Picture this:
An organization that has been described by many as a fourth branch of government, although it is technically independent from the government, controls all of the United States monetary policies in secret. When something that it does goes into effect, people know about. However, no one really knows anything about the deliberations that [...]
My heart goes out to all of the victims of of the September 11 terrorist attacks and their families. September 11 is a day that will forever live in infamy.
I do believe that we should, however, learn as much as we can from these attacks.
I believe that there are two principle, fundamental [...]
Well Mr. President, I suppose you could give yourself an “incomplete” for the economy, but that’s like giving an “incomplete” to someone who has failed 3/4 of their college exams with one exam on the way.
It’s incredibly amusing that Obama would publicly give himself an incomplete when back in 2009 he said he would have [...]
Have you noticed how every presidential debate consists of only two candidates – the Democrat and the Republican? Where are the big third party candidates? Doesn’t it make sense to at least include some? Everyday an MSNBC anchor spits out – “Obama is so amazing”, and someone on Fox news yells – [...]

Health insurance is insurance against the risk of incurring medical expenses among individuals. These are two entirely different concepts that are too often used interchangeably.

John Schnatter, the founder and CEO of Papa John’s Pizza, has announced that as soon as Obamacare takes effect, the price of a large pepperoni pizza (and other pizza’s, wings, etc., I’m sure) will increase by a whopping 14 cents!
The idea of a large pizza’s price increasing by by 14 cents doesn’t sound like [...]
“Is Algebra Necessary?” Yes, it is.
The revered New York Times has recently published an article in which the author proposed that algebra classes needs restructuring in American high schools.
The author writes: “A TYPICAL American school day finds some six million high school students and two million college freshmen struggling with algebra. In [...]
Well, looks like the Olympics are doing well. Just kidding.
Multiple Olympians have been disqualified for offenses such as “not using one’s best efforts to win” and violating ”sporting spirit and morality”.
This is pretty ridiculous given that all the Olympians are doing is exploiting a loophole that shouldn’t have existed in the first place. In badminton, [...]
