11 Nov GOP Debate Reviewed, and what this Election Actually Means to the Economy
I believe this was debate #4 in the Republican primary but I confess I am getting to that point where I will soon start to lose count. It was not as exciting of a debate, but I am not sure "excitement" is supposed to...
10 Nov A Few Comments on the Politics of Ben Carson’s Biography
I think I have been pretty consistent in my take on Ben Carson throughout this election cycle: I like him personally (if you spend any time with him, you will see he is a charming and gentle and sincere man), and at the same time...

11 Sep We Will Never Forget
The second week of September is always going to be a tricky one for me. Every year it involves the celebration of my September 8 wedding anniversary to Joleen, and every year it involves the tragic rememberance of the September 11 nightmare that fell upon...
