“I’m very disappointed to hear that Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is near death because of a brain tumor.  I always hoped Sen. Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated. I wonder if he got a card from the Kopechnes.” - Mark Madden

Well, it looks as if local sports media personality, Mark Madden, finally [...]

Antitrust Laws and Regulation: A Boon to Monopolies

February 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Above is a worthy discussion about the anti-consumer / pro big and connected business fraud that is anti-monopoly legislation with Ron Paul. While the video is some 25 years old, the content is perfectly valid today (if not also a testament to the consistency of Ron Paul since then).
A great myth perpetuated by [...]

Caliguiri Whoop de Doo…

February 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I read with some humor David Caliguiri’s Opinion 250 response to Chad Herman’s comments in the Post Gazette from last week. (For those who don’t know, the PG is running its Opinion 250 to encourage ideas about Pittsburgh’s future at its 250th anniversary…)
Caliguiri’s intends to build on Herman’s comments — which meander around the [...]

The problems with the Fed damaging the dollar and the economy should not be taken lightly, but sometimes the best way to wake folks out of their slumber is with a little humor!

Who Owns Arlen Specter?

January 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment

We were just perusing opensecrets.org to get a better idea of campaign finance reporting. While we think such laws tend to overlook the real problem (far too many collectivized rights and property / taxes are up for sale each election much like an auction, hence politics will remain corrupted), it is interesting to at [...]

Naomi Wolf is too easily dismissed as a lefty crank. However, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater re the video above.
Above is a 45 minute lecture recorded as the University of Washington discussing how quickly political environments can change from freedom to fascism if basic, subtle political changes are allowed to [...]

GOP Tries to Silence Its Own Candidate Ron Paul

May 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said Wednesday that he will try to bar Republican Congressman Ron Paul (TX) from future GOP presidential debates because of remarks the Texas congressman made that suggested the Sept. 11 attacks were in response to U.S. foreign policy in the regions. Gee. So much for the Big [...]

The Pennsylvania Politburo: Skyrocketing Costs and Secrecy

March 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The Pennsylvania Politburo (ok… so officially it is called the General Assembly) is being further exposed being the bloated mess that it really is. The Pittsburgh Trib Review is on top of how the spending for PA politicians to get their work done far exceeds the pace of inflation.
Enablers to this all will [...]
