The most refreshing thing about Fox News is that they usually strike a different chord than the other media outlets.  Most recently, this can be see in their overall support of the Tea Party, and their refusal to correlate the nascent protest with an exegesis on political manners.  Fox News is the preferred outlet for conservatives, and generally I find myself in the position of defending the courageous network. Having said that, I confess that inference leads me to believe they attract a certain... Read More→

Watching the NYS budget fiasco and Gov Patterson’s all out war against the Unions…I daresay it is about time the Unions looked to Washington and their Knight in Shining Armor to get them out this mess. I’m sure they never imagined that they would be the ones being screwed with a democratic president and a democratic congress that they so enthusiastically endorsed. The Unions are being fed by all the workers of the state, so they owe it to them to make sure all the jobs are saved,... Read More→

This has not been a very good year for freedom, self-rule, or prosperity. Take Congress and the President.  Both are eagerly dismantling American exceptionalism, while singing songs of a healthier population, a greener environment, and a more responsible financial sector. Regrettably, and unerringly, there will be less actual health care, several orders more waste, and the relatively few corrupt financiers who are successfully routed will be replaced by corrupt politicians (excuse my tautology). ... Read More→

…you have to do it yourself. Is that the message Arizona has sent to the federal government with this new law attempting to eliminate illegal immigration? Despite all the things the government is so feverishly working on and trying to change, there seems a growing number of folks/states that still feel the need to take matters into their own hands. But as I think on this I cannot help but digress to the wonder of what can be done about people who are legally in this country but yet are not... Read More→

Ryan Brumberg is running for Congress in NY’s 14th district.  He is an outstanding candidate who understands the need to reverse Washington’s out-of-control spending, and enact smart, responsible policies that will aid our economy. On April 29th, 2010, Mr. Brumberg will be hosting a campaign kick-off party. This will be a great event to meet Mr. Brumberg, ask him questions, network with other young professionals, and have a few drinks with friends.  The details of the event are below.  Hope... Read More→

From MarketWatch: PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (MarketWatch) — The recent run up in bond yields is telling us that the era of low interest rates is drawing to a close. It is also likely that the Fed will maintain this rate until it is certain that the nascent upturn has morphed into a full-fledged recovery and is unlikely to turn down again, creating a double-dip recession. It may be true that the Federal Reserve is keeping short-term rates at historic lows. The key overnight federal funds rate... Read More→

I Deserve A Vote! Tell Governor Paterson To Schedule A Special Election! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzMhUNpwPl4[/youtube] Congressman Eric Massa resigned weeks ago and Governor Paterson has refused to meet his legal requirement to schedule a special election. Why? Because he isn’t confident that he can get one of his cronies elected. Due to the Governor’s delay, we had no vote on the health care take-over and we won’t have any vote on the important issues coming up... Read More→

Of the nation, that is.  That’s right – the spontaneous grassroots protest movement now includes 1/4 people.  A little hard to label one-quarter of the population racist anti-government extremists, isn’t it? As the movement grows, President Obama continues his arrogant and insulting dismissal of all political opponents.  In the Christian Science Monitor: …President Obama has taken on tea party protesters, saying he’s “amused” by their failure to see that... Read More→

From MarketWatch: WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The number of people applying for unemployment benefits jumped 24,000 in the latest week, U.S. data showed Thursday, but the increase appeared to stem largely from the Easter holiday and other factors that distorted the data. Initial claims shot up to a seasonally adjusted 484,000 in the week ended April 10, the Labor Department said…. Claims have unexpectedly risen two straight weeks, but a Labor official said the Easter holiday and a... Read More→
