It was a mere four years ago that the Republican Party governed — and I assure you I employ the word “govern” reluctantly [...]

When the left and their MSM brethren complain that protesters are hypocritical because they didn’t march against President Bush’s deficits, well, this picture shows you why. Compared [...]
Tax Day Tea Party Roundup (With Links, and Rove!)
Yesterday’s Tax Day Tea Parties were a smashing success. There were no reports of any arrests that I could find. No stores were looted. No police officers were harassed or threatened. In fact, the one instance where authories had to take action — in Washington, DC where an unknown participant threw a box of tea [...]
Nancy Pelosi is A Liar
I defy The Stupidest Speaker of the House Ever to name just one of the “wealthiest people in America” she claims funded the Tax Day Tea Parties. I know she can’t, but her dismissive, elitist allegation cannot go unchallenged. I dare her to show me any scrap of proof for her dismissive, elitist allegation. If [...]
