There’s a funny throw-away line in the film Moneyball (2011), based on the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (2003). It’s the story of how the Oakland Athletics, with its general manager Billy Beane, put together a game-winning baseball roster after losing three of their best players.

Money is a coward. It goes where it won’t be assaulted. Our government is not making money safe for doing business, so many Americans are taking their money overseas. “Denise Rich, the songwriter and socialite who was once married to pardoned financier Marc Rich, has given up her U.S. citizenship,

President Obama has decreed that he is going to tax people who make over $250,000 at a higher rate than people making less, and millions of people are OK with it. How did we get to the place when elected officials can tax American citizens at disproportionate rates to pay

A very wise businessman friend of mine explained how he went about deciding whether he would hire someone for his business. “Ask the prospective client for three references. You know that you’re going to show you only the good ones. When he shows you the references, then ask for the

President Barack Obama told an Ohio campaign crowd that the outcome of the November election will determine the nation’s economic future for the next 10 to 20 years. I wholeheartedly agree. If he gets elected, America’s economic future will be a disaster for the next 10 or 20 years and

Liberals continue to disparage the greatness of America while taking advantage of everything that is great about America. In many cases liberals work overtime to overturn what is great about America and support political candidates who propose laws that are designed to unravel the very principles that made the United

“Follow the money” is catchphrase popularized by the 1976 motion picture All the President’s Men about the Watergate break-in and cover-up aftermath that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Screenwriter William Goldman attributed the phrase to Deep Throat, the informant who took part in revealing the Watergate Scandal.

Justice Roberts argued that the healthcare bill is constitutional if it operates as a tax. President Obama assured us that it “absolutely not a tax increase.” As a Supreme Justice, with a research staff at his disposal, why didn’t Justice Roberts mention this in his decision? It seems to me

Why do we have to pay so much for milk? Let’s just put more water in it. Why pay so much for paint? Why not dilute it. Why pay so much for concrete? Just add more sand and gravel? That’s the logic of “Why Pay Taxes When the Government Can

About 1000 delegates at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials were having lunch when they heard a very odd request. “It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” board member Raquel Regalado told the delegates at the group’s annual conference. It seems their utensils

I’ve been thinking a lot about race lately. There’s no way to escape the topic since nearly everybody and his brother are accusing conservatives of being racists. Eric Holder said that Americans are cowards when it comes to race. Maybe we are. No one likes to be called a racist.

Wayne Allan Root is a former Libertarian Vice-Presidential nominee and a Las Vegas oddsmaker. Root states up front that he won’t vote for either Obama or Romney. Being a Libertarian, his first choice is Ron Paul, but since Paul is not running as a third-party candidate, Root’s going to vote

Bob Richards was the first athlete to appear on the front of a General Mills Wheaties box. Lou Gehrig, the Yankee “Iron Horse,” was the first athlete to appear on the box, but it wasn’t on the cover. Richards had won the pole vault in the 1952 and 1956 Olympics.

Since 2010, I have not received a salary from the company where I’m the president and have worked for 31 years. My business partner, who is vice-president, also does not receive a salary. In addition, we’ve had to lay off a few people. My wife was the first to be

George Harrison was inspired to write the song “Taxman” (Revolver album, 1966). The Beatles were making a ton of money, but because of Britain’s “progressive” income tax, most of their earnings were being taken in taxes. As Harrison said, “‘Taxman’ was when I first realised that even though we had

Answers in Genesis (AIG), a Kentucky-based biblical creation organization, is engaged in a billboard campaign promoting their creationist worldview and creation museum. The billboards feature comic-book style images of dinosaurs. The goal of AIG is to challenge the near-monopoly that evolutionists have in promoting their view of origins. That’s why

Once again we see a liberal saying something stupid and provocative that a conservative could never say and get away with. Here’s what she said in an interview with the liberal group Mediaite: I mean, I’d like to see his house burn, one of his millions of houses burning down.

As I was channel surfing the other day and came across the film I, Robot (2004). I’ve seen the film at least ten times. It’s a marvelous commentary on the evils of political paternalism. One of my favorite scenes is when V.I.K.I., the super computer that runs every other computer
