Apropos of nothing political… I think I\’ve posted this before, but it just popped into my mind, and I like it enough to put it up – even though it might be for the second time. A husband and wife are on their third glass of wine, and the wife, with deep emotion says “I love you so much. I don\’t know how I\’d get through life without you” The...
I needed a little catnap earlier today…so I put on the Olympic curling competition. Is it just me or is curling basically shuffleboard – only less exciting? Maybe that\’s why the “crowd” was so small that they didn\’t even have to announce the number of spectators; they could have done it by names (“Attendance today was Jim, Marcia, Pete, Marie and...

Today\’s quote comes to us from the Obama-appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)Kathleen Sebelius, and was made during a discussion with reporters yesterday. Do yourself a favor and be sitting down when you read it: “Thereis absolutely no evidence, and every economist will tell you this,that there is any job-loss related to the Affordable Care...
hugo chavez, the former “President” of Venezuela (I put that in quotation marks based on the quality of elections – after the first one – which put him there) ran Venezuela into the ground, while supporting every left wing government in Latin America. His successor, nicolas maduro, won a similarly odoriferous election, and has continued to do the same. Finally...
Sometimes you don\’t believe you\’re reading this stuff. Excerpted from Mark Drajem\’s article at businessweek.com: Capturingcarbon from coal-burning power plants would increase the cost ofelectricity at those facilities by as much as 80 percent, more thanutilities would get by selling the carbon, an Energy Departmentofficial said.

First, I would like to post a statement about the USA\’s manufacturing industry.

Today is an anniversary. It marks five years since Barack Obama signed the so-called “stimulus package” into law, on the way to putting us 7 trillion more dollars into debt. Do me a favor and keep the champagne corked – unless you think that 7 trillion more dollars of debt is worthy of a celebratory toast, that is. To commemorate this anniversary (so...
Time for another blog about what we – and, in this case, very especially Arab countries in the Middle East – lose if we lose Israel. Yesterdat;s New York Times op-ed page had an article by Seth M. Siegel which talks about Israel\’s extraordinary advances in water management, and how its successful technology might become a factor in promoting middle east...
