There has been a lot of discussion on the MSM about ACORN and alleged voter registration fraud. But that is small potatoes. Some may wish you to pay attention to fake names getting registered but that is not about voting fraud. It was registration fraud and nobody contends these fake people ever were intended to vote. This is about homeless and lower income people writing down fake names to make a nickel in a fraud against ACORN. The bigger...

Drill More? America Deserves Better! Not the same old same old.
I was only 7 years old when President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to think of the possibilities of space and launched the nation onto a journey reaching to the Moon. He stated: “Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming...
Buying an iBond and Remembering FDR
Cross-Posted on Stock Picks Bob’s Advice: A few days ago I discussed how I was looking into an iBond. So I visited my local Wells Fargo Bank and purchased a $5,000 bond for a long-term investment. And the more I thought about, the more I became perplexed about this new limit on individual savings bond purchases each year. As reported by Chris Farrell on American Public Media “Marketplace”: “I think it’s a terrible move. Here’s the breakdown: Savers can...
If It’s Good For the Goose…..
Cross-Posted from Stock Picks Bob’s Advice: Do Large Banks Need More Financial Help than Homeowners? Last week the White House made it clear that they would use the veto power of the President to stop the effort by Congressional Democrats to assist homeowners who may be facing foreclosure. As reported: “Opening what is likely to be an intense political battle in the deepening mortgage crisis, the White House said it strongly opposed the bill, which would let bankruptcy court...
Supporting Obama For President
I am a great admirer of Hillary and Bill Clinton. An amazing team of politicians that our nation has been fortunate to have had as leaders. But South Carolina has convinced me that Obama’s time is now. Some of you may know me as the author of the John Kerry for President 2008 blog. You may also know me as one of the more vocal critics of this Administration and all that has gone wrong in America under this...
Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.: Taking Stock in America!
Somehow I would be remiss on this blog if I didn’t say something about Martin Luther King, Jr. on his Birthday. Many of you readers find it strange that I could be a “liberal” and yet believe in the free market system of investments and stocks and the like. Yet is a fact. We are facing a major decline in the stock market tomorrow. So ‘What does this have to do with Reverend King?’ I can hear you asking. ...

Res 847: December 11, 2007.Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world; Whereas there are approximately 225,000,000 Christians in the United States, making Christianity the religion of over three-fourths of the American population; Whereas there are approximately 2,000,000,000 Christians throughout...
Creches and 1st Amendment Issues: A Nice Letter
I read a nice comment (December 23, 2007 9:15 am) from a reader called “Tenacious G” regarding the Manitowoc creche controversy. (Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter). It is succinct and deserves preservation and perusal. I wish all of my friends a very Merry Christmas! But I also look forward to a 2008 in which we as Americans can learn to appreciate diversity, respect tolerance, and work to preserve the very special nature of America in regards to freedom of religious...
