Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself.

“Trust me.” Have you ever walked away from a discussion with a person–be it a boss, a business associate, a prospective partner–in which you wondered why they felt the need to make that statement? In regard to trust, I feel much more comfortable when others assert, “you can trust him” rather than an individual asserting, [...]

That’s what the Germans seem to think of Secretary Clinton, anyway. It seems they are asking her to help deal with the GM mess as it relates to them, according to this article (H/T to Ani for alerting me to this). Why, you might ask? Because it affects them, too, in a big way. You [...]

Hell to the yes, he did. You want to guess about what he lied? The Census and ACORN workers, that is. Oh yeah – our fears come true:

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to add your [...]

“What Goes Around, Comes Around …”: First, the WSJ panel, aired every weekend, goes over the Pelosi mess. Then the panel gets into the bullying by the Obama administration of the state of California, ridiculing Obama for his, um, loose interpretation of the “rule of law.” It’s a great discussion: BELOW, “the end justifies the [...]

This past week has been a bit up and down. NH and Maine passed same sex marriage laws – YAY! And we find out more gay and lesbian soldiers have been kicked out of the military – BOO. Obama continues to morph into Bush, as I have noted on numerous occasions, but most recently based [...]

In my April 2009 Market Review, I commented on how Uncle Sam is not a good business partner. Business Wire issued the following statement from Chrysler’s Non-TARP Lenders: NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As of last night’s deadline, we were part of a group of approximately 20 relatively small organizations; we represent many of the country’s teachers unions, [...]

What is the Constitutionality of a Newspaper Bailout? That was the question recently posed by Jeff Bercovici of Conde Nast’s Portfolio.com. This issue has come to the fore because various members of Congress are currently considering such an action. Without even commenting as to any possible First Amendment breach by virtue of news organizations being [...]
