A Lesson in Lack of Conviction
How I feel about Sen. John McCain–the politician, not the American war hero–is no secret. He unnecessarily pulled punches or avoided throwing them in the first place throughout the 2008 presidential election, and he was easily the worst GOP nominee that I can remember. Well, Bob Dole wasn’t sending thrills up anyone’s leg, either. Time [...]

What the Heck Was the $862 Billion For, Then?
It’s not like they haven’t tried this before. Back when the president and his party was scrambling to pass the failed $862 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, if you asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the so-called “stimulus” bill was about four things: jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs, and without it, 500 million Americans were [...]
