Obama: we’ve turned the corner; American People: no we haven’t
President Obama has repeatedly said that the economy has turned a corner. According to Dick Morris’s polling, the American people disagree: From May 5-11, 2012, I conducted a survey of 6,000 likely voters. On such a mammoth sample, the margin of error is less than 1 percent. I found that Romney has amassed a sizable lead over Obama of 51-42, far in excess of what published polling and surveys of registered — as opposed to likely — voters are indicating. If Romney were to win 51 percent of the vote, the election would, of course, be very close. But if he could hold Obama to 42 percent, it would be a landslide. So the obvious question is how Romney should go about winning the voters in between. To answer this question, I drilled … Read entire article »

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson apologize for a rush to judgement in the Treyvon Martin case! (Photos)
Just kidding! These two only come out when the cameras are rolling to grab media attention and make accusations in racially charged cases before any or all of the facts are in! Sounds a little like President Obama but I digress. The problem is that if and when facts emerge that show they may be in error, the silence will no doubt be deafening and the damage will have already been done. Of course in the case of Al Sharpton those of us in New York know this behavior only too well. For those not from New York just Google Tawana Brawley and you’ll see what I mean.

Daniel in the Lion’s Den: Fighting for Liberty at the United Nations
I posted yesterday about visiting the United Nations to participate in “The High Level Thematic Debate on the State of the World Economy.” There were five speakers on my panel, including yours truly. Here are my thoughts on what the others said. Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, must have been part of the buzz-word contest I mentioned yesterday. Lots of rhetoric that theoretically was inoffensive, but I had the feeling that it translated into a call for more government. But maybe I’m paranoid SOB, so who knows. Professor Dato’ Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin, Rector of the International Islamic University of Malaysia, was an interesting mix. At some points, she sounded like Ron Paul, saying nice things about the gold standard and low tax rates. But she also … Read entire article »

Endangered Species Alert
Today, May 18, is Endangered Species Day. For those who have not in the past observed this important day, please attend to this important national alert. A grassroots effort is needed to protect the species Americanus, now facing extinction. This exceptional species, known throughout the world for a rare, self-directing ability to turn energy into wealth, is threatened almost daily by the organism Socialisticus, which has already caused extensive damage in Europe, its natural habitat. Studies show the organism has spread to the District of Columbia where it has found an environment suitable to its needs and is spreading rapidly. Experts in the species preservation field advise there is only one way to deal with the outbreak. The infected area must be fumigated by November of 2012, prior to the next … Read entire article »

Global Bondageddon?
For some EU countries (i.e. Spain, Italy, Greece) the Doomsday Clock is ticking towards midnight! Not the nuclear Doomsday Clock leading to global armageddon, but the Bondageddon of the financial kind. This potential outcome crosses the mind when you realize the type of political buffoons and supposed financial markets gurus who are running the show in Europe as well as here in the United States. The terms Doomsday Clock and Bondegeddon conjure up images of a potential global financial disaster the likes of which have not been seen since the last actual global financial disaster back in 2008. This is the one that supposedly, at least according to the pundits, has been over for a few years with the U.S. economy in some type of expansion! But then, when you look at the 10-year … Read entire article »

Paulers for Pat Anderson
First, I’ll start by saying I don’t consider Pat Anderson the enemy. There’s just an issue where the two of us disagree philosophically. In fact, this post is mostly about philosophical differences. In fact, that’s all this is. At a State Convention gathering, more than a few people were talking about “the Stebbins email.” One of the people talking about it forwarded it to me. Here’s the text of the email: From: Marianne Stebbins To: Marianne Stebbins Sent: Wed, May 16, 2012 8:52 pm Subject: Don’t forget that State Central immediately follows the convention on Saturday Up for election are the National Committeeman and National Committeewoman positions. The primary contest there is for Committeewoman, where both Pat Anderson, current Committeewoman is being challenged by Janet Beihoffer. I take care to not twist arms, but would like … Read entire article »
