No Politics in the Goldman Sachs Enforcement Action?

Posted by Taylor on April 20th, 2010 under Uncategorized Tags:  •  1 Comment

I saw this on National Review Online and thought I’d pass it along.  Dems say the SEC enforcement action against Goldman Sachs has nothing to do with politics, which makes this ad buy surprisingly coincidental. 

Moral Relativity Reigns…except

Posted by Taylor on April 9th, 2010 under Environment Tags:  •  No Comments

The all-knowing Al Gore, creator of the internet extraordinaire, spoke here at Duke yesterday.  The Goracle once again implored all to fight global warming because it is the greatest moral issue facing the world.  A friend of mine made an interesting point.  Liberals constantly claim that there is no moral absolute, that everything is relative, [...]

Hooray for HSAs

Posted by Taylor on March 2nd, 2010 under Uncategorized Tags:  •  3 Comments

I have been a cheerleader for HSAs for a while now and this Op-Ed by Mitch Daniels, govenor of Indiana, is illustrative of the benefits of an HSA plan put in practice.
Here’s a snippet:
When I was elected governor of Indiana five years ago, I asked that a consumer-directed health insurance option, or Health Savings Account [...]

TARP is the new DNC Slush Fund

Posted by Taylor on February 19th, 2010 under Government Spending, Obama, Real Estate Market Tags: , ,  •  No Comments

Obama is set to announce $1.5 billion in aid to underwater homeowners.  Nevada stands to reap a large portion of the money, so why not announce it in Vegas with Harry Reid at your side.  What’s $1.5 billion if it helps get Harry re-elected?
What happened to fiscal responsibility?
When will they end the TARP and why [...]

Global Warming Meltdown Keeps Getting Better

Posted by Taylor on February 16th, 2010 under Environment Tags: ,  •  No Comments

The climate change consensus is melting away before our eyes.  Even the scientist implicated by the climategate emails is starting to crack.
Meanwhile, one of the scientists at the center of the climategate fiasco has called into question other issues that the climate lobby has claimed are indisputable. Phil Jones, who stepped down as head of [...]

Blame Game

Posted by Taylor on February 11th, 2010 under Uncategorized Tags: ,  •  No Comments

This post from Keith Hennessey is a bit long, but worth reading.  He dissects Obama’s blame game regarding our deficit.  http://keithhennessey.com/2010/02/04/need-future-focus/
“It is strange for a President to complain repeatedly about ten-year old policies and then not propose to change them.”

Citizens United

Posted by Taylor on February 3rd, 2010 under Uncategorized  •  3 Comments

A lot has been made of the exchange between Obama and Alito during the SOTU.  Obama is dead wrong in saying that the court overturned 100 years of precedent.  It is interesting to note that the only reason media outlets, such as newspapers and such, can endorse candidates and make independent political contributions is because McCain-Feingold [...]

Feed a Child or Stop “Global Warming”

Posted by Taylor on December 8th, 2009 under Uncategorized Tags: , ,  •  2 Comments

I thought this op-ed in the WSJ was excellent.  I definitely recommend reading the whole thing here.
A couple of excerpts.
Climate scientists failed to anticipate the absence of warming in the last decade, a point that Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, privately conceded in one of [...]

Tuition Hike? Outrage. Premium Hike? Praise Obama

Posted by Taylor on December 4th, 2009 under Uncategorized  •  1 Comment

You’ve probably heard about the protests in California relating to the tuition hikes at California public universities.  Students were chaining themselves to doors and locking themselves in classrooms to demonstrate their outrage over the tuition hikes.
But are any of those students outraged about the steep rise in insurance premiums they’ll have to pay if ObamaCare passes.  [...]
