Josh the Blogger

Josh Wolf has become the person held the longest on contempt charges for failing to release, not sources of information, but rather uncut video in his possession. Portions of which he posted on his blog.
Mr. Wolf’s defense is that he is a “journalist”. What makes him a journalist? I have a blog, am I a [...]

Get a Clue!

It was reassuring that investors didn’t panic, today. Market might go down some more tomorrow, but panic would surely set the markets around the world into free fall.
Ben Bernanke, Fed Chairman, told a Congressional committee today that it will be important to balance revenues (taxes) and expenditures. If Congress wants to increase expenditures, then also [...]

Get a Grip!

The Dow Jones dropped approximately 4% on Tuesday, apparently based upon what happened in China markets. The media once again fails to put the market action into context. The media focuses on the drop, but have mentioned very little about the nearly uninterrupted and unprecedented run up in the past six months in both markets.

Media’s Fascination with All Things Hollywood

Media seems to be more interested in what is happening Hollywood , than on Main Street.  What is the media’s fascination with all things Hollywood?  In the past month, the media has been obsessing on Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears.

Tax Reform – - No More Non-Binding Rhetoric

The biggest threat to middle class tax payers is not the lack of tax cuts, but rather the tax increases brought about by primarily the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).  AMT is but another example of tax cuts not being the problem, but rather tax increases.

Some are calling upon the UN to “Do something!”.  Hopefully the [...]

Enough with Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears

Anna commits suicide.  Britney shaves her head.  I wish that they were getting ONLY their allotted 15 minutes of fame.
Note to the media – – Please stop over playing and hyping these stories.  And for heavens sake – Anna and Britney are not victims. Encourage Britney to get real help with her life, lest she [...]

Wages…Cart before the Horse

Once again the US Congress has acted on short term political expediency, rather than on long term economic considerations. Instead of addressing minimum wage, the 110th Congress should have first addressed Immigration and the underground labor market connected to people in the US illegal merely for the purpose of working at jobs that are lacking [...]
