We Need Term Limits - Help Lott Understand Metro Cards
April 11, 2008
Kennedy, Byrd, Stevens, Lott. Those are just some names from inside the beltway that are familiar to households across the country. They are generally not known for what they have done to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It’s more likely that they’re known for bringing home the bacon, or their extended stay in Washington as congressional leaders. Read more
Couric Will Recieve Golden Parachute - Who Will Complain?
April 11, 2008
These days the main stream media and many people are slamming CEOs for “outrageous” salaries and “over-the-top” stock bonus plans. It’s not fair for those executives to be paid “200 times” more than their average employee. Attacks are more noticable when the executive leaves the company with fantastic, contractual, retirement plans.
If executives depart with golden parachutes when the stock price is taking a hit or layoffs are in process, employees - and the media - demand that attorneys general look into criminal charges. So what will happen when Katie Couric departs the anchor position at the CBS Nightly News sometime this year? Read more
Bill Clinton Wants Hillary to Loose
April 11, 2008
That’s my only explanation. During the past few days, the entire we-flew-in-while-snipers-were-shooting-at-us dust up has quieted down for the Clinton campaign. Then, just last night, Bill Clinton felt the need to bring it all up again - and he lied, again.
He said that she was tired and it was the end of the day when she “misstated” what happened upon arrival in Bosnia. The problem is, her statements were made mid-morning on St. Patrick’s Day.

But there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated — and immediately apologized for it — what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995 [sic]. Did y’all see all that? Oh, they blew it up.

CBS News producer Ryan Corsaro, who covers Senator Clinton, reports she made the claim in mid-morning on St. Patrick’s Day.

China Falls Short of Expectations
April 10, 2008
Yeah of course, but what the heck did you expect? China was in the running for the Olympics to get world-wide acceptance. Once the International Olympic Committee (IOC) gave it to them, they got what they wanted. Of course, the IOC said China promised that winning the right to host the Olympics would result in improved human rights for everyone in China. I’m not seeing the cause and effect relationship there at all.
Of course, the corporate sponsors saw a huge market, so they wanted to get into China to sell stuff. I’m wondering how they will feel when their corporate sponsorship of the games in Beijing leads to product boycotts. I definitely see that cause and effect relationship. Read more
Another Millionaire’s Tax - Don’t They Get It?
April 9, 2008
Let’s say you owned a successful local business with 25 full-time employees. Or maybe you’re a manager for a Fortune 50 company managing a staff of 50 in a city, how would you expect to be treated by the local government?
Would you be expect to be treated as a leader who has invested and supported the community, or would you rather be treated as a someone with deep pockets who can be tapped into as an additional government revenue source? Read more
