Bush Puts Alaskan Oil Out of Reach
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

While President Bush is meeting with his Saudi masters to discuss oil prices, you can be sure that one of the things he will tell them is that he met their demand to insure that the potentially vast oil and natural gas reserves off the coast of Alaska, the realm of the polar bear, have […]

McCain Lampoons the Gender Wage Gap Myth
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Ready for a morning chuckle to jump-start your day? Pay a visit to Hillary Clinton’s website that claims with a straight face, “Women still earn significantly less money than men for doing the same jobs.” [www.hillaryclinton.com/video/13.aspx] 
The first part of Hillary’s sentence is true – women indeed earn less than men. But the last four words […]

Obama’s Excremental Economics
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

As prolongation of the 1930s Depression and stagflation in the 1970s demonstrated, Senator Obama’s announced policies are a prescription for economic disaster.
Keynesian economic doctrine, not under that name, but in substance, is back in the news in a truly menacing way. Senator Obama proposes to repeat the policies of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal that turned […]

Nonsense ‘Survey’ Says Americans ‘Struggling in Life’
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

How about I ask you if you “feel” like you make enough money each year? Let’s say you make $48,000 a year, OK? (That’s the median household income in the US) You’ll likely tell me, then that you “feel” you need more. Now, from this, can I conclude that you are “struggling in life” as […]

An Early October Surprise
Monday, May 12th, 2008

Is it any coincidence that in this year of 2008 we face perhaps the most important presidential elections in our history, and in the same year, a doubling of gas prices has occurred? It would be a stretch of the imagination, or as Mrs. Clinton would say - “a suspension of disbelief” to believe that these two issues are not connected. Remember George Soros?

Nothing To Offer, Nothing Left To Say
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

For the past 3 days I have been trying to come up with a topic to write about this week, but I keep coming up with the same answer - nothing. Which incidentally is pretty much the same answer Mrs. Clinton comes up with to most every question she’s asked in an interview.
For example, when […]

Recession Obsession
Friday, May 2nd, 2008

All day Wednesday, the Fox News Channel was repeating some poll in which around 45% of Americans believed we are in a recession. It’s not like the signs aren’t all around us.
While Neil Cavuto reminded fact-challenged, Clinton operative Lanny Davis that 95% of homeowners are indeed paying their mortgages on time, Davis continued his recitation […]

New York Times Attacking Textbook Makers, Veiled Attack on Capitalism
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

-By Warner Todd Huston
College textbooks are overpriced and something should be done. Why, Congress should even step in! That is the message that The New York Times wants us to understand and I can’t say it is, in and of itself, entirely the wrong message — save the whole bit about Congress stepping in, of […]

Islamic Shari’ah Banking, Is It Invading America?
Monday, April 28th, 2008

-By Warner Todd Huston
The Daily Record in Baltimore, Maryland recently published a story by Brendan Kearney that oddly seems to present a conflict between a bank employing Islamic Shari’ah law with its American investments and some black American borrowers and painting it as a racist issue. Sadly, the real story, that of Islamic law being […]

When Will We Admit the Truth About Barack Obama?
Sunday, April 27th, 2008

If you interview someone for a job, you’ll expect him to tell you what you want to hear. There’ll be a façade, and his darker side will remain well-hidden. Now, let’s say a requirement for the job is that the applicant likes children, and he does his best Captain Kangaroo. But then you find out […]
