We all knew Lois Lerner had something to hide. Now some of her emails confirm it. The following is from Politico: “Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner refers to some Republicans as ‘ass-holes’ and ‘crazies’ in an exchange from 2012, according to emails released by House Republicans on Wednesday. “‘Maybe we are

The folks at MSNBC can’t seem to get racial stuff right. First, the Romney family was denigrated when Mitt Romney’s son and daughter-in-law adopted a black child. Then a year later, the young couple was slammed again, this time by Melissa Harris-Perry. Only liberals can adopt black and mixed-race children;

The GOP didn’t get the message after the election of 2010, and it’s not getting the message after its poor showing in 2012 against Obama. Typical of Republicans, they tried to appeal to the center and ignored their base. John Boehner and a number of other Establishment Republicans are involved

Trying to get elected as a third party candidate in American politics is extremely difficult if not impossible. Ballot access is an obstacle since third parties have to meet additional criteria not required of Republicans and Democrats. Reform Party candidate Ross Perot was able to get on the ballot in

Nora Ephron lost her battle with acute myeloid leukemia. She was 71. If you’re not familiar with the name, you might be familiar with some of the films she was involved in writing, producing, and directing: Heartburn (1986) When Harry Met Sally (1989) You’ve Got Mail (1989) My Blue Heaven

Is former President Jimmy Carter — author of a new study Bible and Sunday school teacher — finally getting religion? He has come out publicly against abortion, or at least, most abortions. It’s a step in the right direction. Here’s what he said: “I never have believed that Jesus Christ

Here’s the way politics works: Liberals overreach and conservatives compromise. In the end Liberals win. Liberals will propose a ten percent tax increase, and Republicans will settle for five, the very number Democrats hoped to get. It might take Liberals longer to get to their goal, but they know that

I’m a contingency planner. My business partner is a risk-taking entrepreneur of the highest magnitude. We make a good team. When he’s pushing the envelope of a new business venture, I’m asking the “what will happen if” questions. A business needs to be prepared for the unknown. Our companies prepared

Are Republicans stupid or weak? Maybe it’s a little bit of both. They’re certainly slow learners. Once Republicans secured a tax reduction, they should never let it go. I realize that the payroll tax holiday is a reduction in Social Security income that’s used to fund the bankrupt program, but

I can’t understand why Americans talk conservative but vote liberal when it comes to government spending, until I read some of the nonsense that passes as thoughtful journalism in our nation’s newspapers. Michael Gartner of USA Today is critical of a capital gains tax cut because, you guessed it, the

Don’t hate me. I’m only the messenger of the bad news. With the economy as bad as it is, President Obama’s approval rating is over 40 percent.  The comments of Bill Daley, the current White House Chief of Staff, are telling: “Considering the debacle that he came in with, the

The National Republican Congressional Committee, at the behest of House Speaker John Boehner, has sent out a “State of the Nation Survey.” It’s really a way to raise money for the GOP. I doubt that Boehner wrote the letter that came with the survey or that he or anyone in
