Are diversified investments safer than non-diversified? Or, another AP misrepresentation?
I have a 401(k) plan. 401(k) is the section of the tax code that lets me contribute money into an account tax free (i.e., the money I put in each month is off the top, and not taxed), is allowed to grow tax free (i.e., no capital gains tax) which will eventually be taxed when [...]
Five Traps That Trick Americans Into Accepting Socialized Medicine
There is no serious debate in Washington about health care, as Democrats make another attempt to confiscate control of our entire health care system. It’s a war of words even among Democrats, as each faction tries to fashion its own idea of how best to get the sheeple on the road to health care rationing. [...]
GM Bankruptcy
I think it’s interesting the a company going bankrupt would be talked about on a political blog, but apparently the US Government will own 60% of the “new GM”. Canada will also have a major stake in this “new GM” as a 12% shareholder. So now, here we find ourselves out of $30,000,000,000 (I couldn’t [...]
Obama Oops
Someone uploaded an image today. I thought it was pretty funny so I figured I’d post it.

Although the mainstream media won’t report it as such, Obama’s approval numbers are shrinking. Which means that elsewhere, certain numbers are growing — the unreported-by-the-MSM growing numbers of Americans who are kicking themselves for not having bothered to read the small print underneath the word “change.” The small print was kind of blurry, while “change” [...]

But if Obama governs in a way that’s consistent with his promises, the country’s future security and prosperity will [...]

As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t pose a threat to your job. What does [...]
Sunrise at Coffin Rock
The old man walked slowly through the dry, fallen leaves of autumn, his practiced eye automatically choosing the bare and stony places in the trail for his feet. There was scarcely a sound as he passed, though his left knee was stiff with scar tissue. He grunted occasionally as the tight sinews pulled. “Darn chainsaw”, [...]
Who caused the global economic crisis? (Hint: it wasn’t George W. Bush)
I ran across a great article today that was sent to me in the Pajamas Media daily digest. (Source: Roger’s Rules) I sometimes wonder if The New York Times is secretly in league with the country’s dentists. All the teeth grinding our former paper of record occasions must be good for those in the business [...]
