There are ways to pay less taxes because of loopholes in the Tax Code; people con their way into getting food stamps; many people receive disability payments with fake disabilities; others receive government funds for taking care of their own family members; recent headlines involved students cheating on college entrance exams and parents bribing athletic […]
I’m not sure if the article I read is more a reflection on government-run health care or the screwiness of proponents of “green” anything; it’s probably a little bit of both. I think it’s worth mentioning and gives us a glimpse into the future. Being thousands of pages long and with the Supreme Court now […]
Let me start out by saying I’m not one of those size 2 gals who won’t eat a Hershey’s kiss because they’re afraid they’ll gain an ounce. I’m a normal size 12 woman who has fought against weight gain all my adult life. I try and watch what I eat, not always successfully, but get […]
Well, the nanny state is alive and well – at least in the hearts of Democrat Senators Frank Lautenberg, Dick Durbin, Sherrod Brown and Jeff Merkley. They’re trying to urge the Food & Drug Administration to ban “flavored cigars.” I’d never heard of flavored cigars nor had I heard of flavored cigarettes which were banned […]

The political organization is sending the city an invoice for the charges incurred for […]
I have a weekly feature here called, “Down the Drain” in which I point out wasteful government spending. I could probably post something every day but then my head would completely explode. The flip side of spending, as everyone knows, is how the government – be it on the local, state or federal level – […]
There was a time when I heard the word “green” and I’d think immediately of grass, trees, St. Patrick’s Day and candies I usually didn’t like. Now, when I hear the word “green,” I immediately cringe. I cringe because I’m sure that the reference to “green” is going to refer to some new-fangled idea which […]
I’ve said it a million times. If you love the way government runs the DMV, post office, SEC in dealing with Bernie Madoff, Fannie & Freddie Mac, education, the BP oil spill, TSA and Hurricane Katrina, you’re gonna love Obamacare. We’ve already experienced government’s track record and we haven’t even scratched the surface of the […]
